FORTIN's Evil Pumpkin – Made in China?

[jimyrez]

here's my guess of the UK assembler

tell the fanbois now get 2 for 1 nasty down tunned to z - tone and with developing a virus in the process of chugging

Post in the facebook group fortin army !, you will be deleted, zapped, just like personally developing a new virus once fondling your new doomsday virus death of tone

Inter-ass-ting. Striking resemblance if I must say.

Larry, I get it, you are off your meds. Please stop. I don't mind you sending us customers but really? Might want to knock this off before you Officially make yourself a laughingstock. Why not work hard and solidify yourself as an awesome amp builder? I know you desperately need attention, but this is being pathetic.

This is disgusting and shame on you

I like a good fight.

All of this has been posted by the Fortin AR has been an attack or deflection. I am curious to know some of these answers. Where IS it made? What is being made WHERE? by WHOM? I am curious.

I will likely never buy a Fortin or a Larry, but it is suspicious that the Fortin crew has not answered (correct me if I am wrong) a SINGLE question regarding any of these things.

Again as I have said, no horse in the race, dog in the fight, etc. But these don't seem to be good business practices on the Fortin side.

Dunno.

Yep. Deflect, Distract (Look Look!! Steve K (RIP) paid Larry and never got an Amp!! Look!! Look!!) and insult. That a boy....follow the Crooked Shady Zacky playbook!

Lots of fun reading, all you need to know about Mr Fake Artist Relations is google him. Let's see...when he was with Kiesel, on their social media if anyone asked a tough question or simply criticized Carvin DELETE EM. Funny-same one sided bullshit happens on the Fortin social media...question ANYTHING and BOOM delete em.

RTers...as much as you like Mr Fortins work, gear etc...I've dealt with him and he was a super nice guy. Never had anything against him, or his products..
But...
It's just not OK on any level, to COMPLETELY CLONE someone else's unique circuit that they spent yrs on perfecting. Shady Shifty and just plain crooked.
He buys 2 amps and then starts his own company? Claiming that these designs are unique to Fortin amps? Not cool and unacceptable.

And, for any doubters what would Larry have to gain about throwing this all out there? He isn't competing in the same price range. Larry has plenty of business, as he has a 2 yr wait as it is. He's not hurting for business. He's not losing a DIME to Fortin. So, why do this? And risk all the backlash that might come?

Because it's HIS intellectual property that was stolen. That's the point...HIS CIRCUIT. NOT FORTIN.

Would any of you just stand by when you found out that your baby, creation, result of 30 yrs + of blood sweat and tears was STOLEN AND THEN SOLD UNDER SOMEONE ELSE'S NAME????????

Be honest. You'd be pissed too.

RIGHT ON

fucking despicable and low life cock sucking pawn mud dragging a well known respected rt...er's name into these threads that is DECEASED to use his name as a pawn in your arguments that have nothing to do with the thread - read the title and first post !! Be ashamed of yourself ! real great friend, far from it ! ZACK SAYS " the guy that died off "
RIP STEVE !

Aren't there a couple of modder guys on this board ripping off Friedman too?

 

[the4thlast1]

Engage757 since you work for Fortin amplification can you tell us in what country the circuit boards of the Evil Pumpkin will be populated and soldered ?

This whole time I thought the Evil Pumpkin was going to be hand wired. No wonder it cost less than the Cali.

Aren't there a couple of modder guys on this board ripping off Friedman too?

Friedman is open about his amp circuits being various Jose mods. I.e. they aren't original circuits, but rather his own selection of component types to build the circuit.
He's also open about where and who makes his amps.
Everyone can comfortably make up their mind based on open and transparent information being provided to them.

Don't know any modders selling Friedman circuits and/ or claiming them to be their design.

Yep. Big difference IMO....Fortin has been selling amps that were his designs since 2009? Except we now know they were completely lifted from 2 of Larry's designs. Not even loosely based...straight up copied.

And the Hiwatt Super-Hi Fortin made last year? Original or clone?

Good morning!

Tonight in Germany, what's been about 05:30 pm (LA) to 08:30 pm (NY) in North America I've posted this in another amp related forum:



I did it mainly by the reason, to make aware also other guitar player which maybe don't step onto this forum, that the product they maybe consider to order later then might not be that, what they've expected.
Then I went to sleep.
As I woke up and started my computer I've seen this:





Presumably the leading heads of different amp related forums are regarding helpful infos different?

Rather than ask us, if you really want this out there, would talk to the mods over there on how to get this information across without violating their rules. You may need a vendor account since you're a manufacturer and say things in a particular way.
