Fortin Amps has recently introduced a new pedal in collaboration with the renowned Swedish metal band Meshuggah, marking a significant milestone in the world of heavy music. The Meshuggah Pedal, designed by Mike Fortin, encapsulates the band’s distinctive high-gain tones in a compact and durable unit that promises to revolutionize the way guitarists achieve their desired sound.
Meshuggah, known for their intricate rhythms and powerful riffs, has been a trailblazer in the metal genre for over three decades. With the release of this signature pedal, musicians can now access the same raw energy and precision that have propelled Meshuggah to global acclaim. The pedal draws inspiration from the legendary Fortin Meshuggah amplifier head, a rare and coveted piece of equipment revered by metal guitarists worldwide.
The Fortin Meshuggah head, originally crafted in 2016, was envisioned as the ultimate amplifier to capture the evolving sonic landscape of the band, serving as the cornerstone of Fredrik Thordendal and Mårten Hagström’s signature tones. The Meshuggah Pedal aims to replicate the essence of this iconic amplifier, offering users a seamless transition from the amp to the stompbox without compromising on tone or performance.
Fortin Amps assures users that the Meshuggah Pedal delivers a faithful representation of the amplifier’s sound and feel, making it an indispensable tool for musicians seeking to emulate Meshuggah’s distinct heavy tones. The pedal features a highly interactive 3-band EQ, allowing for precise frequency shaping with both cut and boost options, while the inclusion of two footswitchable channels and Hi/Lo gain modes provides a versatile platform for exploring a wide range of textures.
One of the standout features of the Meshuggah Pedal is the built-in Fortin Zuul noise gate, essential for achieving the tight and articulate staccato riffs synonymous with Meshuggah’s sound. The pedal’s Hi Gain mode offers a compressed and modern voicing ideal for contemporary metal styles, while the Lo mode delivers a more open and vintage feel, catering to a diverse range of playing preferences.
Priced at USD 349, the Meshuggah Pedal is a cost-effective solution for guitarists seeking high-gain tones in a portable format. Compatible with a 9V DC power supply, the pedal is designed to integrate seamlessly into any pedalboard setup, offering a convenient and efficient way to access Meshuggah’s signature sound.
With the release of the Meshuggah Pedal, Fortin Amps and Meshuggah have set a new standard in the world of metal music gear, providing musicians with a powerful tool to unleash their creativity and push the boundaries of heavy music.
