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.

Good for medium and large dogs not good for small dogs
Too big for dogs under 15 pounds. Treats are hard to get out of the four corners. My dog can barely pick this up. She weighs 12 pounds. She still found it interesting though trying to dig the treats out that she was unsuccessful. Even after I cut all the little triangle prongs off the four corners the treats are still stuck in there. There is a slot on the side that I can put half of a dental refill in the side and she can eventually get it out so there’s still somewhat of play and challenge received, but not that satisfied to me.

Great for aggressive chewers!
Size: Jumbo, Style: Peanut Butter
I have a very very aggressive chewer. She is a Rottweiler/Pitbull mix. Most toys she completely destroys within 2 days, sometimes 2 hours. I must praise this toy as she has had it for over 5 months and has not destroyed it! She loves chewing the ends and carries in her mouth squeaking it as she goes. I have 4 pups and they all take turns chewing when they can. I will be buying more Playology dog toys in the future.
Thank you for making such a great toy!!

They are her favorites
Size: Medium (VALUE 2-Pack), Style: Beef, Size: Medium (VALUE 2-Pack), Style: Beef
We’ve had many dogs, many very destructive ones and wish I had these years ago. The hard toys get sharp edges, this toy is the best and yes is far better than the other red ones. My bulldog wants tug of war for 30 min to an hour every night. We’ve gotten tennis elbow, tendinitis, and pulled muscles holding onto this thing. She has tons of toys but 9pm and this is only option for her. We don’t get a choice. Easy to hold, well for a few min until your hand gets tired. First you one was about 3 years ago and she’s only on her third one. They last forever, easy to clean, and aren’t sharp edges. Seriously, better than any toy sold anywhere. My phone has hundred of pictures of Pickle holding this. She’s doing it right now. If you have a strong destructive dog that takes pride in destroying toys, ruin their confidence and get them this one.

Perfect Toy for Large Dogs
Size: Medium, Style: Cheddar Cheese
I don’t normally leave reviews, but this toy is stellar and is a new favorite for my dog! She is a large dog (70lbs cattle dog lab mix) and I accidentally bought a medium, but it actually is a great size for her! So far this stands up to her chewing, but I may need to update in a few weeks to speak for durability but it really does feel solid. Most toys don’t last an afternoon once she starts chewing, so this has already won in that regard. The shape is perfect as well. She can gnaw at it, squeak, play fetch, play tug. It bounces when she throws it around herself. The fact it smells like stinky cheese is just an added bonus for her. All around, a very well designed dog toy!

Boxer Baby’s Favorite
Size: Jumbo, Style: Beef
This toy is my sweet girl’s absolute favorite. It was the first thing we gave her when we brought her home, and she has been obsessed with it since. She brings it from room to room, inside and outside. I would highly recommend this toy, however, we have gone through six in one year. They’re not very durable, especially with our boxer mix, who is a very heavy chewer. I’ve gotten the red and the blue, and she will only take red, which is fine with me because the blue STINKS. The red stinks too, but less so. The squeak is very loud, but she genuinely loves it so much that it’s hard to be annoyed by it. I’d say give the toy a try, you may be unintentionally giving them their favorite thing ever lol.
