Re: RIP Fulltone
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.

Re: RIP Fulltone
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.

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

Re: RIP Fulltone
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.
Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

You haven't read the covid thread yet lmao.JVG wrote: ↑Sat Jun 06, 2020 11:53 amI 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!

Re: RIP Fulltone
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?
