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.
