[psychodave]

I hope this guy in Ukraine doesn’t back down.

[RaceU4her]

sounds just like a fortin

 

[Techdeth]

It’s named after an amp that does not exist

 

[tonedover]

Fortin is such a putz. He’s not even a good businessman.

Why is the electric guitar / amp / pedal world so full of dime-a-dozen egomaniacs?

 

[Strandberg Junkie]

It's a U.S. trademark and the overseas maker doesn't sell direct to the U.S.

Wonder what bus bench lawyer he's using for this one.

 

[Rex Rocker]

LOL @ the pedal demo.

But yeah, fuck Fortin, LOL.

 

[Exo-metal]

You can't say bomb on a plane.

 

[Bram576]

The guy who steals all of his designs getting mad at someone for using the same name. Oh, the irony. What a dipshit.

 

[rsm]

Guess I missed the drama about Mike Fortin?

At one time many years ago, I considered a NATAS when they were first released, among others, and got an Engl.

 

[Dan Gleesak]

Meshuggah should use one on their next album

Well, if anyone has experience in exploitation of intellectual property, he's the foremost expert in the industry. I'd agreed that Fortin could identify it if he saw it.

The pedal maker should sue Fortin since his pedal came first

Fortin products, every single one, is a direct rip off of other known circuits.
Which is why he’s bought up many original Jose’s, Larry amps, MetalHead, Steavens etc….his Zuul Gate is a direct copy of the noise gate on the Marshall KK 800.
