I’m always curious about new gear, so I’d wanna try the hexdrive and maybe the new ep out of curiosity (probably won’t care for either), but honesty have yet to try a single Fortin product that I feel is anything great and I’ve tried the Natas, Meshuggah, and owned a Grind, 33, Fuzz and Zuul. I’ve not tried his modded Marshall’s, but owned a few Gower’s and am guessing they’d be similar in toneMr. Willy":3b6ca1yg said:

As a person with 3 Wizards - (down from 4 - just sold one)..... I love them all. That being said, after playing an older model Larry Dino I would take a new Larry Dino over any of them. The cost isn't an issue. I just can't deal with an unknown, years-long wait.
Also, how would you describe its tone and how it would compare to something like the Wizards?

Warhead78 and Flavatrocious here on RT are local to me. We had a mini ampfest last month. Warhead78 owns the Larry and a Hermannson. I was able to get the Fortin dialed in similar (not quite exact, but close) to the Larry actually, but it lacked the balls of the Larry. The Larry had the balls/punch of the Wizards, super tight and percussive and aggressive. More saturated than the Wizards and the slightest bit of compression. The overall voicing was more in line with the tones I go for. It's an older Dino not sure the model number.

No. Definitely Fartin.
From Larry’s Facebook post 9-16-2018:
“And now for once I'll be very courageously, because now I even show you some very detailled photos of the inside, very detailled photos of the circuitry of my new flag ship DINO 962Photos so detailled, that you even can read the color codes of the resistors, the values of the foil capacitors and that you can track almost every wire from the eyelet boards to the pots, tubes, switches, aso. And I show it not only to you enthusiasts, gear heads and technical interested people all over the world, but I show it also to YOU amp designers AND to all those, which are hyped as "master(s) of high gain", but which rather have to be titled as "master(s) of plagiarism"
No I don't speak about reputable people like Mike Soldano, Steve Fryette, Reinhold Bogner, Peter Diezel, Rick Saint Pierre, Mark Cameron aso, just to mention a few – no, I'm not speaking about those, which do have their own ideas, which have done their own R&D and which haven't to look into the circuit designs of others for creating awesome sounding amplifiers by their own. To whom/which this text is concerned will recognize it instantly by himself/themselves 8-| Now go and download these photos, make it big & bigger, to figure out all details and also my circuitry secrets – nonetheless you won't be able, to plagiarize anything, what's sounding close to a Larry and no, it's not the missing Mojo (Mojo doesn't sound, this is a rumor), but the absence of real own ideas
You've already failed in the past – and you'd fail in future again & again
But now enough of the rant! Here we go:

If you maybe can't recognize enough details on these photos, simply drop me an email and I'd send you more photos of HiQ. You haven't to order an amp from me once again, so you'd save money this time
But believe me, there's much more required, plagiarizing a Larry amp (or this amp partially) successfully and convincingly, than only photos, or the amp itself, to re-engineer it completely
You've already failed in the past – and you'd fail in future again & again

Clips are clips. Some, of known shit amps sound great. Others, of killer amps sound like shit. I trust the ears of guys that own them, and never sell them. I believe mhenson. I’ve trusted guy’s opinions and they’ve always been right. If I trusted clips I’d have never bought an SLO, C+, Wizard...etc.splatter":qe3s9znw said:I went and looked up larry amps on youtube ..........Can't understand why anyone would rip that off .

Is the Fortin a calimod? Because that's just a jose/cameron kind of circuit. My point being if Larry is saying Fortin ripped him to make the cali, then Larry would have had to ripped the Jose circuit.
I think it's likely Larry is "generally" saying Fortin has no original circuit designs, which would probably be true based on all the Fortin schematics I have.
If that's who he's even talking about.
