Full-Drive1 (FD1) Overdrive PedalThe earlier version Fulltone Full-Drive2 has always been a Tube-Screamer killer, plain and simple. The original Full-Drive2 shined with the addition of its vicious Comp-Cut (CC) mode which pummels the input of even the most stubborn tube amp. Add to that Flat-Mids (FM) mode for another choice offering slightly more open, natural sound. The only drawback to the Full-Drive2 is the size and the fact that many people just don’t use the “Boost” channel that much, so for 20 years people have been asking for a small, single channel version that sounds like the early 90s Full-Drive2s. Well, it’s here...
Enter the Full-Drive1 (FD1) with its JRC4558 opamp, full-size audiophile-grade capacitors, internal battery cradle, 9-18VDC operation, tiny bullet-proof steel enclosure, top-mounted jacks, True-Bypass, a warmer early-90s Comp-Cut mode than any FD2, and an even more natural sounding Flat-Mids mode. Vintage (V) mode has gorgeous, cut-through-the-mix, MIDRANGE but with more harmonic content and a ton of sustain.
This isn’t your Dad’s Full-Drive!
CONTROLS
VOLUME KNOB:
Determines the level of the pedal when it’s turned ON only.
TONE KNOB:
This is an active treble Boost or Cut circuit. You’ll find that the 12 to 1 o’clock position to be pretty neutral, turn it CCW (counter clockwise) to 10 o’clock or so for smoother high-gain lead sounds (with Drive knob higher than 12 o’clock) or turn it clockwise for more cut, and a less compressed feel.
OVERDRIVE KNOB:
Turn this Clockwise (CW) for more distortion, keep below 10 0‘clock (with higher Volume knob settings) for cleaner sounds and for boosting your amp’s input without adding much distortion.
CLIPPING SWITCH:
CC = Comp-Cut mode:
V = Vintage mode: Normal diode clipping with strong midrange presentation.
FM = Flat-Mids mode: uses a proprietary feedback circuit that returns signal to the clipping section cancelling out some of the midrange content, creating a very open, natural sounding overdrive.
Features:
• Input Impedance = @ 370K ohms
• Output Impedance = 10k ohms
• Current draw= approximately 8 mA
• POWER: You may run this pedal on the 9 volt battery (included) or on any voltage between 9 and 18 Volts DC as long as the adapter is (standard) 2.1mm x 5.5mm barrel plug with “Negative to Center Pin” configuration.
• Size: 4.8" x 2.9" x 2.35"

Skimming the Surface
Format: Hardcover
The essence of this book is to succinctly explain the role of CIA's National Clandestine Service (Directorate of Operations) in formulating and more importantly executing a coherent counter-terrorism strategy. Gary Berntsen is a retired CIA intelligence officer (clandestine service) with an impressive record of field assignments to his credit. He also clearly knows the ways of Washington D.C. in that this book is designed for those suffering from attention deficit disorder. While he raises several interesting point in the book, he also reveals an astonishing narrowness of view and tendency to reduce everything to its simplest terms.
In his introductory `background' chapter Berntsen makes the dubious claim that the collection of intelligence from human sources (HUMINT) is the "primary mission of CIA." Apparently he is unaware that CIA was originally founded to produce all source finished intelligence and that the National Intelligence Council (NIC), until recently under CIA, was the final word in the U.S. Intelligence System. Nothing reveals the sorry state of CIA's Directorate of Intelligence better than this claim. In the same manner Berntsen is apparently oblivious to the availability and uses of intelligence collected by technical means. To his credit he does recognize that the best intelligence is more often available from open (non-classified) sources than from secret sources. Yet he neither expands nor follows up this observation.
Berntsen more or less follows this pattern through out this book. For example he provides a brief discussion of the traditional Islamic Banking System called Hawalla, but is apparently unaware that the system is based on a recognized credit not cash and that money does not move across international borders. The system is widely trusted and is widely used by Muslim expatriates in the West and Saudi Arabia to send money home. For this reason Hawalla credit transfers providing money to terrorists are easily lost in a world wide mass of transactions. Yet it is possible to track Hawalla transactions and it has been done without "intensive manpower" allocations.
Berntsen deserves a good deal of respect and credit for his obvious service to the U. S. and his dedication to the cause of clandestine intelligence operations and its hand maiden covert operations. Yet this book is a terminally superficial and ill-considered work by someone who not only should know better, but could have produced a first rate `practical guide' to a counter-terrorism strategy.

Excellent Overview on Counterterrorism

What really sets this book apart from the rest of books on the subject is that it illustrates positive solutions to the problems. It is also a very entertaining and fun read. I would highly recommend this book to anyone concerned over current events and terrorism in our time.
