Ampfest 2010.....Featuring the NATAS :)

[lolzgreg]

First off, anyone who is complaining about clips and videos can suck my cock. Just like it's been said about fifty times before, none of them really do enough justice to the amp. Second off I recorded clips with a real deal interface and a microphone when we were at the ampfest last year, but the horrible electricity and the necessity of 27 faraday cages just to keep guitar pickups from getting some nasty ass buzzing prevented me from doing it again. There's no reason to make serious judgments on recordings that were done in less than ideal circumstances.

There will be some official Fortin Amps recordings come around Christmas time. Then, people can make some real judgments about the amplifier in several musical contexts. I am convinced that Mike Fortin makes some of the best amplifiers on earth, and you're going to hear recordings supporting it sooner than later.

The Natas isn't even 100% completed yet, and it STILL annihilated just about everything in the room for metal music, and DEWD, get your facts straight before you start shit talking like a pre-teen. Gary (thegame) is the one who inspired Mike to take on the Natas design, so the damn thing wouldn't exist if it weren't for him.

This isn't the high school cafeteria, stop the drama. If Fortinfest was that important to you, you should have fucking flown out on a plane or took the drive to make it there.

Just to be clear about what I said about the quality of the clips from the first ampfest, I was talking about the room and the battles you had to go through in order to get them and It was not how they were recorded
I'm pretty sure that you know that but someone reading it might not!
We tried our best last time and that studio is not the place to do clips IMHO. Even with your power conditioner we were still getting feedback and noise from everyones guitar pickups. I know I was getting it from mine and I NEVER get that live or at home with any of my amps!


anyway I had a blast at the fest and video or no video/clips there will be plenty of demos comming soon!!

None of that was directed at anyone who was at the amp fest, especially not you, Ralphie.

Some people just say the most retarded things.

Or just google his name to see he is a washed up miserable hack that lives at home with his mom and is out of work on disability due to lifting too many small school garbage cans as a janitor prior to making a false claim that he can't work anymore.
He is a useless crap bag that tries real hard to cop Hendrix licks and tell everyone how great he is and how bad everyone sucks.
But the reality of it is that he is the definition of a sucky human being that can barely even play the stuff he considers great.
I have heard dozens of his clips over the years and each and every one has left me trying to find one of those elementary school, classroom garbage cans he hurt his pussy ass with to puke in.
I actually feel bad for his mother.
Just think, she has to look at his ugly ass every day and listen to his shitty guitar playing.
With any luck, she is deaf in her old age.
Hell, he's almost 60, maybe he's deaf?
He's like one of those rejects you see on the American Idol tryouts that really thinks they are great and can sing.
Put it into guitar context, and there you have

I had fun and it was actually the first ampfest Ive been to. You all seemed like a great bunch of dudes and I felt welcome to be there, thanks for that. Brandon and I just happened to notice the post and decided to swing by kind of last minute. I didnt even realize that it was mostly a Fortin ampfest until I got there. I thought it was gonna be a bunch of guys bringing there own personal stuff. Either way it was cool and I was happy to meet some other players and fellow gear whores of NY. We had no idea that there was a problem with a previous ampfest and videos being taken. Anyway its all good , lets not let a couple guys who werent even there turn this into a pissing match.

 

[stephen sawall]

What do the 6irth and 6rind knobs do on the NATAS ?

Girth & Grind

Having not been there I would guess 6irth for tuning the thump hitting your chest while the 6rind would be a upper presence control.

That is kind of what I was thinking.

What do the 6irth and 6rind knobs do on the NATAS ?

Wassup Stephen?!

I believe they act like a buffer for the treble and bass. Almost like a contour switch but I could be wrong. Im sure when Mike get's back from vacation he can tell you or maybe gary(thegame) can!

Thanks ....

Just thinking about selling a bunch of stuff I do not use much anymore. I was wishing this thread would make want a Meathead or Natas. I now want both and a Cali .....

 

[nitrous2400]

This forum really is a pile of dumb metal Cocktards. Planned a month in advance, with the guy dragging his amps from Canada to LI, nobody thinks to maybe document some sounds?

Ironically I was 15 minutes away and if asked would have documented the highlights, AND not posted anything unless it was cool with all parties.

Dumb metal AssTards

Sup Carl,

I'm in before you get banned from this moniker and the Drillmarko one.

I did not want to document this ampfest because of the backlash we took from the last one. some people were unhappy with the quality of the clips from the last ampfest and we also had another manufacturer pissed off at us because he felt that his amp wasn't represented well in the clips. We decided at the last minute not to do clips because it was more trouble then it was worth. To add more to the story this is also the prototype for the NATAS and the final amp may or may not sound different, so I didn't see the need to document the prototype.

With that said, Brandon, don't take it personally man. We loved having you there and thanks for even taking the time to post the videos!! If someon wants to judge a possible purchase based on a youtube video that was done in a non controlled environment then I don't know what to say. There will be plenty of clips to come.

~R~

Thanks Ralphie I had a great time, I just don't feel like dealing with drama. I figured it would be a nice idea to grab some video for those that were interested in going but couldn't attend just to give them a rough idea of the amp. I did not expect to make people butthurt over the video being that it was what it was(obviously amateur video/audio) Plus like mike said its a "prototype" so theres no guarantee it'll sound the same when it hits the market anyway.

