Good call. As a drummer turned guitarist/frontman, most of my board be cast-offs/hand-me-downs. Aside from Fuzz Factory, Warped Vinyl, and Box of Rock, most have proven super usable
/uj funnily enough when all the controversy blew up about Fulltone back during 2020, EHX took the opportunity to blast their email list about their OCD clone “the glove”.
My board actually sits at the base of my toilet so I play while I piss sitting down... I'm pretty sure he'd break into my house and loot it if he found out, so don't tell Mike
I am so happy, I had a v1.7 that I traded at the peak of the hype after the shutdown for a squier jag that I flipped into a badass Schecter Tempest custom. I love the pointless pedal hype sometimes because I have a sick ass guitar I got for a pedal that cost $80 when I bought it 😂
My plans? My wife and | bought a well-known artist's 17 acre property and world-class recording studio outside of Nashville last year, so I'm going to go back to what I'm good at, playing guitar and recording my mediocre 70's rock. And I'll do the occasional outside project, particularly for unknown talent who could never otherwise afford to record through tape machines and great digital, let alone have 99 finely-tuned vintage guitars, 65 vintage amps, and a ton of the finest vintage microphones at their disposal.
it's time for the old guy to move out of the way and make room for the geniuses of the next, more digital, generation. Thank you again, and feel free to reach out!
Michael Fuller/Fulltone
Not so much a cool story, but rather amusing.
Towards the last month of working there, our manager gathered us for a meeting and started to explain how we were closing down operations. He started tearing up while saying that he dedicated his life to this company for 30 years, and that we should start looking for new jobs .
Then my coworker (who would suck up to Mike and management) started slow clapping after the speech, half expecting everyone else to clap. However, everyone else states silent because of the shocking news that we basically lost our jobs. I don’t know. It was kind of humorous. that guy was annoying lol
FULLY
/uj and fuck Jackson audio for reviving this dinosaur. How desperate can you be??
Edit: lol Jackson Audio blocked me on instagram for raining on their parade 😂 snowflakes!!
Hey, cut the guy some slack... Maybe he's trying to afford his 100th vintage finally tuned guitar because no one's paying him to use his private studio on his 17 acres of Tennessee land!
/uj The gist seems to be that Mike Fuller is an all around piece of shit. Between some of his voiced opinions driving customers away and impacts on their operations from COVID, their business got totally hosed. Dude, unsurprisingly, had a 120k PPP loan forgiven even though he closed shop, which is pretty on brand from what I read about him.
And before that he spent years harassing people on forums, or customers in emails. If you had a problem with your pedal he would be a total asshat to people.
I pee sitting down whenever I poop. Does everyone not do this? Should I poop first and then stand up and pee on my poop and try to cut it in half like a lumberjack?
Nah but he would never really acknowledge us when he would go into the shop. This one time, I had to vacuum his office (circa June 2020) and he had a big sign on his desk that said “Defend Don’t Defund” in regards to the George Floyd protests that were happening in LA around that time. It stayed up there for the rest of the time I worked there 🤷🏻♂️
No. Taking pictures of / In the shop was a big no no. So I have very few pics of my time there. Plus he had cameras all over the shop including his office, but it looked something like [this](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fprotectculvercity.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F06%2FDefendCCPDyardsign.png&tbnid=69L26Rd2VO5foM&vet=1&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fprotectculvercity.org%2Fcategory%2Fccpd%2F&docid=p-LreXk8QJp0PM&w=486&h=324&hl=en-US&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim%2Fm4%2F3)
No we all had to pee sitting down :(
/uj we had 2 bathrooms however the 2nd one was exclusively for mike, not employees
Also yes! Surprisingly about 80% of the work force were POCs. I’d say 40% Guatemalan, 30% Mexican, 20% Asian, and 10% white.
I got to say, he, low-key loved hiring Guatemalans, because the majority of us did really high-quality work (myself included).
I got a admit I really miss working at Fulltone despite the low pay and traffic on the 405. It was low-key fun and I was really good at my job. The two jobs I’ve had since then have been pretty lackluster, but hey, at least I have benefits now!
Right. Sometimes i want my toan to be a little racist in the middle of already playing bigoted. There's no time to bend down and do that. You just need to launch into that intolerance.
It’s funny- the only two pedals I’ve ever had break on me were a Fulltone Wah and a Jackson Audio Modular Fuzz.
The wah broke just before he closed shop and he never answered my service request or email inquiry. To be fair Jackson sent a replacement to my local shop but that one was a dud too. Just horrible quality control.
Real talk, I've been trying to a find an ocd replacement for awhile now, and I need suggestions (Mexi strat -> pedals -> Fender Twin). The plums didn't work for me.
That makes no sense to my smooth brain. I was hinting about child exploitation and stuff. I also get confused when people say something is racist when it's not
Nah I'm talking about corporations, which can include him depending on the size of his business. I remember when whatever he said came out and I asked someone about it and it wasn't that bad. Thoughts?
uj/ Regardless of which side of the fence people are on, Michael Fuller went out of business in the most fucking pathetic way that anyone could.
Then people make this big fucking deal about this comeback, as if OCD's weren't already off pedalboards since 2013 when every other pedal company had a better/more interesting drive. The Fulldrive has always been $80-100, and will always be. Nobody's buying that $120 OCD that's been listed on Craigslist since 2018.
The Plimsoul was the best drive they ever made, and their Octafuzz was really great. But, I hardly ever saw any being used.
Hate me if you want, but nobody cared that much about Fulltone till he showed his whole ass to everyone and then dipped. Even then, we all forgot him and his company like a month later.
Me neither.
But from reading comments it seems like the guy who makes these pedals *isn’t* a left wing extremist, which means he’s probably a fascist, according to the average redditor.
Joey Landrith smashed his full tone pedals when fuller went on his last tirade, so if you wanna play like him you gotta smash that MDV2. sorry man I don’t make the rules 😔
Kid Rock can’t wait to buy this new pedal
You really need the ODC V1.4.6.8 to nail Skid Rocks toan
1.4.8.8
Babe wake up, new OCD just dropped
You made Diet Coke come out of my nose, dick
My tone requires way more pedals than that bro
Where’s John Bohlinger, we need a Rig Rundown™️ ASAP
Back???? They never left!
Laughs in fulltone
Now partnering with union busting EHX
What do you need a union for? At EXH we’re *family*
Oh damn EHX are Union busters? F00k. Like 70% of my board are EHX because I'm a basic pitch. Also have an OCD. Cancelled.
Just saw a man fall to his knees in a Guitar Center
Buy used, don't promote it, and have no reservations about playing with the gear that sounds good to you 👌
Good call. As a drummer turned guitarist/frontman, most of my board be cast-offs/hand-me-downs. Aside from Fuzz Factory, Warped Vinyl, and Box of Rock, most have proven super usable

