The Fortin NATAS High Gain Pre-Amp Distortion is a ferociously aggressive distortion and preamp pedal designed to recreate one of Fortins most legendary amplifier tones in a pedal. Inspired directly by the NATAS amplifier the pedal delivers the crushing saturation massive low-end authority and razor-sharp articulation that made the original amp such a legend. Rather than functioning like a conventional distortion pedal the NATAS uses multiple cascading gain stages and highly responsive active tone shaping to deliver the feel depth and dynamic response of a high-gain amplifier. The pedal features an active three-band EQ additional Kill gain boost Mid Shape switching and Fortins unique Girth and Grind controls for exceptional tonal flexibility. Girth and Grind target key frequencies to enhance low-end punch upper-mid attack and overall responsiveness helping riffs feel tighter and more aggressive under the fingers. The Mid Shape switch allows players to choose between more traditional mid-forward voicings or heavily scooped modern metal tones while the Kill boost introduces an additional gain stage for even more saturation and harmonic intensity.

Preamp & DI Pedals
A preamp brings an instrument signal to a controlled level and shapes its impedance, gain and frequency balance before amplification or recording. A DI converts the signal for a balanced, low-impedance connection and may include ground lift, pad and transformer isolation. Combined units can add drive, cabinet filtering, effects loops and parallel outputs while keeping the direct path stable.

Clips the waveform firmly and adds a dense series of harmonics with compression and sustain. The clipping devices, gain stages and tone filters determine whether the result is tight, smooth, mid-focused, scooped, grainy or deliberately abrasive.
