HOME / EFFECTS AND PEDALS / 33® - Fredrik Thordendal Signature Pedal
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 boost level control provides up to +22dB of clean boost with added side remote 1/4” jack for channel switching with a mini slide switch. There is no need to tap dance, if you want one channel on your amp boosted and the other not, the 33® changes the channel on your amp and automatically applies the boost.
There are two things to remember when using the 33®. You may not need as much gain as you usually do, as the front of the amp is being hit hard, the gain will be increased the more you open up the 33®.
The 33® has top mounted jacks and DC inlet for tight pedal board mounting applications. Matte black powder coat finish with gloss black screening for a killer blacked out look. As with all Fortin pedals, the 33® is proudly built in North America.

I bought the pedal for boosting my 3 channel recto in low tunings ( Drop A#, A#, A, G#). The pedal really helps to remove mud from sound and add armor penetrating highs to sound of my guitars. Highly recomment the pedal for modern metal players, which wants to bring a life for their amps, that born in 90 or early 2000.
One of the best boosts. It's in my top 2 along with peper's dirty tree. Love it with recto style amps and other's that suffer a bit of low end bloat.
This pedal does something that is hard to describe, but makes a substantial contribution to the overall sound. It seems to push the front end at some targeted frequencies that tighten up the low end (while giving it some extra punch), and also to accentuate the higher frequencies to create some clarity. It works really well out in front of my Diezel Einstein and especially with higher gain settings. This, plus a Zuul in the effects loop turns a great amp into more of a flame thrower.
I've been on the search for that perfect boost pedal that would finally dethrone the Electric Eye Audio Mud Killer overdrive I've been using for a long time. Turns out, Fortin did, and they delivered on the 33. 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!
Fortin pedals are absolute magic. I have a zuul, zull+, hexdrive, spliff, roach and now a 33. I couldn't resist the July 4th promotion. I need a third zuul so I can complete my wet/dry/wet signal.
The 33 is different to say the least, just get one. You feel it in the strings while it's engaged.
Thank you.
