Amp Features

Three Channels: The Fortin Cali features three channels – Clean, OD2, and OD1.


Violence Switch: OD2 and OD1 channels have an assignable VIOLENCE stage for increasing the overall gain.


Push/Pull Bass Pot: Passive interactive low-frequency equalization for all channels. Pull it out for global saturation and more gain and compression. It is normal for the level to drop a bit which causes less volume fed to the power amp. On the clean channel, the saturation does not take effect until the clean gain control is at 2 o’clock and beyond.

Thump Switch: 3-way switch for negative feedback control of low-frequency interaction between amplifier and speakers. Left: Low; Center:High; Right: Medium. With less feedback there is less power amp saturation and a more scooped sound. Control at a lower master volume position for more defined differences.


Hair Switch: 3-way switch for negative feedback control of high-frequency interaction between amplifier and speakers. Left: Medium; Center: Low; Right: High. With less feedback there is less power amp saturation and a more scooped sound. Control at a lower master volume position for more defined differences.

Bright Switch: 3-way bright switch for each channel that provides a high-frequency boost that becomes less active as gain control is increased. Combine this with the Clean/Gain 1/Gain 2 controls for endless tone-shaping possibilities!

Grind, Zuul & Hexdrive

A model of Fortin Amplification’s GRIND pedal was added to the virtual signal chain to create a complete suite that incorporates all the necessary tone-shaping tools for the modern guitarist.

Grind

Besides additional gain, GRIND adds an incredible amount of clarity and articulation to the sound, making every note defined and present, even when highly distorted. Use on more low end rich amp sounds to add tightness.

Zuul

The Cali also features the Fortin ZUUL pedal. Widely regarded as the epitome of noise-gate performance and transparency! This virtual studio-grade noise gate gets the job done with a simple straightforward operation. ZUUL will respect your fast play stops and your long releases without interfering on your interpretation.

Hexdrive

The HEXDRIVE adds further tone-shaping possibilities, bringing classic and modern overdrive tones to the plugin suite.

EQ

Ideal for detailed spectrum adjustment, the onboard 9-band graphic equalizer allows for total control over frequency response.

Time Effects

Our beautiful delay and reverb engines with simplified controls.

Cabsim

To offer maximum flexibility, we engineered a very comprehensive and adaptive cabinet simulation module featuring six virtual microphones, which can be positioned around the speakers. The cabsim section features 125 IRs captured by Adam “Nolly” Getgood.

This module can also serve as a standard loader for your favorite impulse response files.

These features can be used on both mono and stereo configurations; the latter allows for a second microphone to be added with full panning, microphone level, and phase parameters in addition to position and distance, for ultimate control and endless sonic possibilities.

Standalone

The Standalone feature allows you to quickly install, plug and play. Standalone is perfect for practice on the go and live use.
