Items (still) made in the U.S.A.

Items still made in the U.S.A. are now the exception.Some of us feel much better buying these items and feel that the best way to make an impact on our quality of living as well as environmetal issues, is to buy local whenever possible.Supporting workers and unions is as AMERICAN as your sick crippled grandparents having insurance and a pension. Oh yeah I guess , apple pie too.

Fulltone Custom Effects

donsevere submitted 1 year ago | tags: guitar + effects + vintage + mike + fuller + wah + distortion

Fulltone was founded in 1991 by me (Michael Fuller) a Session Guitarist, Composer, Performer, Electronic Tinkerer featured in Guitar Player Magazine and winning first place in their "Ultimate Guitarist Competition" Blues category. Fulltone pedals were born out of a love for music, tone, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, etc. Early on I developed a love for fine vintage pedals, and my frustration at the inconsistencies and the often fragile nature of old gear drove me to start Fulltone. Rich, Fat-sounding TONE TOOLS with a reliable build quality is the goal. Fulltone effects carry a 5 year Warranty and are built for (and by) musicians. All Fulltone pedals are 100% handmade by us at our shop in Southern California using full-sized top-notch components. In the Choralflange, a rather complex pedal as analog designs go, there are NO miniature surface mount chips, capacitors, or resistors. I have our wire custom-made, and it's 22 gauge copper stranded with no tin-coating, so it stays flexible over the years without breaking. You might not know or care about components, but you'll certainly hear the FAT, Clean, Warm results. And I practice the same philosophy on all my other pedals. Overkill? Maybe. But this is something you'll keep the rest of your playing days. It's actually amazing that we offer our pedals at comparable prices to other brands that you think are Boo-teek.

MPC Computers

I believe this is the only U.S. computer manfacturer left. I'm not sure how long they'll be able to hold on with their competitors outsourcing manufacturing to China. We'll see. They make laptops, desktops and servers. I own one of these machines and besides the ddddd key being a bit sticky it is the best computer I've owned. MPC is based in Nampa, Idaho.

White's and Hawthornes. The finest boots in the world. The company started in Virgina and made boots during the Civil War, relocated to St. Maries, Idaho and finally settled in Spokane, Washington where the boots are still made.

donsevere submitted 1 year ago | tags: union + independent + labor + usa + america + local

Union made clothing.This gets an honorary inclusion since they do (in additio to other places) manufacture in the U.S. and most notably, they are UNION made. Bienestar International manufactures union-made footwear & casual clothing under the brand name No Sweat™. Our gear is produced by independent trade union members in the US, Canada, and the developing world. We believe that the only viable response to globalization is a global labor movement. No Sweat defines the market for goods that support independent trade unions - the only historically proven solution to sweatshops. We market direct to consumers, relying primarily on internet sales for distribution. We provide a competitive product to you and a living wage to our workers. How? By not advertising. We rely on you to help us spread the word! To see how, go to Globalize THIS. It’s our world. Let’s change it.
