FORTIN AMPS WHITECHAPEL BLADE PEDAL FULL DEMO - METAL

[@MFKR696]

I love that boosted JCM800 tone. Those 800s turn into real fire-breathers when you put a boost in front of them.

[@killertone]

Absolutely

[@MartinvonBargen]

@@killertone The used prices for JCM800s over here in Norway make me wince. Back in the day in the UK you couldn't get rid of them for a long time. That sound is tight yet open. Reminiscent of many DM bands from back in the day, yet still modern.

[@AlexRamosDrTaz]

@@MartinvonBargen Frankly, I'd prefer the reissue if I was in the market for a JCM800 head. I like the addition of the effects loop, and you can do the effects loop cable trick to saturate the power amp with it.

[@MartinvonBargen]

@@AlexRamosDrTaz Deffo. They were very much bare bones when they were released back then. I recently got a TSL 60 and while it's never gonna set the world on fire by itself, it does take pedals incredibly well and the deep control makes chuggy HM-2 stuff sound tighter than hell

[@SentientSeven]

Fantastic demo as always, and can't really go wrong with anything Fortin.

[@GoFindAsafeSpace]

I disagree....your bank account can go wrong with fortin 🤘😁

[@matthewlima1882]

Impressed. Again. Great product and demo. Knobs have a very wide usable range to them.

[@clintn6677]

I was thinking this would be a perfect demo if only you demo'd the pedal on and off then you did it. All demos should be done like this.

[@clintn6677]

I just ordered a 2204 and a Blade.This is going to be fun. This is my first Fortin boost. I hope I dig it as much as my Zuul.

[@nickmetal131]

Unreal. Just that pedal turned the JCM 800 into a high gain monster? Sounds incredible.

[@grahamNC83]

I really like how you review. The tweeking of the knobs at the end is super helpful to see what it does!!....actually, I ended buying the pedal because of this review

[@glguitarman]

Excellent video. I like how the controls do what you'd expect, i.e. when they're both cut.

[@JeremyVarao]

Killer man! Nice showing standard tuning as well. Need this pedal for sure.

[@AlexRamosDrTaz]

The low B is drop tuned to an A here.

[@wfd666]

Awesome demo. Crushing tone. Perfect

[@thetrendkiller8444]

That is a perfect demo. Showing exactly what it does. I will be ordering one of these soon.

[@slavesforging5361]

Great sound and a great demo! thanks for doing the knob turny part. and great licks too man. definitely gonna have to consider this pedal!

[@teriakamoto]

That pedal really colors that JCM800 into Majestic Metal Magnificence. One of the best Amps ever made,I had the 2205 (1985) version which I will always regret selling as I paid 550,00 USD all in for head & Matching 1960 Cabinet in Dead Mint Condition in 1986. It had a Bottom End to die for and although I have amassed quite a collection of great amps, That one I rank as one of the best ever made.That pedal is no joke and not a product of trend hysteria. I have Large bins of amazing Pre-Amps and dirt pedals from the last 10 years and have swore off buying anymore, I have however not ruled out Boost pedals and have focused on Modulated Reverb, & Delay in the event that something amazing comes along as I'm venturing back into the Psychedelic somewhat side of Progressive Metal. I have been focusing on pick ups and dialing in my Guitars and am really jonesing for a 26-27" scale 6 string. ESP & LTD's are great Guitars. That 7 sounded great with those pickups and as usual your riffing was tasty and articulate as ever. Great Demo and all I can say is WOW. Fortin does it again. Just proves what a great Amp the '80's JCM800's were and are.I will be on the hunt for one of these pedals.Honorable mention to a pedal I just picked up from a German Manufaktur, The Klirrton Ill Disposed that does similar justice to my EVH lll.Check one out if you haven't already. Happy Trails-

[@inki999]

Amazing player, awesome riffs, sick sound.

[@killertone]

Thanks man

[@Oilid]

KILLER! Thanks for sharing!

[@stephencox4509]

This tone is really fantastic. Sounds killer.

[@damonstewart70]

Dude do you have any solo stuff,what band r u in.... killer tone!!!

[@StillItBurns]

Great video as always!! It sounds enormous!! I have a question for you: how do you see this pedal paired with a Mark V 90w in "Mark IV" mode? Would it be too much for it or It would be like unleashing a demon on planet earth? Thank you :)

[@killertone]

I think it would work well in that situation. It will tighten it up and add a faster attack to your picking.

[@StillItBurns]

@@killertone Thank you soooooo much :)

[@AlexWhy34]

Punishing with all the clarity. I really like the darker tonality it gives. I'm curious, what gauge strings were you rocking?

[@RezaMatix]

Great job!

[@wmxx2000]

That's quite a tone you got there

[@dutchyfresh1]

It cuts deep bro hammer. Nice video, well done.

[@rebeloz2112]

That esp is beast

[@terminalvelocity4858]

Awesome demo man, thanks! What is the advantage to using this boost over some other types of boosts? I know it's Fortin, which is good shit always, but just curious what advantages can be had with this vs them. Thanks again.

[@killertone]

Well, it is different from other boosts in that the Saw control is actually frequency selected and not. just an output level. That alone is great for tightening up a loose amp. The Deep and Cut controls allow you to shape it after that frequency selected boost by adding bass or treble back in.

