Fortin Amplification · pedal
The Fortin Amplification FOURTEEN is a dual clean boost pedal from Canadian boutique metal gear maker Fortin Amplification, providing two independent clean boost channels that can run separately or together for stacked boost applications. The dual boost architecture allows players to use one channel as a standard signal boost for solos and a second channel as a permanent signal enhancer, or to stack both channels for a maximum combined boost output. Fortin Amplification designs gear specifically for high-gain metal applications, and the FOURTEEN suits players who need precise, transparent boost control in demanding metal signal chain contexts.
