Fulltone has been a premium purveyor of pedals for more than 30 years, having opened their doors to critical acclaim in the early 1990s. After a short series of industry setbacks, Fulltone’s Mike Fuller found himself questioning the future of his company and the pedal world at large. Following a chance encounter with Jackson Audio and Jackson Ampworks cofounder Brad Jackson, a pedal partnership was born. NAMM 2024 marked the launch of the freshly reinvigorated Fulltone array, and Sweetwater had the pleasure of hosting both Brad Jackson and Mike Fuller for a comprehensive interview to discuss their respective legacies, how Jackson Audio is preserving iconic Fulltone designs, and the future of their endeavors.

Deja Vibe MkII. Best vibe pedal in production
Tube Tape Echo (TTE) circa 2004. Signed by Mike. Built like a tank. Never had any problems with it.
I have a Fulltone RANGER Treble Booster that I'm very fond of - can easily get Brian May & Black Sabbath sounds (it's a germanium Dallas Rangemaster treble booster clone). 😎
Deja Vibe, OCD, Plimsoul, 69 Fuzz, Octafuzz, Fulldrives, and more! 😎
OCD -Ge
I have a 2009 Clyde Deluxe Wah and a 2014 OCD = both phenomenal . . . look, sound & perform exactly as the day they were purchased. oNe LovE from NYC
Real useful history and overall application of your product line. I’ve always loved the build quality (your pedals are built sturdy)and the usability for the wide range of tones I get from them.
Keep up the good work. So glad to have met you at the 2024 NAMM show.
Can't wait to get the whole collection
I just bought the mdv-3 Deja vibe. I like Mike Fuller and I understand how he felt during the rioting and looting. I think he’s a good guy and an actual genius.
I have two Fulltone Deja vibes from the original California facility would not part with them simply brilliant and so happy to see Fulltone back
I've got a bunch Fulltone pedals. The '69 is the one that stays on my small board all the time. A nice dynamic, tweakable fuzz face.
If you make another Clyde put a Q control on the outside. I would rather have that then all the other knobs on the deluxe.
Rock on and thanks.
No Catalyst fuzz? I got some stunning broken up, articulate overdrive sounds out of mine years ago. I recently tried a full drive 3, sold it within weeks. But it’s a taste thing. I happened to love the boost but not the overdrive side.
Waiting for choral flange 😍😍😍😍😍
Glad to see that Fulltone will continue to be around in some form.
Recently ordered the OCD Ge from Fulltone USA. Love the usability of this overdrive. Definitely a different OD than my 2005 OCD. The pedal has a richer lower midrange and seems more responsive than the version 1. Good stuff.
I LOVE my Fulltone Deja Vibe pedal and my OCD pedal :-)
Glad to see them back, always quality products.
OCD rocks, waiting to see what the new partnership brings
#1 pedal brand of my top 3
Jackson Audio are some of the best new pedals on the market, Fulltone are some of the best pedals of all time. Dream team..!
Anytime I am playing around with an old multi effects pedal I add a Fulltone in the mix and the sound just comes alive. Great demo and conversation!
I love my Deja Vibes:). yes , plural:)
Looking forward to picking up the Supa-Wah. Tried it at NAMM and loved it!
Waited for this interview for years, thanks!
So glad you’re back Mike!!! Fulltone forever!!!
Have 2 OCD pedals, love em...
As far as essential pedals I love my ‘69 Slight Return for that classic Fuzz Face sound.
Kick A$$! Fantastic interview!!!! Cheers 🥂
Can’t wait to hear the Choral Flange
Brad Jackson's voice is so similar to danny McBride that I keep preparing to laugh bracing for a joke but then it's just regular dude talkin tones. Love it man
"Who am I going to build amps for? Who am I going to build amps for now?" LOL!!!
This company literally cannot make a bad pedal. Welcome back!🤙
And this is why I have both Fulltone and Electro harmonix pedals both completely genius and legendary
So glad your back, Mike!
