7/10/2010 Sonny Landreth, after Canadian gig with the PlimSoul using rented backline Twin: man, the pedal sounds and feels great! I know that Twin never sounded so stellar...can't wait to use it with my"fly rig.

For many, many years you've basically had 2 choices for your Overdrive;/Distortion pedals... You could either get "Soft-clipped" Bluesy, slightly compressed, (Toob Screemer, FD2, etc etc etc etc etc etc) type Overdrive pedals... or you could get "Hard-Clipped" (OCD, Distortion+, Boss DS-1, etc etc etc etc etc etc) type Distortion pedals.

What if there was a pedal that offered both?

There is now..... the Patent Pending Fulltone PlimSoul

PlimSoul has those Softer Bluesey, Compressed capabilities but also has a Second Stage that you can roll in with the turn of a little dial to add that firmer, crunchier, British output tube style Distortion! What's more is you not only hear and feel it...you can SEE the pedal reacting to your every mood via a firey LED that glows brighter and dimmer depending on how distorted it is and how hard you're hitting it.

Touch sensitive? Doesn't get any better.

Clean up with the guitar's volume control? More than any, yes, even more than the Fulltone OCD. Speaking of OCD, people ask "What's the comparison? Easy answer: OCD has an honest flat EQ, won't change your amp's tone. PlimSoul has a gorgeous enhanced Midrange and Lower midrange...excellent to transform a combo into a Marhall-like Lead machine, not so necessary if you already have a Marshall-like amp. PlimSoul can be used on any combo.

Good with Humbuckers as well as Single coils? Yep.

Does it play nice with other pedals? Yes, it has an Ideal 500K Input Impedance, ideal super low 10K output impedance.

How dirty does it get? VERY dirty, the dirtiest pedal Fulltone makes...but gets very clean as well.

Can the 2 types of Distortion be blended? Yes, and you can have ONLY Soft clipped or ONLY Hard Clipped :)

In a Nutshell? Extremely good Sustain/Feedback qualities, just the right amount of Mids, bottom, Great touch sensitivity, dynamics, and all those in-between shades available when you know how to use your guitar's volume control.

Fulltone is already starting to see pedal builders taking notice and "getting inspired" by the PlimSoul's unique design, which combines independently adjustable soft & hard clipping and successfully emulates the "sag" and other behaviors associated with a tube amp's output section and tube rectifier. With the OCD, Fulltone gooped the pcb for 5 years or so to slow them down, but you're now seeing a handful of "OCD-inspired" pedals being sold under various names. Now Fulltone is seeing Photoshop renderings popping up from other makers claiming to be developing a pedal that "emulates output tube distortion" pedals ala Plimsoul." Although Fulltone didn't bother gooping the PlimSoul, the patent process is well under way.)

Features True Bypass Switching via the Fulltone 3PDT switch.