[@demonbike666]

Are those AHB-3’s in that ESP? I dig this pedal, more tonal options over the grind..

[@killertone]

They are the Blackout EMTY set

[@AdrianNWB]

Sound badass. I take it that the 800 is bone stock?

[@killertone]

Adrian Hinkley yes stock

[@iwannarockon2010]

It's all there! 🎸🔊🤘

Tone city!!! Awesome as always!!!

[@Decimation13]

omg when you're knob turning at the end is the camera shaking from the sound?

[@DarrenPrice333]

I have the fortin 33 and fortin Hexdrive. Is the blade similar to the Hexdrive?

[@sourcecompilestudios3554]

Sounds badass man!

[@killertone]

Thanks!!

[@devanfuentes665]

Are you using a noise suppressor in this demo? Curious how it feeds back

[@tonyd7137]

sounds pretty good!

[@fuzzcous]

Excellent riffage!

[@dustin6664]

Nice.

[@_errnest_]

Hello killertone! How do You record guitar being in the same room as amplifier? Is it on very low volume?

[@Witchpit]

How in the hell do you make your jcm800 sound like that?? Mines not that dirty ??

[@killertone]

Boost it with a Blade, that's how! :-)

[@epg2501]

How do you like this in comparison to the 33? Same but just added tone controls?

[@derrotamundial4554]

what is better this one or the maxon st9 pro plus supertube?

[@RedDawnWOLV]

you da man!

[@jackflorio6483]

whats your favorite pedal to boost a JCM2000 with? I recently got a DSL 50 and im really not digging my maxon 808 with it. I want something tight sounding and not a tube screamer. I still need to tighten lows but i feel like my 808 ironically takes a lot of edge and life away from the tone even with it set how it should be. Thanks

[@killertone]

Check out the Hexdrive video I did. Killer boost for a Marshall.

[@Timurnator1990]

thanks

[@eldiablomut8202]

If you had to pick between the blade and the grind?

[@killertone]

Hmmmm would depend on the amp I guess

[@williampeck5846]

@@killertone evh 5150i lbx?

[@bojanglez7507]

The saw is the law!

[@grahamNC83]

How much gain are you running on the amp during the knob turning?

[@eriklindberg6045]

is it possible to get grind-like tones from this pedal? I’ve been looking at the grind pedal since I heard your silver jubilee demo, but this pedal seems more versatile

[@killertone]

Yes. With the Deep all the way down and the Cut at noon, it is very Grind-ish.

[@thefilth9177]

Is this to replace my OD pedal? I mainly use it as a boost anyways. Drive usually at a 1...or can I layer it on top? Or is that too much? Sorry loads of questions 😅

[@killertone]

I guess that depends on what you're after. I wouldn't use them together because that is way too much boost for my needs. The Blade is designed to get crushing tight rhythm tones so maybe add the OD for solo work if need be.

[@thefilth9177]

killertonetexas wonderful thank you for the advice. 👊

[@ahopeoflife]

Pro review!

[@bennohoundsuk9179]

Would this work on a bass??

[@ericwilliams7374]

Holy fucking shit balls!!!!!!!

[@jameshayes2652]

Do you think it would sound good with a original 5150

[@killertone]

Absolutely

[@brandonlam1477]

They tone is tougher than a $2 steak!

[@tyberard5736]

So it functions a lot like the Airis Savage Drive in the fact that you can boost then has adjustable filters on Bass and treble?

[@killertone]

I have no idea since I've never seen/heard/used one of those. I can tell you that this is very closely related to the Grind/33 pedals as the Saw control is already frequency selected. Bass and Treble are after that.

[@tyberard5736]

The Savage is a OD. It gives you the ability to add some gain to say an amp that is kind of lacking but the tone control and boost is what makes it a killer pedal. Not trying to sell you this pedal in any way shape or form but Its definitely a cool pedal to have in the arsenal.

[@killertone]

This is not an OD so it looks the two are pretty different.

[@slavesforging5361]

​@@tyberard5736 nope. they make a savage Boost, and a savage Drive. i' more partial to boosts myself than overdrives. all about that extra tone shaping ability a small variety of boost pedals can give!

[@tyberard5736]

@@slavesforging5361 I use the drive.

[@6slayer6sam62]

So if you had to choose, this, Grind, or 33?

[@killertone]

I am very partial to the Grind but this pedal is very useful if you want to tweak a bit more.

[@satamique]

Super rhytmique à 1:46

[@dustin6664]

How many db boost would you estimate the pedal has?

[@killertone]

Dustin 666 I think it’s like 20db or so

[@killertone]

Grind/33 mix kinda

2:20 goes for ola englund's riff?

[@killertone]

No. Never heard his riff when I wrote this. They are different anyway. Jesus.

[@lordjoyero9139]

what tunning is your guitar?

[@killertone]

Drop A

[@MrTrixzzzz]

Can this go into the effects loop or does it sound like shit that way?

[@killertone]

I wouldn't run it in the loop. Really meant as an in front boost as it shapes the input signal rather than shaping the preamplifier post tone stack signal.

[@ericvalverderosado2046]

2:15 Feared

[@killertone]

Nope