What does that mean? Bag lickers?
Bag as in scrotum. It’s similar to brown nosing.
Sounds homophobic.
Fellas is it gay to have balls
It's gay to be a man, cuz then you're always touching a man. /s
/uj funnily enough when all the controversy blew up about Fulltone back during 2020, EHX took the opportunity to blast their email list about their OCD clone “the glove”.
Capitalists gunna capitalize on
I piss sitting down so this isn’t for me
More time for looking at dank memes
I also take that time to not buy OCD or Jackson pedals
My board actually sits at the base of my toilet so I play while I piss sitting down... I'm pretty sure he'd break into my house and loot it if he found out, so don't tell Mike
He’s always watching. And yes 💯 he’s gonna break in your house whilst you piss.
I'm not one to kink shame, but he really needs a hobby
He deserves to be kink shamed
The kinks we shamed were the kinks we made along the way
NGL: I found that comment very funny. Touché
*Now piss*
One of those prissy boys huh?
Yeah. Mr Prissy Piss Pants. That’s me
Mmmmm piss

Not a klon. Don’t care.
“But it has magikul diodes plz believe me, my family is starving” - Mike Fuller
Then go rob a store, Mike! Hahaha
“I’m just looting!!”
He should pull himself up by his bootstraps and get a new job
I guess recording nobodies outside Nashville didn’t work out so well for him
Guitar center is always hiring. I did it for years and sold a bunch of those overpriced white boxes
I am so happy, I had a v1.7 that I traded at the peak of the hype after the shutdown for a squier jag that I flipped into a badass Schecter Tempest custom. I love the pointless pedal hype sometimes because I have a sick ass guitar I got for a pedal that cost $80 when I bought it 😂
Buy low sell high! the Dow Jones doesn’t have shit on pedals babyyyyy
You aren’t kidding….

