Meet the KALI® PRE-AMP / DISTORTION – the next evolution in Fortin tone.
Hot off the heels of the game-changing NATAS® and MESHUGGAH pedals, KALI® is the third instalment in our preamp series, bringing the fire of our legendary amps straight to your pedalboard.
Inspired by the iconic Fortin® CALI® Amp - born from Mike Fortin’s deep roots in amp modding (and a nod to Jose Arredondo’s revolutionary work), KALI® captures everything from vintage Plexi sparkle all the way to full-throttle modern metal mayhem.
This pedal doesn’t just bring the thunder - it defines it. With switchable gain modes (VINT, SAT, RAW), a three-position bright switch for each gain control, and an active 3-band EQ, KALI® puts a universe of tones at your feet. With the addition of an extra stomp for even more gain, you've got a tool that outclasses every M-style pre-amp out there.
KALI® - A vintage foundation honoring decades of design with modern enhancements. Be unlimited
Experience the definitive evolution of the ""Modified British"" sound. The KALI® is the third installment in the legendary Fortin pre-amp series, engineered to bring the searing heat of our world-renowned modded amps directly to your pedalboard.
The Heritage of the ""Jose Mod"" - Inspired by the iconic Fortin® CALI® amplifier, the KALI® is a masterclass in amp modding history. Mike Fortin’s design pays direct homage to the revolutionary Jose Arredondo mods that defined the ""Brown Sound"" and transformed the vintage Plexi into a high-gain monster. Whether you are hunting for classic Plexi sparkle or the brutal, saturated growl of a hot-rodded JCM800, the KALI® delivers.
Unrivaled Tonal Versatility Unlike standard MIAB (Marshall in a Box) pedals that offer a single sound, KALI® provides a universe of modified tones through three switchable gain modes:
- VINT: The classic, touch-responsive ""Plexi on 10"" experience.
- SAT: The legendary saturation mod—compressed, fluid, and harmonically rich.
- RAW: Unfiltered, modern high-gain aggression for the heaviest stages.
Precision Engineering for the Discerning Player
- Dual Gain Controls: Each featuring a 3-position Bright Switch to dial in the perfect ""bite"" for any guitar.
- Active 3-Band EQ: Powerful tone-shaping that goes far beyond vintage passive stacks.
- Boost Stomp: An assignable gain stage for instant transition from rhythm to searing lead.
The KALI® is more than a pedal—it’s a vintage foundation honoring decades of British design with Mike Fortin’s modern enhancements. Stop searching for the perfect modded Marshall tone and start playing it.
Be Unlimited. Be KALI®.
On - True bypass, relay based soft footswitch - KALI® will power up in the same state it was powered off. CH 1/2 -CH 2 adds an extra gain stage (gain control knob 1)Gain 1 -The amount of additional gain in the gain boost of CH 2 (Red channel) with its own 3-way Bright switch.Gain 2 - The amount of gain applied to the circuit, with its own 3-way Bright switch.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.MASTER - This is where the secret sauce is hidden. You have three modes and each one will change the way the pedal feels and reacts to your playing.VINT: This is where you will find the most ""Vintage sound and feel"" of the pedal, some brightness is added and a level of compression that makes the pedal feel like a pushed Plexi - think chimey Hendrix all the way to live Kossof, when CH 2 is selected, you can add a modern mod to the circuit, giving you the place where modern gain was born.RAW: No additional gain stages added, this is the pedal in its most natural state.SAT: The classic Fortin saturation, at lower levels the volume will drop and the saturation is evident. As you bring the level up, the volume drop is less noticable, but the level of compression will increase, giving you that HUGE 'tube-amp-being-pushed-to-its-limits"" feel.

Kick in that gain boost to make your tone go straight to the land of chugs!
3 gain options, each gain control has a three way bright switch
Q: Why is the pedal called KALI® if it was named after the Cali amp?
A: Our good friends over at Origin Effects already have a line of pedals under the name of Cali. We sought permission from them to call our amp Cali, and they graciously agreed.
Making a Pre-Amp pedal would be too close to their products, so we decided to call the pedal KALI® to ensure there is no confusion between the two.
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 boost them!
Q: Is the pedal the same as the CALI® amp from Fortin?
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 KALI® pedal into the power section of a the CALI® amp, or even into the IR section of the NEURAL DSP CALI suite, the tonal differences are extremely hard to hear.

Eye pleasing shelves with the ability to hold weight
Color: Light Brown, Size: 4
Great set of 4 wood floating shelves. I used these to hold precon decks and other commander decks for magic the gathering cards. Though they are on the smaller size, they still fit up to 4 commander boxes side by side and and withhold double that if I stack the boxes. I am very impressed by the quality and how much weight each shelf can hold. The brackets to hang them make the shelves even more sturdy. The shelves are very pleasing on the eyes and the wood color is very natural. The shelves were simple to hang by one person. They look very stunning and of great value. They hold all kinds of items and function perfect as a shelf and look wonderful as a form/type of wall decoration even without items on the shelves. Overall I’m very happy with this purchase and I will be buying more of these shelves soon.

Great shelves
Color: Light Brown, Size: 4, Color: Light Brown, Size: 4
These are cute and easy to install. They were the perfect size for the location. I did use other drywall mounts to make sure they were more likely to stay in but after I installed they feel sturdy and reliable.

Different mounting mechanism than photos
Color: Light Brown, Size: 4, Color: Light Brown, Size: 4
I'm going to start off this review by stating that the mounting mechanism used on the Shelf is different than the one shown in the photo. In the photo, it shows a single bar which would have made the Shelf easier to level however, the product I received has two separate bars which means I have to be extra careful holding a level against the paper. Stencil. The reason I chose this product over different listings was because for a dollar or two more its photo showed a single bar.
Now for the pros and cons:
Pros:
Accurate measurement.
Shelf appears to be actual wood! The photos made it looks like a veneer, which it is not.
Easy to install.
Includes good instructions.
Seems like it can hold items fairly well.
Cons:
The mounting hardware for drywall pretty flimsy, and I stripped out some of the drywall anchors during install. They still worked, but it was annoying to finish inserting them.
The shelf doesn't sit fully flush to the wall from factory as the screws included make it protrude slightly. I can fix this with my dremel, However, This could have been solved from the factory by making the cavity slightly deeper.
As mentioned above in my main detractor, it is a two bar mounting system rather than a one bar, which was shown in the photo.
