Another Fortin Pedal, This Time It’s NATAS

[Paul Gilbert]

“A staggering feat of engineering” - Mike Fortin himself as he rips off the girth/grind circuits from another amp builder.

I'm sure this sounds good but man does Fortin's marketing make me laugh

 

[technomancer]

Meh. Options are good but anybody that drops $300 on a distortion pedal needs their head examined

That said there is a generation of guys that think pedals sound like amps that will eat this up, so more power to Mike for making cash with minimal effort.

Also epic lolz at Ola using the Fortin power amp that was never actually released for his demo.

I may need my head examined for still not figuring out how a $300 pedal can sound like a $4000 amp.

How many times we gonna modify a DS-1 guys, come on now.

That answer is simple, it doesn't

I still have a bit of an obsession with getting a ̶L̶a̶r̶r̶y̶ ̶D̶i̶n̶o̶ NATAS type deal, so I kind of like this. Especially being US made. But yeah... you're not wrong.

I still kick myself for not getting a Thrasher or Satan when they were under $2K or so new.

 

[Jon Pearson]

I can't help but get the feeling that Fortin would have ended up like Krank if not for superior marketing plan. From the VERY limited experience I have with Fortins and Kranks, the latter definitely sounded better, surface mount parts aside.

 

[MASS DEFECT]

Can you use this as a preamp pedal? I mean, plug into a clean effects loop return?

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

So it's a Solar Chug pedal for $100 more?

The CHUG at least has a nice gate like the Precision Drive.

I started watching the official demo but couldn't get past the guy pronouncing it "Nay-tas". Is that how you guys pronounce it, cause I've been saying "nah-tas" for 10 years and I've never heard anyone say it differently. Also it didn't sound very good.

 

[ExMachina]

Sounds solid to me. I'm also a sucker for a a sweepable mid so I can scoop that shit.

 

[KnightBrolaire]

I thought it sounded fine but at that price I'd just buy a used Ceres.

Someone in the comments said "Finally a decent review of this pedal" on an official channel's reveal video of a product lol.

Since it’s Satan backwards, I’ve always thought “net-ACE” should be the “correct pronunciation.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

The only way to pronounce it right is if you're in the Black Lodge.

But yeah it sounds good on the video. But like i said it doesn't seem very different from the Chug pedal. Also $300 for a single channel preamp pedal is noooooooooo especially with the competition.
