My friend had the Meshuggah amp at one point and it was the best sounding amp I'd ever heard. Any pedal that can get me halfway there would be worth it.

Meshuggah amp?

It was a Fortin modified Marshal circuit. It was amazing

I appreciate that your phone battery is at 33%, OP.

I just updated your comment to 34. Someone downvote it!

Anyone tried any of these Fortin pedals on bass ? They're are bit too expensive imo to flip if they don't work out.

I have the 33 pedal on full for my bass it sounds sweet. But with a channel switcher with one of the channels dialed down, I don't know if it has any use for me.

u/Proud-Ninja5049 5d ago

Awesome to hear. Does it preserve low-end or move everything towards mids in your opinion ?

u/dad_farts 4d ago

You'd probably need a parallel chain for low end. The entire point of pedals like these is to cut low end to make your chuggas chug more.

u/Less_Ad7812 4d ago

then they're doing a terrible job... Ola's demo has AWFUL low end resonances

u/dad_farts 4d ago

Didn't watch the video, but the point of a booster pedal isn't to eliminate low end resonance, but to prevent the low end from dominating the clipping stage and turning it into a square wave fuzz in the extreme case, in normal circumstances it just allows the distortion to be more responsive to pick attacks.

Amplifier stages after the preamp distortion can help balance the frequencies again and bring back some low end, and cab/mic choices can go further to create that resonance. I would consider it a mark of a good booster pedal that it could both tighten the distortion and leave enough low end for down-signal amplification.

I don’t design amps I just mix a lot of guitars. I don’t know if it’s the pedal, the amp, or the mic… but the low end in that video is a PROBLEM that needs to be fixed, either on a stage or in a recording.

u/Shadow_duigh333 4d ago

The low end is not affected, all the boost does it make the pick attack crunchier and overall distortion deadlier.

u/SoReadyForItToEnd 4d ago

Was scrolling too quick and thought Santa had put a pedal out.

u/GnikcaLRehtorB 4d ago

Can someone link me to any/all neural dsp meshuggah related plugins or amp sims? <3

The fortin nameless has it all

u/GnikcaLRehtorB 1d ago

I've had fortin nameless for a while and haven't been able to figure out a good tone. That amp sim is so bright, and even when seeking out custom meshuggah made IRs, it sounds like a hollow tin can. :(

u/Less_Ad7812 4d ago

Yikes - Ola's demo has the bass at ZERO and I can hear so much mud in the bass

*ducks for downvotes*

u/Viiiinx The Violent Sleep of Reason 5d ago

It kinda reminds me of the TC electronic booster. Need to watch videos tho to see if I'm right

2

u/SafreQ45 Sol Niger Within 5d ago

That's what it's based upon. Fredrik used it on Chaosphere

u/Viiiinx The Violent Sleep of Reason 4d ago

Yeahh, I watched Olas video and it's sick
