Boss PW-3

Boss Pw-3 Wah Guitar Effects Pedal

The all-analog PW-3 from Boss has a rugged, space-saving design that conserves precious real estate on your pedalboard. The PW-3’s Rich mode has a uniquely full wah voice that retains the low-end definition and fullness lost with typical wah circuits. For a more traditional tone, just flip the rear-panel switch to Vintage mode for that classic wah vibe. The PW-3 strikes a good balance between practicality and playability. Its die-cast aluminum chassis is solid and substantial underfoot, with long, smooth & responsive pedal action.

Mu-FX

Aaron Newman and Mike Beigel founded Musitronics and launched the popular Mu-Tron pedal series in 1972. In 1976-1977 musicians Lol Creme and Kevin Godley from 10CC developed a guitar sustainer, the Gizmotron. Musitronics became the Gizmotron manufacturer. The Gizmotron proved difficult to make and was temporamental in use. The Gizmotron used mechanical plastic parts but none of the Musitronics staff were experts in engineering plastics. For example they found that that units made during the winter wouldn't work properly in hot weather.

Fulltone

Michael Fuller started Fulltone around 1991 while working as a Session Guitarist, a Composer, Performer, and Electronic Tinkerer. People started calling him asking for his effects pedals after he was featured in Guitar Player Magazine as one of the winners of their "Ultimate Guitarist Competition" competition. Fulltone effects use True Bypass switching or their exclusive "Enhanced Bypass TM" (OCD V2, WahFull) with L.E.D. status indicator in all their pedals. Fuller also provided these bypass switches to other pedal makers. All Fulltone pedals were designed, hand-built & tested at their shop in Southern California.

Fulltone closed their California factory in 2022 when Fuller admitted it had become unprofitable. He planned to move to a large ranch near Nashville with a recording studio and make use of his large collection of vintage guitars.
