Fortin 33 Meshuggah signature pedal

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Hearing more low mids in the P drive. 33 has more high end twang. About what I expected from both.

 

[lewis]

the 33 is way more up my street!. Sounds great!
Anyone running a 33 and a Grind?. Wonder how these 2 compare?. Or...work together :O

 

[theFraz]

can't wait... it's my first boost pedal ever

 

[PF Chang]

Why is the PD's attack knob at its second lowest (loosest) setting?

 

[MrYakob]

This thing sounds pretty rad, but honestly the part that gets me the most is the channel switching. What a brilliant idea, I wonder how hard this would be to mod in other boost pedals?

 

[mnemonic]

It must be a feature that Mike thought people would like. I can't imagine Fredrik and Marten would get much use out of that feature, given the Fortin Meshuggah amp is single-channel.

 

[Aso]

also, has anyone got both the 33 now and the Grind?!?!

Wana hear how it might sound running into both at the same time haha

I got my Fortin 33 last night. Also own a Grind and a hand wired Fortin Facepunch. I was playing with the 33 and a Rabid Mammal last night. Maybe I will try chaining the grind, 33 and facepunch together tonight

yeah doesnt even need to have maxed gain on all them. Just a balanced signal taking on the character of all of them. I imagine it would sound sick

Sorry that's just the way I normally use the pedal.

Here's a vid with the Sig: X. This time guitar only.

Once again preferred the 33. Significantly noisier, but god those chugs sounded fucking huge.

It would be a super easy mod as long as there's room for the jack. All your typical amp switcher does is complete the circuit between the tip and sleeve. I'm pretty sure all you would need to do is solder one end of the jack to one pole of the DPDT footswitch, and then two others to a toggle switch (so you could decide which channel is on when the pedal is on and connect that to the other end of the jack. It's basically an input jack, mini toggle, and 4 pieces of wire.

These clips are tempting me...

 

[lewis]

pair it with an ISP and you get an unreal boost. It does sound better to my ears than the PD and that takes some real doing. Mike does it again.

 

[Blytheryn]

At this point I am so not sure if I want a 33 or a Grind... Damn.

buy both and run them together haha

 

[Blytheryn]

I'm tempted! Seriously want to hear what it's like through an EVH 5150 III Stealth, have a feeling it would be absolutely obscene.

omg it would be amazing with a stealth......
I say do it. If you dislike one of them you could sell for great money still given they are a high end product and it would be basically brand new still. Could probably get like 80% of your money back.

Pretty safe investment. Worst case scenario you dont lose all your money and sell one if it disappoints, best case scenario you run two Fortin pedals together infront of one of the best sounding high gain amps on the market currently and reach a state of tonally obliterating heaven.

p.s you will need noise gates haha

You make a very good point... Hold out for a Zuul and a Grind/33?

could someone be so kind and open up his 33 and take pictures of the front and the back of the pcb?
I'll gift you some cookies or whatever, but i'd love to see the inside

Thx alot!
