Working closely with the triple guitar threat of Zach Householder, Alex Wade and Ben Savage, Fortin are proud to bring you the Blade, the only pedal worthy of their collective name!

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.

Boost Pedals

A boost raises signal level without deliberately creating a new effect waveform. Clean boosts emphasise level and headroom, while coloured boosts reshape bass, midrange or treble and may add mild clipping at higher settings. Placed before a gain stage, the extra level changes how that stage distorts; placed later, it can provide a volume lift if sufficient headroom remains.

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.
