The Fortin Fourteen Overdrive is a dual-channel boost and overdrive pedal that combines several of Mike Fortins most sought-after circuit modifications into one powerful professional-grade unit. Designed for players chasing ultra-tight modern metal tones saturated rock gain and highly articulate amp boosting the Fourteen delivers three distinct analogue drive voicings across two completely independent channels. Rather than relying on digital modelling each mode uses dedicated analogue circuit paths based on Fortins renowned modifications of classic overdrive platforms. Each channel can independently switch between HexDrive F9 and F808 modes allowing players to build highly flexible gain structures for rhythm lead and clean channel boosting applications. Remote amplifier switching integration allows the pedal to change amplifier channels simultaneously creating seamless transitions between different amp and drive combinations during live performances. The compact chassis houses relay-based true bypass switching high-grade internal components and rugged professional construction designed for demanding touring and studio use.

Brand
Fortin
Fortin is built for uncompromising high-gain performance, delivering tight, aggressive distortion with exceptional clarity and control. Designed with modern metal and extended-range guitars in mind, their amps and pedals focus on precision low end, cutting articulation, and crushing saturation that stays defined even under intense gain.
Choose Fortin when you want serious power without flub or muddiness. Whether it’s razor-sharp rhythm tones or fluid, sustaining leads, their gear is engineered to hit hard, stay tight, and dominate the mix with confidence.

Overdrive Pedals
Overdrive uses soft or moderate clipping to add harmonics and compression while retaining more of the original note shape than heavy distortion. Some circuits emphasise the midrange and trim bass before clipping; others remain broad, transparent or amplifier-like. Gain, clipping arrangement, headroom and tone filtering decide whether it supplies a light edge, a saturated drive sound or extra push into another gain stage.
Tags
Analogue
The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.
Digital
Converts the signal or control process into numerical data for algorithmic processing. Digital designs can provide precise timing, long memory, complex routing and repeatable presets; sample rate, conversion, internal resolution and latency influence fidelity and response.
True Bypass
Connects input directly to output through mechanical or relay switching when the effect is off, removing the active circuit from the audio path. It avoids buffer colour but leaves cable capacitance and switching design to influence high-frequency loss and possible switching noise.
