Fulldrive 3 problem

[dcarroll]

Hi All,

I just bought a Fulldrive 3 from Chicago Music Exchange to use with my Deluxe Reverb 68 reissue.

I've owned pedals before but sold all of them and am getting back into playing recently.

The setup is just Eastman 386 -> Fulldrive -> D.R

Even when not turned out, plugging in the Fulldrive 3 reduces the volume on the D.R by at least 30%. The 3D tube like sound is gone too. Is something wrong with the pedal or is this volume drop normal and I need to crank the amp more? Just put a new battery in. Switching the order of the boost to drive on the pedal makes a loud clicking sound too.

Thanks!

sounds like an issue. mine does not do that.

If its not engaged and still kills the volume it could be a faulty switch. Give CME a shout and they should exchange it.

The fd3 is not tru bypass anymore, so it could be a bad buffer.

Did you troubleshoot your cables?

Does it have a fresh battery?

Thanks all for the responses. It has a fresh battery and cables are good.
