This is an interesting twist in the story. Sorry if it has already been explored. Apparently, Fultone ended their business months ago with GC due to guitar center’s financial troubles and inability to pay Fulltone some $60,000 that was owed. This was months prior to the initial post GC made that inspired this thread.

FWIW, I’m not a fan of either company. Their products are synonymous versions of each other. However, I feel inclined that GC using Floyd’s death to vamp up their image is sleazier than the fulltone guy calling people pussies.

Yeah. A major bicycle manufacturer recently made a big deal about not selling bikes to police when they had already decided some time ago to drop their law enforcement models for financial reasons.

What a trendy thing to do to help sales, right?

I used to cycle a bit. Just curious who that bicycle manufacturer was?

or when you're drunk and don't want to piss on your bathroom floor or when you're so hungover and can't be bothered to aim :whistle:

Or maybe you are just tired and you can close the door, sit down, and get away from the kids yelling for a couple minutes while you check OSG.

I agree with the above. I also have Fulltone pedals that i like, and will keep.

I feel that some of you folks are feeding off each other’s anger to an excessive degree. The point about Mike Fuller has been well made. He’s been variously described here as a “turd”, a “turd and a half” and a “giant turd”. From what i’ve seen, i agree that he seems to be some variant of turd.

However extending the rage by dredging up old controversy about JHS, Analogman, et. al. is not productive, and i thought this forum was better than that. If i want to read page after page of hate, i can get that in plenty other places on the web.

I understand that everyone is pissed off and tense right now - especially in the US - but don’t let it consume you.

Cheers!

Today I had another order for one of those John Cruz guitars and the tone capacitor wasn't even soldered on and I was like "he's so busy posting racist memes he can't even wire up the guitar right so I had to do it for him!!!"

That is hysterical.

Nice handiwork, too. Is it something you built or just re-branded?

Not mine. Stumbled across it today. Somebody on Reddit's handiwork.
