The fulldrive is a great pedal but has less 'oomph' then many overdrives imo. they have great transparency but you may find them a little anemic when its time to get some more power out of them; a Tubescreamer will give you more balls so to speak
I thought the Fulldrive was two Tubescreamers in one box?

Actually, a Tube Screamer and a booster.

Selling BOSS FW-3. I live in Brazil, mind you, so prepare yourself for $30-ish for shipping and waiting. Local pickup available, along with beautiful beaches and cheap bitches.

Actually a tubescreamer and a second gain control.

The boost function is simply a second gain knob set in series with the first

For real? Well, I've gotta admit that's clever.

LOL; still they are the same........

well almost; fulldrive has better quality parts and are true bypass (so you'll lose the FET buffer the Ibanez has)
