It looks like a car from Death Race 2000 and sounds like one as well…lol
 
The problem I have is this was an amp that was supposed to be released years ago that nobody has seen. Just like that power amp. He can get the meshuggah and cali made so why are these other two products MIA?

He’ll have to come up for air from his girlfriend’s asshole and swallow the hairy caterpillar before he can answer…

Back in those days I was just a lurker, not a RT member yet, hadn’t tried that much gear yet, so just assumed they must be these holy grail level amps and then finally I got to try a Fortin Natas locally and was so confused by the hype given how cold, sterile, & hollow it sounded. I started trusting guys on the forum/internet less since then lol. Years later my friend gets a Fortin Meshuggah and wasn’t any more impressed. Haven’t tried any other Fortin amps, just their pedals

I never tried his mods or even heard about them back then. Just his amps. Hadn’t even heard of Larry yet. I did have 2 Gower mods though, which I heard were similar. Those were pretty good, but not as good as the Cameron modded Marshall’s I had at the time. It seemed like back then guys on here were maybe less willing to be honest if they didn’t like something that was hyped. Even around 2014 I remember a Natas being in the $5000’s on here. The Fortin modded Tube Screamers are the one thing Fortin’s done that I like and kept. Everything else I tried by him I didn’t think was that great

I tried a clone of the 33.
What an overhyped pedal. Its a volume and tight knob at a dumb setting. The friedman buxom boost is 5x the pedal the 33 design is.

Plus i dont like guys trying to sue little fish in the name of “cant have a history of not protecting my IP” when stated IP DOESNT EXIST AND OR WAS RIPPED OFF IN THE FIRST PLACE.

No one is confusing a synth pedal with your stupid vaporware amp, Mike. Its not a legal precident.
