INTRODUCTION NEURAL DSP // FORTIN AMPS NTS SUITE

The Fortin NTS brings back to life one of the most brutal and versatile sounding amplifiers in the
industry. The NTS accurately replicates the tonal and dynamic characteristics of this dual channel,
blisteringly high gain monster. Neural DSP partnered with Fortin amplification and NTS to bring you
their signature Guitar amplifier “Fortin - NTS”, noise-gate pedal “Fortin - Zuul”, overdrive pedal “Fortin
- Hexdrive” and booster Pedal “Fortin - Grind”.

In addition to the accurate analogue emulation of this products, we added a Cab Simulation block
where you can find a pack of carefully recorded impulses specially designed by Neural DSP.