That’s a cool Tele. Hopefully Fulltone pedals will still be reasonably priced. How many “boutique” overdrive pedals could you get for 120 dollars new (ocd). Yeah they were expensive compared to a SD1 but about the same price as a Ibanez or Maxxon Tube Screamer.
That Eighties Rack Chorus is one of the coolest modern-ish pieces of gear around but I love 80s and chorus.
Does Supa Trem 2 have any form of tap tempo/MIDI sync?
it has an external tap tempo jack
Fuller is a genius. He changed the industry.
Hope, You 2 Guys, will COLLABORATE on 'something', akin, to The PALMER SUPREME SOAKER, With Awesome TONE QUALITY, but Hopefully in a More Affordable - under a $1,000 Range... , if Possible. And, Please Continue The Blue MINI DEJA-VIBE FOOT CONTROLLABLE PEDAL. I was about to Buy one, when Fulltone,s Left The Building, Temporarily, so to speak. I bought the Keeley DARK SIDE, instead, and I'll use it, but The FULLTONE I know is the One I want... , Thanks for Bringing FULLTONE BACK!!!!
I am in the market for a Fulltone bass drive if they are bringing that back. 😏
Awesome just hope Jackson Audio will make amps again!!!
oh yeah, we're so back!
Love the style of this video, very informative and Mike seems like such a nice guy
He would use a clip on...
Thank you Sweetwater for carrying Fulltone. I’ll always support Sweetwater and Mike Fuller.
He didn't let him finish the Trower story :(
Interviewer is dead inside, even chat gpt has more emotion.
The man makes great quality pedals with brilliant design decisions with even the most seemingly insignificant parts… but it’s so obvious he knows it. He’s trying harder these days to cover up his narcissism, but he still can’t help himself from patting himself on the back every 10 seconds. If he’s gonna be the face of his company, he needs to learn from Joel Korte.
This is the first interview ive ever heard with him so maybe im missing context, but he didnt come across as arrogant to me. Seems like a chill guy whose enthusiastic about making and designing pedals.
you would be too, if you had ever accomplished anything tangible in life.
@@rickw5024 I’ve been a doctor for over a decade. What “tangible” thing have you accomplished?
Glad he's back. They never should have cancelled him for speaking the truth about those rioters. We are not a lawless country, no matter how mad you may be at the actions of some bad actors. The man has a right to express his opinion and I support him.
Mike fuller sucks, i got a chinese ocd clone. Same tones, no money in his pocket
Nothing wrong with owning a FoolTone.
Let’s see if you have a sense of humor 😂
Same tones? What an indictment of your hearing.
If your hearing is as bad as the woke ideology you cling so vociferously to, then you’re absolutely deaf.
If it wasn't for Mike fuller your Chinese pedal wouldn't exist. For the most part (not every instance) the Chinese only copy other tech. If you can't afford his pedals, I totally get it, buy what you can afford and enjoy it
However will the Fulltone Legacy of curmudgeonly customer service, delusions of persecution, and micro-aggressions be preserved???
Good pedals.
Micro-aggressions? LOL.
@@michaelrains64295I think of the South Park episode or whatever i heard that from.
I cry every time.
You spelled "peaceful rioter" wrong in your name bro.
Boo Mike fuller
Because…?
@@michaelrains64295 feelings.🤣🤣
Triggered! Ha!
Time to move out of mom’s basement and grow a set.
Hopefully this new reiteration will have a more professional and positive vibe.
give it time....lol
There's a pile of fulltone pedals in a landfill rotting where they belong because I threw mine all in the trash. Mike doesn't deserve a second chance.
Why?
Second chance at what - sharing your opinion on everything?
I seriously doubt that you would toss all your pedals in a garbage heap. Come on! No one believes that.
Honestly, between Sweetwater's decision to run with Fulltone and to give Mason (Vertex Effects) a platform, I've lost a lot of respect for you guys.
