The Fortin Kali Pre-Amp Distortion Pedal is the latest evolution in high-performance guitar tone, designed to bring the legendary Fortin amp sound directly to your pedalboard. Building on the success of the NATAS® and MESHUGGAH pedals, Kali offers unmatched versatility and sonic depth inspired by the iconic Fortin CALI® Amp. Whether you crave vintage Plexi sparkle or full-throttle modern metal aggression, Kali delivers a rich palette of tones with impressive clarity and dynamic response.

Featuring switchable gain modes (VINT, SAT, RAW), dual gain stages, and an active 3-band EQ, the Kali pedal provides unparalleled control over your sound. Its three-position bright switches further tailor your tone for exquisite articulation and presence at every gain level. An additional stomp switch adds even more gain, making Kali a powerhouse that outclasses typical M-style preamps. With true bypass and relay-based switching, your signal remains pristine, while the pedal powers up in the same state it was turned off for seamless live performance.

Hand-built in the U.S.A. using the highest-grade materials, Kali is engineered for superior sound, reliability, and responsiveness. Whether you perform in a studio or on stage, this pedal empowers you to craft tones ranging from vintage warmth to aggressive modern saturation with ease and authenticity.

Key Features

  • Switchable Gain Modes – Choose between VINT, SAT, and RAW modes to shape your distortion character, from vintage-inspired chime and compression to raw, natural tone and classic Fortin saturation.
  • Dual Gain Stages with Bright Switches – Two gain controls with individual 3-way bright switches allow precise adjustment of gain and brightness, offering a wide range of tonal textures from sparkling cleans to searing leads.
  • Active 3-Band EQ – Customise your bass, midrange, and treble frequencies actively, giving you full control to sculpt your sound exactly how you want it in any playing situation.
  • True Bypass with Relay Switching – Ensures your signal remains clear and unaffected when the pedal is off, with soft footswitch activation and memory of the last on/off state for ease of use during performances.

Vintage to Modern Tone

The Kali pedal honours decades of amp design heritage with its VINT mode, delivering vintage sparkle and compression reminiscent of a pushed Plexi amp. Alternatively, the SAT mode recreates the feeling of a tube amp driven to saturation, while RAW mode offers a pure, uncoloured preamp sound. This flexibility allows players to explore a vast tonal spectrum from classic blues-rock to aggressive metal.

Precision Gain and Tone Control

With two gain channels and dedicated bright switches, Kali lets you dial in the perfect amount of gain and articulation for your style. The active EQ lets you fine-tune your low, mid, and high frequencies, ensuring your guitar tone sits perfectly in any mix or live setting.

Robust and Reliable Design

Handcrafted in the U.S.A. with premium components, the Kali is built to perform reliably gig after gig. Its relay-based true bypass switching minimizes signal loss, and the pedal’s compact dimensions make it an easy addition to any pedalboard.

Fortin

Fortin is built for uncompromising high-gain performance, delivering tight, aggressive distortion with exceptional clarity and control. Designed with modern metal and extended-range guitars in mind, their amps and pedals focus on precision low end, cutting articulation, and crushing saturation that stays defined even under intense gain.

Choose Fortin when you want serious power without flub or muddiness. Whether it’s razor-sharp rhythm tones or fluid, sustaining leads, their gear is engineered to hit hard, stay tight, and dominate the mix with confidence.

Distortion Pedals

Distortion pedals create a heavier, more aggressive gain sound than most overdrive pedals, giving guitarists the sustain, bite and saturation needed for rock, punk, metal and hard-hitting lead tones. They can turn a clean amp into a high-gain platform or add an extra layer of intensity to an already driven sound.

Some distortion pedals are tight and modern, while others are raw, fizzy or vintage-inspired. Choosing the right one depends on whether you want chunky rhythm tones, singing sustain, scooped metal sounds or a classic hard-rock voice with plenty of attack.

Preamp & Amp Sim Pedals,

Amp and cab simulator pedals recreate the sound and response of guitar amplifiers, speaker cabinets and microphones in a compact pedal format. They are useful for recording direct, practising silently, running straight into a PA, or building a pedalboard that does not rely on a traditional amp.

Many amp and cab sims include different amplifier voices, impulse responses, EQ controls and headphone outputs. They are a strong choice for modern guitarists who need consistent tone at home, in the studio and on stage without carrying heavy amplifiers and speaker cabinets.
