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 lazer 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 reactng the way you want it to - with this level of boost, sneaky frequencies and harmonics may start to appear... make your sound your own!

My guitarist boyfriend who made his own quake bass plugin was the recipient. He’s more than thrilled. Only complaint is I didn’t realize he’d like it so much he’s always chugging now 😭🤣

Instant fav
It’s replaced 3 pedals on my board and it has one knob… It’s an instant win. 11/10

Fortin 33
This pedal is awesome! I put it in front of my two channel dual rec. basically all I can say is it did everything I wanted it to do. The orange channel has a whole new attitude. The red channel is pushed in to modern territory but retains the low end chonk that I loved about mesa. I have tried a bunch of other TS and boost style pedals to basically try and get this sound. In the end I wish I would have just bit the bullet and bought this about 4 years ago.

Ever wonder how you would be able to achieve the perfect metal tone? You need this, the sound your fx will be tight, with just one knob, no having to adjust anything is the perfection of tone

Best lead tone!
I've needed a reliable and reputable company to sell me a true bypass clean boost and this pedal did not disappoint! The best lead tone I've had!
Currently running through my Mesa Boogie Badlander 50 on Channel 2 on the crunch setting and my leads absolutely slay! Best pedal company for metal!
Planning on doing way more buisness in the future with these guys.
The new king of boost pedals.Much better high-end content, harmonic response is just so much better, and I get far more sustain out of the pedal with little noise floor. Great job, Fortin! - Seunghyun S.
Best thing I’ve ever played through - Completely fixed my tone I love it, it pushed my amp just enough to really open it up and it sounds amazing! - Kevin B.
Wow - The lower string in 7/8 str guitars or downtuned can be a bit muddy: not with this beast! - Luca F.
Frequently asked Questions
Does Fredrik use the 33?
Oh yes, he has it in his studio and his live rig!
Are the regular 33 and the Mini the same?
They are, the only difference is the physical size!
What do the switch and the Jack on the side do?
We think that you may only want to use the 33 on only one channel of your amp. All you have to do is plug a cable from the side jack to the channel changer on the your amp, and when you turn the 33 on or off the channel on your amp will change. The switch is to change the polarity so you can decide which channel you want to have the 33 on!
