Fortin Amps revealed the Fourteen, a dual overdrive pedal, on 15 May 2025. The pedal combines TS808, TS9 and Hexdrive-style tones in one compact green enclosure1.
The Fourteen has two identical channels, each with three modes: HD (HexDrive), F9 and F8081. Fortin describes HD as ranging from a clean boost to a rich overdrive; F9 as offering a significant output boost that stays clean at low Drive settings and moves into tube-like overdrive as Drive rises; and F808 as the highest-output, highest-saturation mode, usable as an amp booster or a full distortion1. Guitar Pedal X reports that F9's level output is twice that of HD, and F808's is three times that of HD2. Each channel carries Gain, Tone and Level controls1. A CH 1/2 footswitch selects between the channels, marked red for Channel 1 and green for Channel 21.
The pedal has true bypass and a relay-based soft footswitch, and it powers up in its last-used state1. A 1/4-inch side jack handles amp channel switching, with a polarity switcher assigning either side of the pedal to either amp channel1. Guitar Pedal X describes the sync settings as N.C./N.O. polarity and CH/On, set with two slider switches2.
Fortin builds its pedals in the USA, and the Fourteen ships from the Fortin site from 19 May1. The MSRP is USD 249.991. Guitar Pedal X listed it at $249 on the Fortin Amplification Webstore2.
"The new design features two identical channels, each offering three distinct modes"
Guitar Pedal X's Stefan Karlsson called it "an intriguing evolution of Tube Screamer which features all of Mike Fortin's key Screamer Mods"2.
