The absolute best noise gate I have ever used.
Very precise noise gate. Worth the cost, especially for live performances.
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.
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.
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.
Complete tonal control with the Girth and Grind controls. Tweak your tone to a level never before achieved. With the active 3 band EQ, you can easily carve out the mud and make your riffs cut through a dense drum mix instantly.
Adds an additional gain stage - the kind that does nothing other than melt faces
Das NATAS hat einen relativ hohen Strombedarf, weshalb kein Batterieclip vorhanden ist – eine Batterie hält maximal etwa eine Stunde.
Zum Einschalten des NATAS benötigt das Pedal einen anfänglichen „Spitzenwert“ von etwa 600 mA, doch sobald es läuft, verbraucht es etwa 150 mA.
Es ist äußerst wichtig, dass Sie das NATAS mit einem hochwertigen Netzteil betreiben!
Der EQ ist ein äußerst reaktionsschneller aktiver 3-Band-EQ, sodass Sie Frequenzen nicht nur abschneiden, sondern auch hinzufügen können!
Mike kam dem Klang und vor allem dem Feeling des Verstärkers so nahe wie möglich. Wenn Sie NATAS in den Leistungsbereich eines NATAS-Verstärkers oder sogar in den IR-Bereich der Neural DSP NTS-Suite einbinden, sind die Klangunterschiede kaum zu hören.

Product is solid build, easy to use, good size and quiet switching
Impressed with the quick shipping and that it worked with my Diezel mk1
