Found this at a pawn shop that I pop into every now and then. They had $40 on it, the guy said he can do $30 out the door. I was not familiar with these old ones. At first, I thought it was a kit pedal, until I flipped it over and saw Mike Fuller's signature and dated 1/96. "Ok", I thought, "This could be cool".
The tone and overdrive pots are a little scratchy. I'll hit them all with cleaner later when I open it up. I'm liking the sound of this pedal, even though it seems a tad on the darker side. A little boosted treble with an eq pedal takes care of that. I've been playing through a DS-1 a lot the past few days, maybe my ears are used to hearing a little more highs. Or maybe the Fulltone is just a darker pedal.
I've done a little research on these since I got home. The oldest 4 knob I see mentioned on any forums or sites is 2/96. I'd like to take the Velcro off and see if there's more numbers to the serial number, but I'm afraid that'll ruin the sticker.
I'll try to get a video posted this weekend.
