Fortin NATAS BlackOut: The Legendary High-Gain Icon, Reborn 

For years, the Fortin NATAS amplifier has been the "white whale" of the guitar world - a rare, fire-breathing beast known for its uncompromising aggression and surgical precision. Now, that legendary tone is no longer confined to a rare head.

Welcome the NATAS BlackOut pedal to your rig.

The NATAS BlackOut isn’t just another dirt box; it is a staggering feat of engineering designed to deliver the brutal power, absolute articulation, and crushing depth of gain that defined the original amplifier. For the first time, you can drop authentic Fortin DNA directly onto your pedalboard.

Engineered for Pure Sonic Chaos

To capture the response of a tube head, we utilized a complex architecture that mirrors the NATAS's internal circuitry:

● Cascading Gain Stages: Delivers a saturated, harmonically rich distortion that remains tight even at extreme settings.

● 3-Band Active EQ: A perfectly voiced EQ section that allows for precise tone sculpting without losing the pedal's core character.

● "Kill" Gain Boost: An additional onboard boost to push your signal into total saturation for leads or ultra-heavy rhythms.

● Mid Shape Switch: Instantly toggle between a classic mid-scoop for thrash and modern metal, or a mid-hump to cut through the densest of mixes.

Joining the Elite Ranks of High-Gain Preamps
The NATAS BlackOut is built for players who demand "amp-in-a-box" performance. It stands proudly alongside the industry’s most respected high-gain preamps and distortion tools.

If your search for the ultimate tone has led you to explore legendary units like the Friedman BE-OD , the Revv G3 and G4 series, or the Diezel VH4 Pedal , the NATAS BlackOut is the final piece of your puzzle. While those pedals offer incredible flavors of gain, the NATAS provides a unique level of "violent" clarity and low-end authority that is purely Fortin.

Welcome the NATAS BlackOut to your collection!

Many Fortin amps have achieved legendary status over the years - but only one has had players constantly talking, constantly chasing and constantly looking to recreate the legendary tone.

We want players to be able to find that tone from their own rig, be able to drop the NATAS pedal in and feel the brutal power, absolute articulation and depth of gain that made the NATAS amp the legend it is.

The NATAS is a staggering feat of engineering, a sound and response never experienced from a gain pedal - cascading gain stages, a perfectly placed 3 band active EQ, additional Kill gain boost and a Mid Shape (mid scoop or hump) switch, ensures that the NATAS Distortion brings the authentic Fortin tone to a dirt pedal, for the very first time.

Unleash Pure Sonic Chaos with the Fortin NATAS Pedal: where raw power meets relentless clarity. Are you ready to harness the darkness?

On: True bypass, relay based soft footswitch - NATAS will power up in the same state it was powered off.Kill: Adds an extra gain stage; it can get pretty crazy - in the best possible way.Bass: Active circuitry, controls how much bass is added, or taken away.Mid: Active circuitry, adjusts how much mid range is present, or taken away. Treble: Active circuitry, controls the High frequencies.Girth and Grind: Tone shaping happens here; both of these excite specific frequencies that can make your tone spring to life - almost feels like the strings are bouncing under your fingers.Mid Shape: Places an EQ curve across the base tone to give that more modern, scooped tone or a more classic mid hump. Use this to tighten up your tone with the Hump or totally thrash out with the Scoop setting.

Q: How much power does the NATAS need?
A: The NATAS is quite power hungry which is why there is no battery clip - a battery would last about an hour, max. It is vitally important you power the NATAS with a high quality power supply!
Q: Is the EQ active or passive?
A: The EQ is a hugely responsive 3 band active EQ, so you don't just cut frequencies, you can add them!
Q: Is the pedal the same as the amp?
A: Mike got as close as he could to the tone, and most importantly, the feel of the amp. If you are to run the NATAS into the power section of a NATAS amp, or even into the IR section of the Neural DSP NTS suite, the tonal differences are extremely hard to hear.
