Description

Meshuggah’s legendary guitarist Fredrik Thordendal’s signature 33® pedal is a sonic detonation tool that will transform any gain fueled amplifier into an unrelenting wrecking ball of metal!

At Fortin, we are renowned for chasing only the greatest metal tones imaginable. We have nothing short of laser focus to develop the most crushing modern guitar tones, tones that are worthy of an artist like Fredrik – to make a pedal he can proudly put his name to.

Through countless hours of research, design, development, prototyping, sampling, planning, reviewing and almost endless tweaking, we are proud to present the Fredrik Thordendal signature 33® pedal!

The mental control

Increase this to drive the front end of your amp harder. The more you increase it, the more your tone will start to jump out of your amp. Don’t be afraid to tweak the amp controls when your amp is reacting the way you want it to – with this level of boost, sneaky frequencies and harmonics may start to appear… make your sound your own!

Boost Pedals

A boost raises signal level without deliberately creating a new effect waveform. Clean boosts emphasise level and headroom, while coloured boosts reshape bass, midrange or treble and may add mild clipping at higher settings. Placed before a gain stage, the extra level changes how that stage distorts; placed later, it can provide a volume lift if sufficient headroom remains.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.
