The Evolution of Precision: Announcing the Fortin 3.33 Dual Boost

For over a decade, Fortin Amplification and Fredrik Thordendal - the mastermind guitarist of Meshuggah - have reshaped the modern metal tone landscape. When down-tuned 8-string guitars began dominating heavy music, standard overdrives and clean boosts struggled to maintain clarity. Low frequencies turned to mud, notes lost tracking, and transient attacks got swallowed in high-gain amplification.

Enter Mike Fortin and Fredrik Thordendal's collaborative lineage: a relentless pursuit to carve out low-end flub while sharpening the front-end attack of high-gain amplifiers. Now, building upon the iconic legacy of the original 33 boost pedal, Fortin introduces the 3.33 Dual Boost.

The Legacy: From Meshuggah’s Custom Rigs to the Original "33"

To understand the 3.33 Dual Boost, one must look back at how Fortin and Thordendal changed guitar gear history.

When Meshuggah pioneered ultra-low tuning, standard boosts like traditional Tube Screamers shifted too many mid-range frequencies, clouding the attack of extended-range guitars. Fredrik required an ultra-clean, surgical level of gain boost - one that tightened the low-end, aggressively focused the upper-mids, and provided unmatched signal strength to punish the front-end of tube amps.

This led to the creation of the original Fortin 33 - a signature booster built specifically to lock in Thordendal’s legendary rhythm tone. Known for its single control knob, massive boost capability (up to +22dB), and side-jack switching integration for amplifier channel changing, the original 33 became an essential staple on metal pedalboards worldwide.

What Makes the 3.33 Dual Boost the Ultimate Evolution?

The new 3.33 Dual Boost takes everything players loved about the original circuit and doubles down on sonic versatility, flexibility, and stage control.

Key Features & Sonic Capabilities:

  • Dual-Channel Flexibility: Unlike its single-knob predecessor, the 3.33 gives players independent level controls across two switchable boost states, allowing seamless toggles between tight rhythm tracking and scorching lead levels.
  • Surgical Low-End Tightening: Custom-designed filter curve cuts unnecessary sub-bass mud before it hits your amplifier, keeping 7-string, 8-string, and baritone low-end tight, punchy, and articulate.
  • Transparent High-Output Headroom: Provides pristine, high-headroom signal boost without introducing unwanted gain harshness or altering your guitar's core pickup character.
  • Integrated Amp Switching Remote: Built-in jack allows simultaneous switching of amp channels alongside pedal activation, streamlining complex live setups.
  • Rugged Tour-Ready Enclosure: Built in a compact, road-tested chassis with high-grade components designed to withstand grueling tour schedules.
