Description

The Fortin Amplification 33 Mini is a compact high gain boost pedal crafted for guitarists who demand precise, aggressive tone and instant response from a single, intuitive unit. Designed in collaboration with Meshuggah’s Fredrik Thordendal, the Fortin Amplification 33 Mini transforms any high gain amplifier into a focused, punchy machine, ideal for metal and hard rock players as well as downtuned instruments. With a single Boost knob and a simple, no nonsense layout, it puts control of gain, attack, and low end focus directly under the player’s foot.

Sonically, the Fortin Amplification 33 Mini delivers a precise, tight tone that cuts through the mix. Its bass cut design keeps low frequencies controlled and punchy, while the high gain boost adds bite and aggression without sacrificing note clarity. As the Boost is increased, the pedal drives the amp harder, revealing subtle harmonics and enhancing attack, making riffs and leads more articulate and dynamic. Whether used to push an already saturated amplifier or to add definition to a single channel rig, the Fortin Amplification 33 Mini provides a powerful, modern metal sound that retains clarity and focus even under heavy distortion.

Playing the Fortin Amplification 33 Mini feels direct and responsive. The single Boost control reacts naturally to your picking dynamics, allowing expressive control over gain and tone with minimal fuss. It encourages interaction with your amp’s own controls, offering the ability to shape your sound dynamically while maintaining consistency across settings. The Fortin Amplification 33 Mini’s intuitive operation and compact footprint make it easy to incorporate into any pedalboard without disrupting signal flow or stage layout.

The control is simple yet effective: the Boost knob governs both gain and tonal focus, making it easy to find the sweet spot for rhythm or lead tones. The side mounted 6.3 mm jack provides assignable amp channel switching, giving players additional versatility without cluttering the pedal’s interface.

Inside, the Fortin Amplification 33 Mini’s circuit has been tuned to deliver maximum gain, attack, and clarity while remaining transparent to the amp’s character. The industry standard 3PDT mechanical true bypass ensures your tone stays intact when the pedal is disengaged, and the robust MOSFET input protection guards against power issues. Every element of the circuit has been designed to ensure fast response, dynamic sensitivity, and rich harmonic content.

Built to endure, the Fortin Amplification 33 Mini features a sturdy all metal enclosure finished in matte black with clear, functional graphics. The bright LED indicator shows when the pedal is active, allowing easy visual confirmation on stage or in low light environments. Input and output jacks are conveniently placed for practical pedalboard integration, while the compact size preserves space without compromising functionality.

Powered by a 9V DC adapter or battery, making it pedalboard friendly and reliable. Fortin Amplification’s limited 1 year warranty provides peace of mind, ensuring your investment is protected.

In summary, the Fortin Amplification 33 Mini is a tightly focused, high gain boost pedal that delivers aggressive, precise tones with minimal fuss. Its simple control layout, tonal versatility, and robust build make it ideal for metal, hard rock, and downtuned guitarists seeking a powerful boost that enhances both rhythm and lead playing. Small in size but uncompromising in sound, the Fortin Amplification 33 Mini is a key tool for any rig that demands intensity, clarity, and control.
