ADG/Filling partnership adds another pedal line

Audio Distribution Group and Filling Distribution have added another new brand to their ongoing distribution alliance, in the form of Fulltone Pedals.

Founded in 1991 by session guitarist, composer, performer and electronics engineer Michael Fuller, the idea of Fulltone pedals was to create vintage-sounding pedals that were sturdier and more reliable than their originals.

The firm designs and manufactures components such as the Fulltone 3PDT (the world’s only super-duty Triple Pole Double Throw footswitch), custom potentiometers and even its own 22 gauge copper stranded wire with no tin-coating. All Fulltone pedals, from the best selling OCD to the high-end custom shop products, are hand-built and tested by Fulltone at its factory in Southern California.

The deal covers the UK, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and Switzerland.

Julien Carlier, founder of Filling Distribution, said: “After many years spent developing Fulltone in France, we are thrilled and feel honoured that Michael Fuller decided to trust and appoint us as their new distributor for these additional territories. This will help to develop further one of the best vintage effect brands in the UK, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Switzerland.”

ADG and Filling Distribution announced a strategic distribution alliance in April 2016 and are responsible for brands across several European territories including EarthQuaker Devices, Maxon, Two notes Audio Engineering, Emma Electronic and Dynaudio PRO to name some.
