Announcement: Fortin – Randall – Metallica & more

[FortinAmps]

Kirk only used the Fortin Randall and Dual Recto tonight. Sounded awesome!!

Hey Mike,

this is awesome news! I saw just tonight about Kirk Hammett using one of your amps. Great too about your involvement with revitalising Randall. I guess they could possibly be a vehicle for your talent to reach more musicians around the world, with your flagship company being the "booteek-y" end? Just an idea I made up on the spot...(?)

Anyways thanks very much for sharing this with all, congratulations and all the best for continuing to make great amps

Thank! It's a great opportunity for me to work on a larger scale with a different factories in North America and Asia. Like I said before, the guys that I'm working with at Randall are awesome! It totally feels right. Their main objective is making quality amps. They are giving us a lot of leash so to speak on everything. There will be no holding back design-wise, just full on. It's going to be a lot of fun !!!

There is definitely something special in that amp. I consider myself super lucky to own 2 of teh best amps out there but mostly because I have found my grail tone between the 2 of them.

Thanks brother, glad you are digging the new addition. Wait until I make those other changes to your pumpkin after I clear out my schedule. Lot of new changes since I did that one for you

The thought of an all tube Lynch/Fortin colaboration.... ooooooooooohhhhhhh yes!!! Maybe in the future???

Being a Lynch fan, that would be awesome but he is already in the hands of a talented designer atm.

Oooohhhh, YEAAAHHH-HAH!!!!!!!!

I sense that Mustaine will show up shortly

The thought of an all tube Lynch/Fortin colaboration.... ooooooooooohhhhhhh yes!!! Maybe in the future???

Mike does not need Lynch for that type of project and hope Mike stays well away from Lynch.............................

I've got my fingerless gloves all ready for him to sign if and when I meet him

Seriously, I am a fan.

Big congrats to Mike and Kirk!

Now we know that the next album will sound FUCKING awesome guitar wise.

Thanks Ola! If I make it to NAMM this year, beer and something deep fried, my treat!

Cheers,
Mike

First and foremost, congratulations on your deal with Randall.

I second the notion that the MTS line could use some more development... so I guess the MTS peope can get ready to dump the KH1,2, and 3 ad scrap the "signature" amp altogether?

I am not sure about my involvement on any MTS stuff. Of course if they want me to contribute, I'd be happy to do so.

Cheers,
Mike

Secondly, the MTS line needs help. A 'Fortin RM100' would be tough to beat! I'm really hoping that since they were bright enough to snag someone as talented as you that the people at Randall will be smart enough to use your talents to support something that has so much potential. Good luck in your future endeavor.

Well Nick.....I have been trying to catch up to Kirk for years. And since he told me about Mikes Amps....I got to check out this board and its very interesting.

 

[Motorpud]

Well Nick.....

Maybe you can get your own Fortin sig one day MegaDave now since Kirk has one. Maybe they'll build you a special microphone you can sing in that doesn't make you sound like you're taking a dump

I will take that into consideration. Always good to hear feedback from the fans. But yes....want to get a new amp and this place seems to be the place for all the hot amps.

You know what man, wishing you all the best, but I'm gonna stop posting here. I really like to get back to fans and talk to other people about gear, but it's kind of annoying when people can't take it seriously and try to turn me into a joke. James doesn't post here, and I spoke with Dave the other day and he doesn't really have the time or desire to post on forums.

Mike, thanks for help with the rockin' amp! We'll be in touch soon

We've already been tipped off that youre not the real deal

Later faux Kirk.

 

[angelspade]

BIG congrats!!! Can we get ANY details on what you are working on for James?

Not at this time. As soon as something is solid and I get the ok to release info, I will.
Cheers,
Mike

Fair enough Mike...Thank you for the response. I have always felt Hetfield had good taste in tone...I'm really looking forward to seeing (and hearing) what the two of you come up with together!!! Again...Congrats!!!
