I am trying to offload a couple guitars fast enough to get on the damn pre-sale! LOL!

The amp is bad ass! Mike told me the ballpark price at NAMM and glad to see it came in where he said.

Will it be in black too?

Man, for us Canadian's that's $4300 + shipping and customs/taxes, it could be $5000 by the time it gets to your door.
I think I'm out

Ran out of organs to sell! GLWS!

According to the FB group only white this run BUT there was a black one was also at NAMM. I am sure they''ll offer more color at a point.

LOL! Thanks man! Believe me there are a few things I would have done differently last year had I known this was coming. Hopefully Mike will produce enough of these as well that they don't go for $5500+ resale.

Deleted. Answered my own question

WANT
I'm adding up some gear right to decide if I should do a flash sale to fund this. I wind up using my Kemper 90% of the time anyway so maybe I could let go of some things....

They should give you a discount for that video, it sounds killer! Way better than RC wanking around.

LOL! Thanks man. I'd be happy to get one for a week to demo!

I will own one though for sure.

Anyone need an extra kidney?

I think this may be one of those situations where I purposely don't listen

Sounds absolutely fantastic. And you have a killer right hand, like Jason.

Hey thanks man! Jason is my role model!

That is a great sounding amp all around.
I could sell my other amps if that things feels like it sounds

Man I’m looking at a few pieces of my gear under a much different filter than I was Monday!

I was kinda indifferent about Meshuggah (not that it sounds bad just not my kinda of tone) but this one checks all the boxes. I cant grab one but I'm looking forward to seeing vids once people start receiving them.

Congrats on the vid add, Jer!

Uhhhhh, why does that sound so bad ass? Dayum ...

 

[chris lykins]

Jer, whats the feel of the amp like in the room?

Yeah man, me either yet. I am gonna try and do some "sweet talking'" that least see if I can demo the prototype after Jason gets it. I can only assume he'll be the first and then maybe Ola.

I know... I am trying to decide what gear I can live without at the moment...

So I only got to play it at NAMM, BUT... as you can see in the vid, I have no poker face. I LOVED it. You can tell when I am playing that I am enjoying the hell out of it. People keep saying they hope they react the same way to their Blade pedals as I did when Jason first kicked it on.

The amp is no joke. It was the first time I got to play any of the actual Fortin stuff and I couldn't have been more impressed. It felt as good as the "Fortin Hype" I have seen over the years. The Evil Pumpkin was equally bad ass but I didn't get as much time with it.

You all know, I would never advocate spending this much money on an amp if I wouldn't actually spend it myself, and I'd recommend it all day. I talk of Friedman amps, I bought one new. I talk up KSR... I had a new one built. I'll put my money where my mouth is... eventually when my wife will let me! LOL!

You need to grab one so I can live vicariously through you. One day I will have the cash to pull the trigger on a Fortin when they release a model but not anytime soon. I think my next amp purchase is going to be a JJ jr. Thankfully there is enough time until its released to let the smoke clear with my wife after buying an Orthos and an Epi Les Paul.