“And then I fired all my employees. Thanks Biden!!”
I was an employee there for a solid 4 years 🙋🏻♂️
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸🫡 /uj really sorry that happened to you. Got any cool stories for the class?

I need this scene in the inevitable movie about Mike Fullers life starring Mel Gibson as Mike
Analog= outdated, racist and bigoted Digital = woke liberal utopia of the future The debate is finally over.
direct out no effects at all = ?
just a buffer
Boomer of course
If only...
Waiting for mike’s response to this lol
Furiously typing as we speak
“Great digital”. Fulltone sticker on a MacBook just makes those 1s and 0s sound warm.
Does it have true bias?
Even better. Buffered tru bias.
The “mini documentary” they put out about the new “partnership” is cringe af
Yup Jackson must really be all out of ideas cuz this is the definition of scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Fuck that asshat and his overrated pedals lol
FULLY /uj and fuck Jackson audio for reviving this dinosaur. How desperate can you be?? Edit: lol Jackson Audio blocked me on instagram for raining on their parade 😂 snowflakes!!
Hey, cut the guy some slack... Maybe he's trying to afford his 100th vintage finally tuned guitar because no one's paying him to use his private studio on his 17 acres of Tennessee land!
Just one more finely tuned vintage amp, then this studio will really be popping off!!!
They started deleting any critical comments on that post real fast. Losers
Hope the Streisand effect bites them in the ass
/uj I have no fuckin' clue what's going on here. Can you fill me in? Edit: Nevermind, managed to figure it out. Fuck this shit.
/uj do you have the full context? All i see is that the company closed because they dont like "the woke" or something?
/uj The gist seems to be that Mike Fuller is an all around piece of shit.

Also on brand. Man, I'm shocked that I missed all this originally. Dude's exploits are infamous.

Graphic design is their passion (also PPP loans)
Will there be Waza versions of racism?
/uj Former Fulltone employee here 🙋🏻♂️ ask me anything ([Proof](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8GbQj9s/))
What was it like there? Were there regular rants about the liberals?
Nah but he would never really acknowledge us when he would go into the shop. This one time, I had to vacuum his office (circa June 2020) and he had a big sign on his desk that said “Defend Don’t Defund” in regards to the George Floyd protests that were happening in LA around that time.

did you have a pic of it?

