Fortin Sigil 20w Valve Head Overview
Fierce and fearless. That is exactly what the Fortin Sigil 20w Valve Head is. It might be compact, which lends itself to travelling from gig to gig, but it produces an immense sound that will push your music to its limits. With two channels, both with individual gain and master controls, you have the utmost control to project shimmering clarity before sending a wave of fire and distortion through the room. Perform with the freedom to decide just how much power you're using thanks to the innovative Standby switch. It features a HIGH power mode for the full 20W and a LOW power mode which reduces to just 6W, meaning you can completely sculpt your attack. From mellower tones to hard-hitting, crushing bass, the choice is all yours.
The beauty of this amp is that it thrives when used in conjunction with pedals and effects in your signal chain. The tube driven FX Loop is instrument level ready for stomp boxes and rack effects whilst Channel 1 welcomes boost and overdrive pedals. Built for crazy levels of sound and insane amounts of gain, you can connect your pedals with ease knowing the Fortin Sigil 20w Valve Head will amplify them to their full potential and make you sound better than you ever have before.

View Full DescriptionGain, gain, and more gain
Built for absolute destruction of your speakers (not literally, of course), this valve head delivers the most immense gain levels that bring new dimensions to your sound. Channel 1 features a push/pull gain boost that is perfect for sudden changes in tone; it allows for glistening, clean tones and obscene overdrive. The push/pull aspect of the control means you can go between the two tones in the blink of an eye, promising jaw-dropping impact. Channel 2 goes one step further and features four stages of gain, so you can really tailor your sound. From punchy attack to full-blown distortion, this channel allows you to gradually shape your tone rather than the immediate change Channel 1 offers. The two gain controls are ideal for avid rock and metal guitarists who want a superb, powerful sound whilst still retaining clarity.
Sculpt your tone
Experience the wonders of amazing versatility. The Fortin Sigil 20w Valve Head encompasses a range of features that make it suitable for you to shape it as your own. With EQ controls shared between the two channels, the ease in which you can finetune your frequency range is exceptional. From heavy bass to sparkling trebles, the possibilities have no limits. Better still, this amp head begs the addition of pedals for a mind-blowing tone. It teams well with boost and overdrive effects to push your music to the absolute max. And thanks to the four 12AX7 pre-amp valves and two 6V6 power amp valves you can be sure it has the strength and power to form such an enormous sound.
