Description
Unleash the sonic fury of the Fortin Kali Pre-Amp / Distortion Pedal—an innovative addition to your pedalboard that captures the legacy of Fortin's legendary amp tones. Inspired by the iconic Cali Amp, the Kali delivers a tonal spectrum ranging from vintage Plexi sparkle to modern metal aggression. With a design nod to the pioneering amp mods of Mike Fortin and Jose Arredondo, this pedal is a testament to the art of sound shaping.
The Kali features three distinctive gain modes: VINT for a vintage vibe reminiscent of chimey Hendrix tones, RAW for a natural, untouched sound, and SAT for that classic Fortin saturation with a "tube-amp-being-pushed-to-its-limits" feel. Each channel comes equipped with a dedicated 3-way Bright switch, providing unparalleled tonal flexibility. The pedal's active 3-band EQ—BASS, MID, and TREBLE—allows precise control over your sound, ensuring it cuts through any mix with clarity and definition.
An extra gain stage on CH 2, accessed via a secondary stomp, propels your sound into new territories, making the Kali a versatile tool for both stage and studio. True bypass switching ensures your tone remains pristine when the pedal is disengaged. Whether you're searching for classic warmth or modern punch, the Fortin Kali brings a universe of tones to your fingertips.
