Up for sale is a Fortin Cali -- the arsholl -- hand wired by Mike himself. I bought this amp from a user here on Rig Talk over a decade ago and it has been in my possession ever since.
This has been well taken care of, never gigged, but i'm just not playing as much these days and I could use the cash to help get my new business going.
The one modification I made to this amp shortly after getting it was adding a line out per Mike's instructions via email. If you'd like to see the back and forth with all the details about resistors and impedance, just let me know
I've had no issues with it at all, but the tubes are probably a little bit on the "old" side. To be honest, it has probably gotten played a handful of times each year for the past couple of years, so i'm not quite sure how to gauge the tubes for remaining "life".
Here's the instruction manual that describes how the toggle switches under the knobs operate. Note: none of these knobs are push-pull.

I can make a video of me playing through the amp, but i'm not going to do it anywhere near the justice of this video...and this is what hooked me on it. Also, this IS the amp from the video:
The sale comes with the Fortin Cali Arsholl, original power cord (not pictured), and a marshall name plate if you prefer that look instead of "arsholl".
It's located in central Pennsylvania. I would prefer to not ship the amp, but if you want it we can figure it out.
For sale only (no trades please) $3500 obo
