Mike kam dem Klang und, was noch wichtiger ist, dem Spielgefühl des Amps so nahe wie möglich. Wenn du das MESHUGGAH-Pedal in die Endstufe eines MESHUGGAH-Amps oder in die IR-Sektion der Neural DSP Nameless X Suite spielst, sind die klanglichen Unterschiede extrem schwer zu erkennen.

Mike got as close as he could to the tone, and most importantly, the feel of the amp. If you are to run the MESHUGGAH into the power section of a MESHUGGAH amp, or even into the IR section of the Neural DSP Nameless X suite, the tonal differences are extremely hard to hear.

All the same features as the original Zuul® but in mini-form factor!
The mini Zuul®'s threshold knob also controls the dynamics of the gate circuit. Perfect for guitar, bass or any signal source because of the high quality studio specifications.
Use in front of an amplifier or in a series effects loop. Dual colour LED for visual feedback gating action: Green = Open, Orange = Closed, Off = Bypass.
The KEY input signal can be directly from your guitar (r.e. split from Roach or Spliff) or other signal source which lets you go from clean to high gain without changing the Threshold knob. This powerful feature lets you control the gate with a different signal than what flows through the input/output jacks of the ZUUL®. Side switch (internal jumper on early versions) to change the threshold range to compensate for different input signal levels. Industry standard true bypass switching.

zuul mini

Many Fortin amps have achieved legendary status over the years - but only one has had players constantly talking, constantly chasing, constantly looking to recreate its legendary tone.

We wanted players to be able to get that tone from their own rig, be able to drop it right in and feel the brutal power, articulation and depth of gain that made the NATAS amp the legend it is.

A staggering feat of engineering, a sound and response never experienced from a gain pedal includes cascading gain stages, a perfectly placed 3 band active EQ, additional Kill gain boost and a Mid Shape (scooped or humped) tone shaper, ensures that the NATAS Distortion brings the authentic Fortin tone to a dirt pedal, for the very first time.

Natas Distortion

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.
