Here are 144 Fortin modded JVM Marshall profiles. 16 different amp settings, 8 different microphones used - vintage SM57, newer SM57, i5, Heil PR20, AT 2035, e609 Silver, MXL Ribbon mic, and a combo of the Heil and Ribbon mic. Everything went through either a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 or a Focusrite ISA One preamp.

Used my favorite metal cab - 1992 Mesa oversize armor. It's heavy in many ways.

Since there are 144, I split em up into two sets - one is the clean/crunch channels, other are the overdrive channels. OF course, I think you need all of them, but this way if you just want the gain train, you can pick it... but Fortin amps are a lot more than just awesome grind. The JVM Marshalls have six channels basically - Green Clean, Orange Crunch, Red Crunch, and then Green, Yellow and Red Overdrive.

The Clean/Crunch set goes from crystal clean (and it sounds great) to crunchy marshall, with a bit of a sag/vintage feel. Just to make things interesting I used a Voodoo Labs Giggity pedal to pull some nice sustain leads out of one profile set.

Overdrive starts with crunch and goes to total facemelting. I of course cranked the heck out of the amp - my guitars nearly shook off the walls - so most of these profiles are yellow channel. Even only half way up on yellow, the gain was nearly maxed on the Kemper. I could only pull a few red profiles, due to the amounts of gain - it was so noisy that the kemper refused to profile. I kid you not, at 1/4 gain on the red, it maxed out all but the last LED on some profile settings. There is no lack of gain on this profile set!

Amp settings are documented with photos of any changes on the amp. I even included a pic showing the Giggity settings.

I know we've had a bounty of awesome high gain profiles lately, but I think these are worth checking out. I'll have some good clips in a few days. I need to rest my ears.

Pete this is sick! What speakers are in that cab? I assume v30s but I just want to make sure.

Yup, well worn British V30s. I bought this cab from the first owner, actually knew him when he bought this cab and the matching recto rackmount amp. Cab has been played loud and gigged a bit, the speakers are good and I think cabs that have been played often and loudly sound better than newer or even old cabs that have been never played loudly. I only gigged with this cab personally a few times though, with the armor plate it weighs around 100 pounds and is not fun to cart around.

Here's a pic of the cab...

I'll wait for samples and probably buy , you're doing nice job!

No Full pack price?

144 profiles for $20 sounds like a deal to me! I think people will be surprised when I post some clips of the clean/crunch channels. We all know the Fortin stuff brings the high gain modern thing, but every channel on this amp is pretty awesome.

Bought the overdrive pack, sound great, i really like the heil pr20, should buy one of them myself.
Nice Work!

Thanks man! The pr20 is a really good microphone, one of my favorites. And they are very affordable. I'd take one instead of a 57 every time.

hi pete,

i bought 10 minutes ago your fortin modded marshall profile (overdirve).
i only reached an confirmation email with the transaction code from paypal.
how can i download the profiles now.

I manually fulfill them, that's going to change soon, I know a heck of a lot more about profiling than I do e-commerce. Sorry about the delay but you should be profiled up now. Thanks and enjoy your new profiles!

Pete, does the amp normally have that much gain, or was that part of the Fortin mod?

Part of the mods. I've played a stock JVM 410, wasn't as much gain and it wasn't as clear.

I'd like to know what Fortin did to the amp, too.

For sure it's cool price , I just asked because on Bogner it's possible to buy each channels or full pack

Wow, I'm eager of hearing some clips !

Yeah, the Bogner was easier to get an equal number of clips since it was green, blue and red. Fortin is Clean Green, Crunch Yellow, Crunch Red, Overdrive Green, Overdrive Yellow, Overdrive Red... I guess I could have tried to split em three ways, but the amp really has a more vintage thing going on the clean and crunch channels, and the overdrive channels are it's own thing, so to speak. So I split em in two. Clips coming soon!

Here's what I was told:

The Mod that Mike did effects all of the channels. He revoiced the whole preamp from the normal JVM. There is more gain on all of the channels not just the lead and he made the presence and Depth more active / useable . I find that on the stock JVM you don't really hear much difference on the depth and presence after a certain point but with Mikes amp you have a wider sweep/range. The mod also brightens up the amp and lifts some of the merkyness. On a stock JVM you would have to pin the treble in order to get the treble that you will get on half of the JVM. I also find that even if yuo scoop the mids on the Fortin modded JVM there is still plenty present. On the crunch channels there is more gain then the stock JVM which I feel allows you to dial in more in=between tones. On the stock JVM if you keep the gain down to low, its not enough and if you put it up to high, you lose that crunch vibe. That's about it in a nutshell!
