Channel the chaos! The Fortin MESHUGGAH pedal is your all-access pass to math-metal mayhem, turning your tone into a snarling beast with surgical precision. Built with input from the masters of low-end destruction themselves, this dual-channel monster delivers gnarled gain, surgical EQ, and the kind of aggression that makes amps sweat. Not for the faint of tone.
The Fortin MESHUGGAH Pedal isn’t just a signature stompbox — it’s a declaration of sonic war. Co-designed by amp wizard Mike Fortin and the members of MESHUGGAH, this pedal distills over 30 years of genre-defining precision and brutality into a tool that brings that same surgical aggression to your pedalboard.
Under the hood, you’ll find two footswitchable channels — CH1 with an extra gain stage for pure savagery, and CH2 for articulate rhythm precision. Active Bass, Mid, Treble controls let you shape the EQ with amp-like flexibility, and the LO/HI switch toggles between classic saturation and full-bore high-gain meltdown. Add in a +30dB Master Volume Control, and this becomes a legit preamp in a box.
Designed for modern rigs, the MESHUGGAH pedal works equally well in front of an amp or directly into a power amp/fx return. It’s built tough, runs on standard 9V, and includes Fortin’s signature relay-based true bypass.
From tight djent rhythms to chaotic solos, the MESHUGGAH pedal gives you the tools to push harder, sound meaner, and never blend in.