Ah Digital Yambag...........I miss that one

On a side note there were many people close that did not make it for one reason or another but never do. I think Brandon and the4lastone can tell others what they thought since they are not part of the same crew if you are looking for another opinion as well as how they were treated, I thought it was very cool that others showed up and I think they had a good time. I don't think Brandon remembered what happened last time when Greg worked real hard to make clips and it sort of blew up in everyone's faces. No doubt there is huge interest in the Natas for multiple sides and I don't blame people for whipping recorders out.

Clips are coming and when I get my Natas anyone is welcome to check it out along with my Cali mod.

Man these meetings generate some heat

Yeah scott it was really fun I'm lucky Chris (the4thlast1) let me know about it he's the one that saw the meet as a sticky. I really only read on this forum since I'm on HC and a bunch of other forums so it's good to finally get to hang with guys from both boards and meet other local guys into gear.

So yeah next time theres a meet if you don't attend ...

Sorry you get nothing

It's hilarious what a dick kisser the guy is really. He just pops up, starts some shit, tries to talk shit to Kage or calls people Digital yambag and just instantly gets banned Same thing over and over again. Some people have nothing better to do though I guess

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that, if anyone finds themselves in MI (why would they? ) feel free to give me a shout and stop by and check out the Meathead

 

[FIREBALL]

any reports from amp fest about natas youall

 

[ke2]

-Nobody with their head screwed on right, believes that a video clip represents the amp.

-Every amp mfg has to know and accept there will be someone that makes the amp sound bad in front of people.

-Except for the personal thing about showing someone`s face on the web without asking, nobody needs to ask permission for anything.
If I want to get a Marshall, tweak it like an idiot, and post endless clips on the web that everyone will hate, it`s in my right to do so. When I gave away my money, the amp was mine.

-I`m sure Mr. Fortin will be able to provide real clips of the amps when it`s finished.

-On the "scaring potential customers away"-thing: Everybody knows that ALL the factors matter. If I hear a wonderful clip of an amp made with an LP and a Greenback cab, and complain it doesn`t at all sound like the clip, with a Strat and a V30 cab, I`M the idiot.

-Nobody with their head screwed on right believes that a video clip on youtube represents an amp

-Everyone hear things differently. Someone raves over a certain amp, others are lukewarm, others again hate it.

If I could afford a Fortin, I`d get one because of word of mouth. I`ve had to make do with the "lower end" of tube heads in my days of playing, and I`ve done okay. I`m sure that a high-end amp like that, I`d shine after I got to tweak it to my playing, my guitars, my cab

Wrong phone # It's 631 587-0757 , but you knew that, right? You got any clips posted? I'll go clip for clip with you any time. Just say the word.
I think you're a pussy though and you won't take me up on it. I agree DARE is a dirty sounding room. I played there enough to know. Even the bass amps were humming and buzzing. Just offering my services, Jack. I would have got decent clips.


How long you playing? Maybe 5 years? You need to get your own style and a vibrato. It takes time though. In the meantime you sound like every other 12 year old in GC on a sat afternoon. Since you got my addy, feel free to to let me know if you want to demo decent amps (PT100, SLO, Bludotone) without the dirty power hangups, and oh, I'm available for lessons as well. For you, $50 a half hour. Clip for clip any time. I'll start the throwdown right now bitch. What do you got? Oh, and where are the Hendrix riffs I'm trying to play? LOL

So what was everybody's favorite cab/speaker combination with the Fortin amps? Particularly with the Meathead.

 

[Gainzilla]

This forum really is a pile of dumb metal Cocktards. Planned a month in advance, with the guy dragging his amps from Canada to LI, nobody thinks to maybe document some sounds?
Ironically I was 15 minutes away and if asked would have documented the highlights, AND not posted anything unless it was cool with all parties.


Dumb metal AssTards

LOL!!!!! You Were invited but instead, all you made were excuses. You were more than welcomed to show up with your guitar and back up your mouth and your playing but all you did was say that Fortin Amps were shit and you were above playing at a shithole like dare with RT metal hacks. Do I really have to post your emails?

Fear and truth beats you every time janitor... You made threats for 2 years when I was gigging on LI 2x a month to come to my gigs and you NEVER showed up when you only lived 10 min away.

Your lies and BS are as old and tired as you and your playing. You talk alot of smack but you just can't back it up. Youre a legend in your own mind but the truth and reality of the situation is a far cry from what youve fooled yourself into believing.

To everyone else, Pay carl no mind. His opinions are as worthless as he is and Im not saying anything that anyone doesnt know already. The guy is in complete denial and is the biggest lying cowardly loser known throughout the online music community and that been a well known fact for years...

So what was everybody's favorite cab/speaker combination with the Fortin amps? Particularly with the Meathead.

There was a front loaded ENGL with v30s that sounded awesome with all of Mike's amps and Mike does perfer v30s. That said speakers are the end users choice as each one adds it's own color to the mix.

Why I pack 4 different cabs each loaded differently

It's because your a metal coktward twink I guess I'd rather be a metal coktward than a fucking janitor.

Hey Mr. Janitor, did they invite you to that Hendrix jam 50 years ago because they really just needed a sponge boy to wipe up the spit on stage? Or did you also have to empty all the trash bins stage side? They probably figured to ALLOW you to hack up 1 or 2 songs as long as they had a free janitor for the gig.

Yeah, My Cali sounded great with Greenbacks and with V30's. Just depends what tones you're after.

I got my amp out of the car at last this morning and what a bunch of knuckledragging metal heads.............both gains dimed, res almost dimed, master at around 2:00, switches for maximum gain and saturation, etc...................

Fucking animals
