These days, it seems like so-called "boutique" effects pedal
manufacturers are a dime a dozen. Not too long ago, however, handmade
effects pedals were few and far between, until Mike Fuller founded
Fulltone Custom Effects. A former studio musician and one-time award
winning blues guitarist, Mike Fuller almost single-handedly started the
high-end pedal business and still offers a variety of pedals at a price
that undercuts the competition. Despite the company's success, Fulltone
still makes every pedal by hand they all bear the signature of their
founder.
The company's flagship product is still the Fulldrive, which even in its current manifestation (the Fulldrive 2 Mosfet) still owes its basic feel to the hot-rodded TS808 sounds that Fulltone popularized years ago. Since that time, however, Fulltone has added a variety of distortion and overdrive colors to their pedal-palette. Both the OCD and GT-500 take the company's product line in exciting new directions.
Rather than offering fanciful "pedals of the week," Fulltone offers pedals that focus on classic rock and blues tones, such as the Deja-Vibe, the Supa-Trem, and the Ultimate Octave. The Fulltone Clyde Wah graces the pedalboards of studio musicians and performing professionals from California to New York. Recently, Fulltone has also begun manufacturing a modern alternative to the time-honored Echoplex tape echo with numerous contemporary upgrades (quiet motors, handwired, stereo outs, nickel plated stainless steel parts).
All Fulltone pedals share the same high commitment to quality and customer service. All pedals contain true bypass switching courtesy of Fulltone's own 3PDT quality bypass switching. Overengineered to stand the rigors of the studio and the road, Fulltone effects pedals are the very definition of American craftsmanship.
From David Grissom to Eric Johnson, guitar professionals again and again choose Fulltone for their sound-sculpting needs.
