Small Footprint. Massive Impact.

They say the best things come in small packages, and the N2O Micro Boost is here to prove it - with enough force to push your amp into a total meltdown.

Fortin Amplification are known as architects of the modern "pushed" front end. From their legendary TS mods to the industry-standard 33, Hexdrive, and Fourteen, Fortin has spent decades perfecting the art of the boost. The N2O is the next evolution in that lineage: a "small but deadly" powerhouse designed to be the secret weapon on your pedalboard.

Two Voices, Zero Compromise... Why settle for one flavor of gain?

The N2O Micro Boost features a dual-voiced architecture that allows you to reshape your signal with surgical precision:

  • The Clean Boost: Transparent, high-headroom gain that respects your original tone while adding volume and "more" of everything you love.
  • The Signature Boost: The classic Fortin definition. This voice tightens the low end and adds the specific grit and punch that has defined the modern metal landscape.

Overdrive or Underdrive?
When in the flat response mode, the N2O can be used to reduce the hotness of your guitar, and make your amp Underdrive. Not only can you push you tone, you can even set your amp for your lead tone and then use the N2O for your rhythm tones!

Why Your Rig Desires the N2O:

  • Space-Saving Design: Massive tone that fits on even the most crowded boards.
  • Fortin Pedigree: Engineered by the man responsible for some of the most iconic high-gain tones in history.
  • Versatile Front-Loading: Whether you're looking to add a subtle lift to your cleans or turn a mid-gain channel into a high-gain monster, the N2O delivers.

Don’t let the size fool you. The N2O Micro Boost provides the exact saturation and definition your rig has been screaming for.

Overdrive or Underdrive?

A classic modded TS hump, or total flat boost... both are here. When in the 'flat' mode, you can use the N2O to calm down the input gain of your amp, causing the N2O to "underdrive" your amp perfectly...

Tiny, compact, terror...

At only 2" square, is this the smallest usable clean AND dirty boost available?


The finer details...
