Fulltone closing?

[MiniForklift]

Reading his ‘see ya later’ letter makes me feel a bit better for selling my Fulltone Fuzz Octave

[robthemac]

It is a really interesting question as to how much you can or should separate a creator from the product or art. I probably wouldn't buy something new from him or JHS, just like I'd struggle to pay to watch a movie that Kevin Spacey is getting a cut from. But on the second hand market, I'd consider it to be distant enough that I could just see an OCD as a great pedal.

Whats wrong with JHS?

JHS isn't liked because they're partnered with a pretty a radical organization called IHOPKC (International House of Prayer) which is a superchurch-type of religious sect that's had some questionable investigations into their practices. They're considered extreme by even a lot of Christians. They're pretty homophobic and they supported the "Kill the Gays" bill in Uganda to an extent. They're featured in the documentary "God Loves Uganda" which shows a lot of what they're up to and criticized for and documents it.

Not sure how accurate that is

There's been some doubt as to how actively JHS supported them, but I am uncomfortable enough to avoid them.

I remember when it kicked off but never followed the story since...

IHOP really should stick to pancakes.

JHS is also just a bit of a dick though…

And Fuller’s fuzzes are crap. He used fake transistors (those are NOT nos NKT 275s in old 69s…)

Sorry, I seem to be in a slightly salty mood this morning!

This whole "suddenly more desirable" vibe is silly. Reverb prices are already climbing...why? Does his pedals n ow sound better? I've had plenty of Fulltone. Sold every one of them.

He seems like a really likable guy, and its great that he showcases other manufacturers pedals on his videos.

[Capt. Black]

I wasn't paying attention. What did Fulltone guy do to raise the ire of people?

[MogwaiBoy]

The OCD was good for its time but way overrated these days.

But anyway, there goes the used market!

I feel sorry for all the people he's laying off so he can retire comfortably. So much for succession plans...

Basically just being a quim.

As I say, needlessly salty today. I really have nothing against him, but his videos are too long. And I don't like the way his pedals look. So I guess I'm the dick here!

Use of Brush Script alone is worthy of being cancelled.
