Fortin Demanufacture head !!!!

[7 Stringer]

Hmmmmm, so intriguing!!!!!!

Just heard of that from Dino on Coffee With Ola.....

Anybody have any info on this?

Around the 8:00 mark he talks about his old Marshall and how they copied a version of it with Mike Fortin (the original was stolen). Towards the end he mentions it again.

Anyways, very interesting......

Don't want to sift through the video, but Mike built that for him a while ago,

Awesome, I’m looking forward to it.


Here comes the 10 page shit show lol

There's no denying it's a copy of another amp so maybe it can be considered progress

Lol

Hey look, Fortin is selling the preamp he copied the circuit from

I’m the “kid” who owns the Metalhead modded Marshall Dino mentions in the video.

The Fortin modded Marshall Dino currently owns is not a copy of my amp, he had that done long before he came in contact with me.

As he mentioned in the video, I didn’t want to sell the amp. Dino asked if I would be willing to let Mike document the circuit so he could have a copy built for himself. I told him I’d help any way I could, he had Mike get a hold of me and we eventually met up so he could check out the amp.

The reason Dino wanted my particular amp documented was because it was the only other Metalhead mod he’s heard that sounded like his original head that was stolen. Both Jerry from FJA (my local tech at the time) as well as Mike confirmed that my circuit has some differences from the usual Metalhead/Elan mods and preamps. I also own an Axis Excalibur EP-1, Elan Dino preamp pedal and have even tried another Metalhead 800... none of them sound anything like this one.

That's pretty cool, sounds like you have a small piece of history there.
Would you post some gutshots or any circuit info from your amp?

Yup, but a signature Dino amp is coming, so this is big news, His Fear Factory tone’s are legendary.

I’d buy one in a heartbeat.

How cool is that!!!!!

The version coming is a copy of your amp though right? At least that is what i gathered from Dino.

Regardless, i am all in, Dino’s tones are monstrous.

 

[JerEvil]

Fuck all the hate. This amp s going to be rad. I need me this and the Evil P.

Oh yes it will!!!!!!

I will need both also.....

Yeah the Fortin bashing is getting a bit ridiculous around here. If you don't like or have any interest in his stuff then move along.

PS. I'm all about the Demanufacture head

The original plan was to build a copy of my amp for Dino. It’s been a couple years since then, I don’t have any involvement with Fortin besides meeting him to document the amp so I can’t say for certain what they have planned if/when a production model comes out.

What I can tell you is if it’s anything like mine it will rip. I’ve been lucky enough to put it up against some serious amps and have never walked away wishing I had something else.

I'm pretty sure anyone can express their opinions. Even if it happens to be about learning that the "legendary metal god amp maker" is a copycat.

I mean at this point it is actually a fact. Opinions on a copycats character will vary. We don't all have to agree or like it.

Yeah it’s getting a little silly but, Mike can always come here and defend himself if it was necessary. Rather than Zach basically coming here to confirm that the NATAS is a Larry amp clone, by poorly deflecting the question lol.

At the end of the day though, these guys aren’t hurting, and are getting lots of publicity good/bad. Also Fortin has a pretty loud blind following all over social media that will defend everything to death.

I for one like most of the Fortin products I’ve had and I will buy what I like, but it’s ridiculous on both ends of it.

I too am all about the Demanufacture head

Stay in your “safe space” then Francis.... aka the Fartin Army Facebook Group. Never leave. That way you never have to be pointing at a doll telling someone where the mean people at RT touched you.

Another Fartin Original... Original overhyped copy that will be passed off as another masterpiece. A hack is a hack. Deceptive business practices are deceptive.

Mike Demanufacture’s amps and renders them Obsolete. He is the Linchpin.

Lol. Who cares. The amps sound awesome.
