Fulton-Webb

Fulton-Webb Amplifiers -- based in Austin, TX -- may be a relatively small operation, but their amps are in high demand from guitarists all over the world. As Bill Webb can attest to, shipping a hand-built amplifier to Australia is not without it's headaches and pitfalls. Who'd a thunk it?  

While Bill Webb was too classy to use some of Crosstalk's Britton Wetherald's favorite terms to describe amp modeling, he did weigh in on the subject. Bill notes that some tone tweakers are able to get amazing tones through modeling amps, but as you can probably tell from the amps he builds, he's a tube guy.  

Bill Webb from Fulton-Webb Amplifiers shows us a few more Fulton-Webb models. Each is inspired by some of the more notable classic amps with features thrown in to expand versatility manifold.  

Currently, the Scion car company is running some commercials about how one small tweak makes a major difference. Perhaps they should have consulted with Bill Webb, whose tweaking on a Fender Blackface Super Reverb style circuit turned a classic electric guitar amp into a great acoustic amp.  

Bill Webb of Fulton-Webb Amplification shows us one of the pedals they produce -- the Textosterone. It produces tones from creamy drive to fuzz and was also the only pedal that Fulton-Webb hadn't completely sold out of at the time of this interview. Sounds like a nice problem to have.  

Fulton-Webb Amplifiers Deluxe 36 uses a simple tweed circuit design to its advantage. It makes your guitar sound like your guitar, not your amp.
