Anyone know what that white and black pedal is that he uses for ring mod articulation?

NEVER dial in your guitar tone without having the drums & bass already playing guys. You're just wasting time and will have to do everything again once you hear the full mix.

Nice technical playing but I have to say it sounds pretty shit and incoherent

Nice ballad😁

what dose the little knob inside do?

Thanks! Your video helped me decide which fortin plug-in to get🤘

Marshall heads are super overrated man. I’ve tried a lot of them, and never got a sound that I was truly happy with.

Damn he’s playing riffs with his fingers AND his feet!!

Listen to his beautiful guitar work on the latest Kaipa albums.

“much easier with a laptop" nah lemme take my full tower to the show, bruh

my pal was watchin it with me and at the end he was like ''now go and play it reversed coz I think this piece is reversed, and when u play it reversed u will get it how it should be'' -- and my brain go.Oes like '' Q#"%#$"NFDAS#"#$?=??=0??''

sick? what’s the tuning?

Severely underrated. This guy is the best extreme metal guitarist since Jon Levassuer.

Love vitriol, proud natas user! Fortin is the best !

What's the name of the song? 🙃

All the pedals!

EMG’s are still the king of hi gain active pick ups.

PRS archon series are my all time faves

These metalcore, djenty songs are so played out. Why can't you guys play anything different? Fortin is a brand for metalcore now? That fatty little kid also needs to go. Bring in ppl with musical integrity. Not djenty youtubers

Been a die hard on the Cali plugin for a while now, can't wait for it to get some love too!

⁠​⁠I’m assuming you’re talking about NAMM 2020? Yes, it’s possibly the best video to date that you have. As for a full on playthrough/settings video like the ones Mel does, demonstrating the product in isolation in a pure “death metal” format, I’m not aware if such a video exists, or any video exists on the subject to be honest. When I speak of “Death Metal” I’m talking bands such as Vitriol, Suffocation, Hate Eternal, Nile, Hideous Divinity etc. Getting Mel to demo the Natas in front of an Orange Terror for example, has 600 views over 4 months, 25 odd likes and a couple of comments. The videos are drawn out, simplified to the point that it feels like we are a bunch of pre-schoolers and the tones achieved for a product that is known for its ability to be “brutal” are far from. I tune out now when I see a thumbnail with Mel on it, as I know what I’m going to get. No offence to him or your marketing team, but your channel is littered with the same scenario as the Orange Terror example above. Then, on the odd occasion, we get a semi-professional video with another player playing rehashed 80’s pop tunes with tapping versions of Twinkle twinkle little star over a fully edited to the grid fake drums and all production that most could have a little dance to. There are thousands of us death metal heads crying out for someone decent to show the “brutality” side of Fortin Amplification. Hell, even some good “Thrash” style (Exodus, Kreator etc) would even be a sight for sore eyes and ears. You’ve got blokes like Jason Frankhouser that should be captaining the ship on the thrash metal side. Kyle from Vitriol heading up the death metal side along with others like Karl Sanders from Nile who uses the Fortin Nameless plugin for songwriting/demos. Do what BC Rich finally did a few years back and grab someone of the same ilk like they did with Erik Rutan. I would personally love to see musicians like the above mentioned a few times a year, rather than the same boring, same setup, same happy prog modern pop themed videos that are put out every month or so. I honestly think it’s hurting the brand not having death/slam/tech death side of things addressed. I would love for you blokes to have a full series of videos on the subject. Some real death metal, not “melodic” death metal or anything that’s majorish/happy sounding. Just pure “brutality”. And please … no more videos on plugging a Natas into a JCM 2000 and making it sound like 💩. Your products deserve so much more than to rely on one person to market 90% of what you have. Food for thought gentlemen. 🤘

Killed it yet again Mike! Absolutely freakin' awesome sounding $h!t! my man!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Got this a few weeks ago when it was 50% off….deleted all my other plugins.

I wish Neural/Fortin would put some Death Metal content out as 99% of the content is always pop/melodic/djent . Nameless kills for Death Metal.

😂😂😂😂🔥👏👏👏👏

Archetype : Rabea

Cali suite is my all time favourite

Gosh those weird tempo changes must've been a doozy to learn haha, not to mention doing all the pedal stomping whilst playing.

My Boah humbled me every night we rehearsed for years. T'was a pleasure to jam and make brutal music with you Russ!

i like this one i do

The drop pedal gave me diarrhea

He almost looks afraid of his own riffs, it's so brutal.

My understanding is that the Zuul+ key input-thru is buffered. How will this work with germanium fuzzes, like a Tonebender MK1? Everyone knows that germanium fuzzes don't play well with a buffer in front of them: the transistors need to "see" the guitar's volume pot directly. The Zuul+ would be a better design if the key-thru was true bypass so it would play nice with germanium fuzzes. Am I missing something?

What happens when a high functioning autistic gets into death metal guitar?

"Promosm" 👍

Small Clone chorus. I can get great drive from my amps if I wanted to, I can live without delay or pitch effects, I can use my amps for less crazy reverb, but that chorus stays on all the time. That I can’t do without and still sound like myself.

A DAW consumes too many resources. I recommend using Gig Performer. A host of the plugins vst that is much more versatile and hardly consumes RAM memory.

Who is that guy?

Are those Teemu Ibanez models customized? They look like Solar guitars with Ibanez logo.

Proco rat 2.

Sound like transistor.

There needs to be a physical version of this EQ.

Great vid and well explained! Fortin Zuul is mega

Whats it sound like with lead

this is drop f right?

Outstanding Performance. Still one of the, if not the best guiarplayer in the World!

Tabs lmao??

He was probably playing against 11/16 time signature in his head 😂

I need a gear talk video 😮
