To everyone who has tried or owned both. I read that they almost have the same functions. But which one has better tone possibilities or better tone. I only have a Fulldrive.

I would also like to know

Check out RWFender's posts under " Banzai
Fireball reviews".

Yeah, I can assure you'll like the Fireball best. Its perfect. To be honest, at first, I was a little reluctant to buy it because when I owned a Fulldrive II I wasnt extrememly impressed, but I liked the idea of the pedal having the compcut and a boost option. I found the Banzai site and emailed Olaf. He was extremely friendly and honest. Infact, he even told me maybe i shouldnt buy the fireball if i wasnt a big Fulldrive II fan. I was so impressed with his site and the harmony central reviews, i purchased it anyways and have no regrets. It was like a Fulldrive II, but everything I hated about it was fixed. Its my favorite overdrive. I hope to get a New Rising Sun in the future. You wont be dissapointed with any Banzai product im sure...

Gotta tie up a few loose ends first, but I'll be ordering a Fireball soon fer sure...

The FDII falls into the " almost but not quite" category for me.

Got a feelin' the F'ball is as cool as you say it is, RWFender !

Anyone here spent time with their "Fireball" for awhile? Do you still like it, and really hear the difference to the Fulldrive?

I own both !

Same price, same functions, same sound, different look !

I prefer Fireball because :
-smaller
-switch against pull for comp cut
-settings go a bit further
-less noisy in extreme settings

but
I have A/B them and discovered they sound slightly different in mediums. Maybe FDII sounds a little bit flatter (some say processed) than Fireball. I'm not sure since I tried them only with my Prosonic combo... and anyone could prefer one sound on the other... Sorry for the unclear answer but taste is personnal matter !

If you like one, you'll like the other. If you are after creamier or more mid-ranged OD ala Tubescreamer, avoid them ! And don't buy both, keep extra cash to buy a true-bypass wah !

We're in the same boat, FF-71. I'm also wait-
ing on a Fireball. I'll post my opinions here
and I'm especially interested in hearing your
views, since you are also an AC 30 guy.(I use
blues, not greenbacks. You?)

My initial plan:


gtr > Picture Wah > BB OD > '69 > Klon >
> Fireball > modulation > delay

Also plan on installing the Dave Fox wah retrofit in the Picture and probably others
in the future.

Will do FD II/F'ball shootout, as well.

How do you plan on running/comparing your
Fireball? Thanks.

I have the Greenbacks.. although I kinda regret not having the Blue speakers.
I have tried the picture wha and wasn't too impreesed by it. I still prefer my modified Vox/ MJM Ulysses wha.

Right now I'm using:

52' tele RI, Epiphone Casino>London Fuzz>Ulysses wha> Blues Devil>Ibanez AD-9> tuner>Vox Ac30

I'm quite happy with this set-up but, and I sometimes add the ff:
Boss Ce-2
MJM Brit-Bender
Zvex fuzzfactory

I am also interested on getting a Hotcake, because I heard they are great with Voxes.

I have both of the pedals and do prefer the FB over the FD. The tone is creamier. Banzai is the only other non-Fulltone pedals on my board right now. I love Fulltones stuff but I think my man olaf has madeimprovements upon the Klon Centaur and te Fulltone Fulldrive 2 and his New Rising Sun is giving the Fat-Boost a run for it's money.
