    Mark Hoppus, Jason Isbell, and many other musicians are boycotting Fulltone pedals after the company’s founder showed his whole ass on social media:

    ”What is this like night 4 of looting with 100% impunity. The p—- Mayor and Governor don’t give a s— about small businesses, and it’s never been more clear,” he wrote in a since-deleted post, adding a comment, “Ahh I feel better, and flushed out some prissy boys who were raised to pee sitting down. Now I’ll delete.”

    After a Fullton user complained to the company’s email address, Fuller himself responded with an equally hostile tone as his original post. “I am begging you to sell your pedals because you actually don’t deserve them,” a screenshot of the email posted to a fanpage reads. “You are actually so racist that you believe the Good people who are protesting are the same as the Organized gang banger criminals who are looting ‘storefronts.’ Those ‘storefronts’ are good hardworking people’s lives and livelihoods. I’m fact if I see you with a Fulltone pedal I will tag it and break into your house and loot it from you, because it’s my free expression to do so… right?”

    This seems like a super weird, convoluted situation. It looks like the owner did end up giving an apology which was deleted from Facebook... weird stuff.

    This did lead me to get some information that the owner of JHS is associated with a very homophobic church.

    Pretty disappointing to learn this stuff about the owners/founders of companies you have supported and recommended.

    Skiba is very closely associated with known neo nazis, has used nazi imagery for his own promotion, posts white supremacist literature often - all under the premise that it’s “educational”. He also vehemently defended Asia Argento after she had a sexual relationship with a minor she had worked with, because she was his friend.

    What an interesting brand alignment move. Can't wait to see how it pans out for them.
