Fortin Amplification 3.33 Fredrik Thordendal Signature Dual Boost

General

The Fortin Amplification 3.33 Fredrik Thordendal Signature Dual Boost was developed in collaboration with Meshuggah guitarist Fredrik Thordendal and Mike Fortin. Building on the original 33, the 3.33 offers more options for precisely shaping your guitar tone. The pedal features two independent boost channels, allowing you to utilise different boost characteristics. With active bass and treble controls per channel, you can further fine-tune the frequency response. As such, the 3.33 is aimed at guitarists who want maximum control over a powerful, modern high-gain sound.

Controls and tone shaping

The 3.33 combines the two boost channels with an integrated Fortin ZUUL noise gate. Volume, Bass and Treble controls are available for each channel, whilst the Zuul Threshold control offers control over the noise gate. The bypass and CH 3/33 switches allow you to operate the main functions directly from the pedal. In addition, the 3.33 features amp switching, allowing the pedal to act as a command centre for switching between amplifier channels. The connections consist of an input, a 9V DC socket, an output and a TRS switch output for the additional switching options.

Power supply and construction

The Fortin Amplification 3.33 operates on 9V DC with a centre-negative connection and has a current draw of 115 mA. The power supply is not included. Measuring 12.2 x 6.7 x 3.95 cm, excluding knobs and switches, the pedal takes up relatively little space on a pedalboard. It weighs 400 grams. The 3.33 is manufactured in the United States and has been designed as a versatile signature boost for guitarists who wish to further refine and shape their amp tone.