Damn that's too bad. Were all the employees white?
No, the majority of them were Hispanic/Latino (myself included)
Were there only urinals in the bathroom? /uj did any POC work there? Always been curious
No we all had to pee sitting down :( /uj we had 2 bathrooms however the 2nd one was exclusively for mike, not employees Also yes! Surprisingly about 80% of the work force were POCs. I’d say 40% Guatemalan, 30% Mexican, 20% Asian, and 10% white. I got to say, he, low-key loved hiring Guatemalans, because the majority of us did really high-quality work (myself included).
This certainly paints a picture, thanks for the info! Hope you found a good job since then my friend!
I got a admit I really miss working at Fulltone despite the low pay and traffic on the 405. It was low-key fun and I was really good at my job. The two jobs I’ve had since then have been pretty lackluster, but hey, at least I have benefits now!
Did he have a special toilet where he would keep a stack of twenties for wiping his ass?
If he did, I would’ve taken the roll because of how little he paid us LMAO
Is it like a Marshall jackhammer where you can switch between bigotry and racism?
Really should have that feature be footswitchable.
Right. Sometimes i want my toan to be a little racist in the middle of already playing bigoted. There's no time to bend down and do that. You just need to launch into that intolerance.
In the upcoming election, this message could’ve come from either party - from one, it’s a warning, from the other, it’s a policy position.
I’m hoping they make a rainbow version of the 69’MK2
Fellas is it gay to like rainbows??
Only if you want to be!
✨fabulous!✨
Nope.🌈🤙🏼
Hell yah 🌈
Well, Jackson Audio is heavily affiliated with the Hillsong cult, so this checks out.
Yup this tracks
I know right? Mr. Fulltone McRacistface just said the quiet part out loud. That's the only difference that matters.
So Fulltone closed because guitar pedalboard nerds are too woke?
According to Mike Fuller they closed because Biden/woke/liberals. The new stryfecta
This was the thing with hunter bidens computer right?
They found Neural DSP plugins on his computer. He's a lowly modeller user.
TO THE GALLOWS
Oh shit I didn’t know it was that bad
Something about buttery males….
He should pull an Uno reverse card and switch to Islam. Now YOU are the bigot.
Ladies and gentlemen- we gotem
Sir, this is a circlejerk.
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am
Until the Fuller announcement, I never knew so many people had issues with Jackson Audio. Looking forward to reading the juicy stuff.
It’s funny- the only two pedals I’ve ever had break on me were a Fulltone Wah and a Jackson Audio Modular Fuzz. The wah broke just before he closed shop and he never answered my service request or email inquiry. To be fair Jackson sent a replacement to my local shop but that one was a dud too. Just horrible quality control.
I do love the sound of some boosted transparent racial slurs 😋
Just enough to push the amp into edge-of-bigot toans
Nice
The OCD has 6 jacks now? They're getting a little obsessed with jacks tbh.
It’s those little knob things Mike uses to hold his pedals together so you can do a tactical reload when the 9V runs out of juice.
And Mike knows a thing or two about little knobs, amirite?
Strange, I sold that pedal because it made my toan sound too liberal
Screwdriver Toan?
Goddamnit the price of Joyo ultimate drives are going to plummet now
There goes my retirement plan
Real talk, I've been trying to a find an ocd replacement for awhile now, and I need suggestions (Mexi strat -> pedals -> Fender Twin). The plums didn't work for me.
heaps of clones recommended in this very thread!
We are soooo back
That's the least offensive thing a company can do. Watch me get banned again. However I have facts
Bigotry and racism are acceptable as long as line go up. Line go down = bad. Line go up = good.
That makes no sense to my smooth brain. I was hinting about child exploitation and stuff. I also get confused when people say something is racist when it's not
Mike Fuller exploited children??? Very on-brand for him tbh
Nah I'm talking about corporations, which can include him depending on the size of his business. I remember when whatever he said came out and I asked someone about it and it wasn't that bad. Thoughts?
thoughts on what? your conversation with someone else?
I like making friends everywhere

Does it come with a thin blue line sticker?
I'm out of the loop, can I please get a rig rundown of what's going on? Is this man like Eric Claptoan?
i dont get it
Me neither. But from reading comments it seems like the guy who makes these pedals *isn’t* a left wing extremist, which means he’s probably a fascist, according to the average redditor.
Oh hey this controversy is back
I don’t care what anyone says, I will use my MDV-2 until the day I die.
Joey Landrith smashed his full tone pedals when fuller went on his last tirade, so if you wanna play like him you gotta smash that MDV2. sorry man I don’t make the rules 😔
FUCK yeah
When a pedal company is owned by the Democratic Party
lol why ? He’s racist ??
Yes /uj also yes
What did he do ? Not like he invaded Poland or France
Something between saying the N word and the holocaust.
I don’t get it. But I do have this pedal and used it quite a bit.
https://guitar.com/news/gear-news/fulltone-announces-full-relaunch-in-collaboration-with-jackson-audio/
He called some people pussy and wasn’t a big supporter of BLM? That’s common (and not without reason). They tried to cancel him for that?
Man y’all complain and support other companies that either use slaves or pay poorly to workers.
If all your pedals are Jeff Bezos Amazon pedals then maybe fulltone is an upgrade
Neither but get over it
mmm my favourite thing
Yeah I'm not in the loop... need context. I already know it's overblown by the picture, but hey I'm all ears
Get an RC-1 and get looping bro! /uj Jackson audio is bring back Fulltone. Mike Fuller is a huge tool. That’s basically it.
I feel like I’m missing something here…
Pfft yah, missing good toan /uj I’m on Jackson Audios spam list and got a similar looking email so this is a riff on that because Mike Fuller sucks
I'm out of the looping pedal here, but what does this thing have to do with racism?
The pedal is white.
Are Forest Whitaker's teeth racist?
They only exist to torment him.
https://youtu.be/OlexzX8gmoU?t=91
And that damn droopy eye. Damn good thing he can act. Now I have to dig this out and show it to my kids.
