Description

The Fortin Fourteen is a high performance overdrive and boost pedal designed for guitarists who demand precise control and exceptional tone from a single unit. It features two identical channels, each with three distinct modes inspired by iconic Tube Screamer circuits: the Fortin modded OD9/TS9, the OD808/TS808, and the unique Hexdrive. This pedal not only pushes your amplifier into new tonal territories but also offers seamless integration with your rig through an assignable side jack that controls your amp’s channel switching.

Sonically, the Fortin Fourteen delivers a rich palette of overdrive textures. The Hexdrive mode starts as a clean boost before gradually adding overdrive, maintaining the natural character of your amp while providing a sweet midrange lift at higher gain settings. The F9 mode enhances output to push your amp’s natural distortion, offering a smooth transition from a clean boost to a harmonically rich, tube like clipping with enhanced midrange definition and articulate pick attack. For players seeking more saturation, the F808 mode provides substantial output and compression, delivering a fuller distortion with a pronounced upper midrange that preserves low end warmth and emphasises harmonic complexity.

Playing the Fortin Fourteen feels intuitive and responsive. The pedal’s interactive controls invite experimentation, allowing guitarists to shape their tone dynamically. Each channel offers three simple yet effective knobs — Drive, Tone, and Level — that respond naturally to your playing style, whether you’re aiming for subtle boost or aggressive overdrive. Switching between the two channels is straightforward, supported by soft touch relay footswitches and clear red and green LEDs to indicate active channels, making it easy to navigate your sound during live performances.

The Fortin Fourteen’s control layout balances versatility with ease of use. Drive adjusts the amount of gain or clipping, Tone acts as an active EQ to brighten or darken the sound, and Level controls overall output volume. The three mode switches per channel provide quick access to classic and modern overdrive flavours, each with distinct clipping characteristics tailored to different musical styles. Additionally, the side mounted 1/4” jack connects to your amplifier’s channel switching input, enabling assignable and polarity adjustable amp channel control that synchronises perfectly with your pedalboard setup.

Underneath its features, the Fortin Fourteen’s circuit combines years of Fortin’s modification expertise to produce a pedal that honours and extends the legacy of the Tube Screamer platform. Its MOSFET input protection guards against incorrect power supplies, while the true bypass with relay switching ensures signal clarity and preserves your tone when the pedal is off. The Fortin Fourteen is powered by a standard 9V DC adaptor, making it easy to integrate into any pedalboard.

Built to last, the Fortin Fourteen boasts a robust all metal enclosure that withstands the rigours of both studio sessions and road use. Its classic yet functional graphics clearly differentiate controls and channels, complementing the aesthetics of any pedalboard without distraction. The bright LEDs provide instant visual confirmation of power and channel status, vital for performance situations where quick decisions matter.

Finally, the Fortin Fourteen comes with a warranty that supports your investment, ensuring the pedal remains reliable over time and giving you peace of mind as you explore its sonic possibilities.

In summary, the Fortin Fourteen stands out by offering two versatile channels packed with three historically significant and finely tuned overdrive modes. It delivers flexible tone shaping, robust build quality, and practical amp channel switching, making it an essential tool for guitarists looking to push their amp harder, sharpen their sound, or simply add rich, dynamic overdrive options to their rig. Whether you seek subtle boost or full on saturation, the Fortin Fourteen adapts to your style with no compromises.
