I run Fredric Effects, and would love another German dealer.

Have a look at the website. We do this sort of thing:

I do sales and artist relations for Moollon.

We have 22 handwired pedals in production and half a dozen with a MAP under USD200. Tube Amp Doctor is presently the only dealer in the EU selling Moollon pedals (online), although orders are a tad infrequent. All is takes to become a Moollon pedal dealer is to order a minimum of USD1000 of gear per order, and I'd be more than happy to forward you our pedal pricelist for dealers.


______________________________________________

And just in case you're interested...

Despite the fact that we've sold over a dozen handmade Moollon guitars and basses directly to musicians in Europe (Germany:3, France:2, Switzerland:5, Benelux:3, Turkey:4) over the past year, no dealers in Europe have yet inquired to share the profit selling Moollon gear to local musicians, but we're still open to inquiries. Played by Michael Thompson, Carlitos Del Puerto (Bruce Springsteen/Chick Corea), Bill Bell (Jason Mraz), David Finke (George Michael), Conrad Korsch (Rod Stewart), Marcus Wolf (David Garrett) and dozens of others, including Tim Lefebvre (Tedeschi/Trucks, Rudder, SNL Band, Chris Botti, etc.), who is also a really nice guy and stellar guest player on so many tunes...like this one.

Built to Pre-CBS specifications, most Moollon guitars and basses (all single builds by Moollon president Young Joon Park) have a MAP of under USD2000 and have features difficult to find on modern "recreations" vintage models. For example, in addition to standard dimensions, the "1960s-style" Moollon P-Classic (presently our best seller thanks in part to Tim Lefebvre) has stuff you'd normally find on Custom Shop models and outsource nothing.

• 2-piece alder body
• Makassar ebony fretboard on one-piece quartersawn maple neck. Makassar ebony selected for its similar projection qualities to Brazilian rosewood.
• Pre-CBS-spec high density (higher zinc content) custom alloy Moollon tuners. Yes, we melted down vintage Fender tuner pieces to figure out the "recipe" ;)
• Traditional steel bridge and saddles
• Neck profile hand-shaped to be closest to Young Joon's vintage '58
• Handwound pickups rated at 10.5k ohms, design based on '59 and '60 Precisions Basses.
• 20 ultra-thin layers of nitrocellulose lacquer with 2-day drying periods between coats.

OH HAY! I'm not sure if we're covered in Germany at the moment, but please send us an email through
www.dwarfcraft.com

and we will figure it out! There's been a few businesses bought and sold in Germany that we've dealt with in the past, and I'm not sure who has an exclusivity agreement. My dear wife keeps track of all the hard facts and papers, I destroy my mental health developing new pedals and producing the old ones.
