Cons of Fat Boost 3
Some of the users may find the pedal design to be
unappealing. It can also be expensive for a boost pedal. The drive knob may
make a scrapping sound when you turn it. Although this sound may be annoying
for some, you need to remember that is actually normal.
The 11 position gain control that was missing in version 2
has been bought back and this can help you gain control over the FET in an
effortless manner. You may be able to play more dynamic notes as they hold on
longer without getting distorted. It can make up for tone loss that pedals make
to the sound especially if there are a lot of pedals on the board.
The Fat Boost 3 can be an excellent choice if you are
looking for a feature rich boost pedal and high end build quality. It is well
made on the whole and is certainly sturdy and functional. http://www.amazon.com/Fulltone-FB-3-Fat-Boost-3-Boost/dp/B002ATP23Y
