What ever happened to the Evil Pumpkin

[LP Freak]

This is the first positive thing I heard about the bones. My friend had one and it was terrible. He said he could get better tone by slapping his cock on a cinder block then from the bones.

I have nothing to add about the pumpkin since it was never produced…although someone on FB is selling one for $4,000.

I wasn’t impressed at all with the Bones I had

If Mike Fortin had any decent amp builds Randall wouldn't be bankrupt. They bet the farm on Fortin and all he produced was generic garbage amps. High gain muddy, generic crap. Diamond amps would be proud of the garbage he produced...

A few guys I have amp fests with played frankhouser's amp, and it is apparently fucking special. We were supposed to have an amp fest here in austin and i thought i would get to try it, but it never materialized.

@RedB4Black let's make this happen

Back around 201? we had a DFW ampfest with an OG Fortin Cali 1987x and a Ceriatone chupacabra side by side. They were virtually identical, switches and all. Ther Ceriatone sounded better. I've never understood the Fortin hype?

Big Wreck's album, Albatross, was recorded with a Bones (Ian's amp). Sounds good to me for that kind of music. You can even see it in the music video.

Yeah, the Chupa is a copy of a Fortin Jose mod. I think the Meshuggah variation on that circuit is better though. Tighter, punchier, less fizzy. Still an 800 with diode clipping, but voiced less "brown".
