Fulltone Secret Freq (Secret Frequency)is a drive that does the gig-friendly clean boost and OD thing as good as any. And it goes well past that when asked to, right into Rock territory while retaining a natural sound.
Dynamic asymmetrical clipping gives the Secret Freq. a sweet, musical clean boost, juicy overdrive, and rich, touch responsive high gain sounds. Not like the PlimSoul, nothing like the OCD, and not like any other pedal, but worth the price of admission were you to use it simply as is for your “bread and butter” OD/Distortion pedal.
But the ‘Freq has WAY more tricks in its bag than your average transparent OD/Distortion… it just may knock a handful of OD/Distortions right off your ’board and straight on to Ebay thanks to another innocent looking knob labeled “Freq.”.
Turn the Freq. knob clockwise and you get 20db of active narrow band juicy MIDRANGE right where it does the most good. Adding the ‘Freq’s midrange imparts incredible sustain and lets you easily place the guitar in the mix where you want it, irrespective of volume… soundman’s not going to bury you anymore.
Along with a slew of basic great OD/Distortion pedal sounds, it allows you to replicate a very, very wide range of your favorite guitar & amp sounds. This pedal is a truly versatile and natural sounding pretty transparent OD/Distortion.
