Fortin turns Fredrik Thordendal 33 Boost into dual-channel 3.33
September 29, 2026 · 2 sources
Fortin has expanded Fredrik Thordendal's signature 33 Boost into the 3.33 Dual Channel Boost/Overdrive, a two-channel pedal with seven knobs, two footswitches, a built-in Zuul noise gate and amp channel controls1. Guitar Pedal X reported the pedal on September 29, 20261.
The 3.33 splits into Channel 3, marked with a red LED and the top row of knobs, and Channel 33, marked with a green LED and the bottom row2. Each channel carries Volume, Bass and Treble, with the EQ controls described as active2. A seventh knob sets the threshold of the integrated Zuul noise gate21. The On footswitch is relay-based true bypass and powers the pedal up in the state it was switched off, while the CH 1/2 footswitch selects between the two channels2.
The side of the pedal carries the amp channel controls: a 1/4-inch TRS amp channel jack, an NC/NO polarity switch and a CH/ON assign switch1. Fortin says the amp channel can be changed from either the On stomp or the Channel stomp, and that remote switching lets the pedal change the amp's channel at the same time it is activated, or when the channel is changed on the pedal2. A polarity switcher assigns either side of the pedal to either channel of the amp2.
"The 33 ® was the foundation. The 3.33 ® is the future."
