FORTIN's Evil Pumpkin – Made in China?

[Wizard of Ozz]

I have no issues with where something it made or whatever if it sounds great. I've never met Fortin or bought one of his amps, and after all this stink I'm not certain of my own opinion on his brand at this point. All this drama is completely beyond me, but Mike definitely needs to be keeping a closer eye on this Zach cat because he is completely insufferable and childish. I wouldn't want my name associated with this sort of behavior.

So it would be better that I let these people attack and try to defame us on literally every forum on the internet? I don't see that as being a good thing man. Every other forum has put a stop to the nonsense but this one. These dudes are literally threatening people. How is that acceptable?

Threatening you? If I made a threat you'd know it. Go run off know to Papa Fartin. I hear he needs help dis-infecting the latest batch of Chinese pcbs and transformers direct from WuHan province PRC.

I'd suggest Lysol. Lots of Lysol. Dumb-asses.

honestly you are the problem, not Mike copying circuits. Most people hate the Fortin Army's hype, spin, and strong arm techniques. As been stated, other people have copied circuits, but class and how they deal with not only customers, but in public goes along way. You a not exactly what I would look for to represent my company. You add fuel to the fire

 

[Wizard of Ozz]

Scott, I know of other Fortin customers where Mike has lied about "Extra" gain stages, then I examine their amp, and behold it's not there.

Other instances where Fartin has LIED to people about the amps they bought from him???? Do tell. Don't leave us hanging here.

I have ol' Ozz blocked now, but yeah, he did, very clearly threaten me. I think I'm going to just stop posting in this thread. If people can't see this is made up nonsense, then they just won't see it. I have work to do, and this is just a time suck bantering with a couple morons that have nothing better to do.

I've been a longtime RT member, and I have never seen it this bad. Really, a shame.

 

[Wizard of Ozz]

I didn’t say you threaten me. You threaten engage.

"you threaten me... you threaten..." what's wrong with your Engrish now? Are posting from one of the Fartin forced labor factories that building his new amps?

Go learn some mas Inglesia y regressa amigo.

I didn’t see the death threat either??
If someone threatens to kill another member.
Report it. Instant ban. Zero questions.
I seen Larry say come over you can meet my 2 friends
Smith and Wesson.
Underlining. But not direct.
Like if I said I’m eating burritos. Bring some fresh air.
I didn’t see it as a personal ‘gonna kill you’ threat.
Again. Stop being pussies.

That's because there were none. These ass-hats don't know what to do know. They've run out of material.

Kinda like posting private/personal information on a public forum. Remember what goes around comes around Fartin Lackeys.

Stop being pussies is going to be hard for them... these two stains are life long "sub-bottoms"... it's been ingrained in them over many years.

Get a job. Move out of mom's basement. Do it now.

I’m transsexual. I go by Cindy on the weekends.

No I'm not transsexual, I'm rather transformeral.
I don't go by Sindy, but rather by solder station

Not making fun of Larry or Mike.
Seriously. Better to laugh then be pissed off.
I’ve been angry for years the things I went through and did in the military.
Sooooo much better to laugh.
Sooo solder station.... you down for 7pm Saturday?

Every other forum has put a stop to the nonsense but this one. These dudes are literally threatening people. How is that acceptable? I mean, look at this one, it's a dude with no evidence lying to our customers, saying our stuff is made in China, and it factually, is not. These guys are just making up stuff and attacking us, trying to hurt us (the exact opposite has happened actually), and I really feel it is important to set the record straight about this all being nonsense, otherwise, people believe that.

I'm sorry if that is a problem, but do you see the threads and the blatant attacks and lies man? It's horrendous.

No, the personal attacks in the threads of the last few days are not ok. You are some sort of social media professional, right? What amazes me is that you do the same to other people. In the name of Fortin, no less. You could have made a few short comments with actual facts and leave it at that. In stead, you belittle people and tried to distract from the issues brought up. Even more fuel to the shit storm. You have done the brand no good with this behaviour IMHO. And I seriously doubt those extra orders.

This is why Scott Splawn (and others) stay away from public forums. Shit show shit.

But he will answer your email or your phone call quickly and professionally.

I personally feel like Mike Fortin could probably use a different PR guy

If it is true that Mr Fortin contacted Larry as simple minded guitar enthusiast (if I read that correctly earlier) looking for a schem and then used that information to create a whole amp company with 'original designs' - then I would say that is shameful.

It is also super difficult to protect Intellectual Property (IP) rights, especially in electronic circuit design evidently. So why Larry is so upset about this now is kind of hard for me to understand knowing that your ish can be reverse engineered and you have no patents.

Why was he calling you Jennifer? I'm really hung up on this..... Are you a bro or not?

 

[Thunkful]

Victory amps are made using the process Larry has described too
China builds the PCB, chassis and transformers. Guy in the UK plugs everything together

That looks more like a computer than an amp.

 

[wIsEbLooD]

Looks like ten pounds of shit stuffed in a five pound bag.
