First Impressions: Fulltone Fat-Boost FB-3

I recently picked up a second-hand Fulltone Fat-Boost FB-3.

This is a photo of my Fulltone Fat-Boost FB-3 guitar effects pedal.

The pedal comes in a metallic silver case. Input and output audio jacks are on the side. 9V power is on the left-hand side of the pedal, close to the output audio jack.

There are five controls shown on the top of the pedal:

- two large knobs at the top, for output volume and drive (a bias control for the internal FET)
- two small trim pots, one labelled "Bass" and one labelled "Treble" — The Fulltone Fat-Boost FB-3, on my pedalboard.

What do I think of it? Here are my first impressions.

Studio Diary #64: Chasing The Amp That Got Away

‘Studio Diary’ is an occasional series where I talk about building a home recording setup for hobbyists and enthusiasts like us. I share my personal experiences, and the thinking behind some of the decisions that I’ve made along the way.

Many of us have tales of “the one that got away” … a guitar or an amp that we’ll always regret not buying at the time. This is one of those tales, and the story of how I’ve recently reproduced something similar in my Axe-FX 3.

And it’s all thanks to That Pedal Show.

#CoffeeAndKlon 30: My “Last Day On Earth” Rig

#CoffeeAndKlon is my occasional Sunday magazine-style series, where I talk about whatever’s on my mind about guitars, gear, music and yes, sometimes my love of both coffee and the Klon pedal.

If tomorrow was going to be your last day on Earth, and you could spend it playing just one guitar rig (that you already own), what would you be playing?
