Going to check out a New amp tonight from a new amp builder!

[tweed]

Tonight I'm going to get try the New Bones amplifier from Fortin amplification.
As the name implies the BONES amp is just that, a stripped down “bare bones” amplifier. With modern styling and a simple & intuitive front panel layout

Mike Fortin, The Designer and manufacturer of the amp used to live on Long Island but he has since moved to Canada and is now in the process of launching his amp line. Mike is an amazing guitar player and tech who knows tone and he has some serious designs comming out in the near future including a 6 channel head with 46 relays and and all out metal amp called the NATAS The guy knows his stuff and I think that you will be hearing a lot about him in the years to come!.
This is another guy I know who deserves the best because he is such a good person.

On another note I will be getting to demo the amp with 2 killer guitar player that Mike hooked me up with!! Carl Roa and Joe Nardulli. Not only do I think that you should check out his amps when they are available but I think that you should check out Carl and Joe!! Im psyched for tonight and Im going to get my ass kicked by the amp and 2 killer guitar players!!

Wow, nice "test bed" to draw design inspiration from.

Some of the clips remind me of Wizard and VHT stuff, seems very tight and focused aka VHT but has this roar that the Wizard stuff has. Not quite as compressed as other high gainers today.

Mike told me that his amps can get super saturated but remain clear and they have great not separation. IIRC he also said that it took a lot of time to get it right!!

Hopefully he will chime in soon!! It's great having him here.

What time are you headed out Bro?, we still need to hook up and go over some AF stuff...

 

[ratter]

Power section fused in pairs so you can still play if you lose a tube, that is pretty cool. digging the L/M/H switch as well, should make this amp cover some ground.

WTF is a KT100?!?!?!?!? Holy shit what would the power output be with the amp loaded with those????? Oh man that would rule if they are 88s on roids

Check this out brother.... This is Mike playing

Killer stuff, I had a few e-mails with the guy and he's very nice. \m/

BTW He's one of the few in America who own a Larry Dino 939 and a British purist, which are IMNSHO the best amps, just a lil pricey...

Sounds like a cool amp. The external bias points are a neat feature. Looking forward to your thoughts.
