Fortin Fredrik Thordendal signature 3.33 pedal on a Evidence Audio cable with signature Meshuggah guitar picks

Evolution of a Legend: The Fortin 3.33®


Years ago, the signature 33® pedal redefined the high-gain landscape. Born from a collaboration between Fredrik Thordendal and Mike Fortin to perfect the classic Integrated Pre-amp circuit, it became the "set-it-and-forget-it" gold standard.

Now, the legend evolves. The 3.33® takes everything you loved about the original and breaks the boundaries of control. Designed for the player who demands more, the 3.33® offers a comprehensive suite of tone-shaping tools that go far beyond a simple boost.

Why the 3.33®?

  • Dual-Channel Versatility: Two independent channels of legendary Fortin grit.
  • Total Tone Sculpting: Active Bass and Treble controls on each channel to fine-tune your frequency response.
  • Integrated Noise Gate: The industry-leading Fortin Zuul® is built directly into the circuit for dead-silence between notes.
  • Seamless Integration: Onboard amp switching allows the pedal to act as the command center for your entire rig.

The 33® was the foundation. The 3.33® is the future.


ABSOLUTE CONTROL

Amp channel can be changed from the "ON" stomp or the "CHANNEL" stomp. You have complete control.

2 FLAVORS, 2 CHANNELS

Each channel of your amp individually can be boosted individually, creating the most versatile METAL boost pedal available
