The Fulltone Plimsoul MKII is a drive beast with two head, one for soft and one for hard-clipping overdrive/distortion.
Distortion pedals usually offer two clipping choices: Soft-Clipped or Hard-Clipped. Soft-Clipped pedals, like Tube Screamers or Full-Drive 2, get their distortion by using diodes placed in the feedback loop of their Op-Amps and give a cleaner, more compressed, low-to-medium gained overdrive sound. Hard-Clipped pedals like RAT or OCD use diodes tied to ground or, unique to the OCD v2, Mosfets that are tied to the half-way point between 9v and ground, offering a more natural sounding distortion.
The PlimSoul is the only pedal to offer both Soft & Hard clipping with separate control over each. The PlimSoul’s unique, independent dual-stage clipping circuit was designed to replicate not only the sound, but the feel of a tube amp with its subtleties and complexities.
