DESCRIPTION

The Grind is a tone enhancing boost pedal by Fortin Amplification. Designed for guitarists and bassists, it plugs into your rig to deliver a focused, frequency selective lift, bringing life and intensity to your amplifier’s tone. Whether your amp is valve driven or solid state, it tightens and energises your sound without colouring your playing.

When you switch it on, the Fortin Amplification Grind gives your rig newfound presence. Up to +20 dB of boost adds strength and precision to your playing, yet the remarkably low noise floor and high input impedance preserve your instrument’s character, every nuance comes through with clarity. It teases out overtones and hidden harmonics you may not even have known were there, turning your tone into something vivid and expressive.

Playing through the Fortin Amplification Grind feels immediate and alive. As you drive or back off the boost, you can feel the change in dynamic response, from a tight mid lift that cuts through, to a more scooped texture bursting with harmonic richness. It’s responsive whether you're laying in rhythm parts or diving into articulate leads, making it feel less like another pedal and more like an extension of your playing.

At the heart of the Fortin Amplification Grind is a single, intuitive control: the GRIND knob. Turn it one way for a mid pushed tone that tightens everything up, turn it the other for a scooped sweep that lets harmonics sing. Pair that with a simple bypass switch and LED power indicator, visible even under stage lights and you’ve got a setup that’s immediate and unambiguous under your foot.

Fortin’s electronics deliver real transparency when the Grind is off, thanks to true bypass switching and top mounted jacks, perfect for compact and tidy pedalboard layouts. The side remote 1/4″ jack, fitted with a mini slide switch, lets you send the Grind’s boost to a specific channel on your amp, ideal for handcrafted rigs where you only want colour on one setting.

Built from a robust metal enclosure, the Fortin Amplification Grind is durable and its form follows function with respect to practicality. The graphics are minimal but purposeful, making it easy to spot the control and engage the pedal quickly during a gig.

The LED clearly shows when the effect is engaged, ensuring you’re always confident it’s doing its work on stage.

Connectivity is designed with ease in mind: top side input and output jacks keep your board layout neat, and the side channel switch jack integrates seamlessly with amp rigs. Power it with a regulated 9 V DC supply (centre negative) for lean, tidy and reliable performance.

Fortin Amplification backs the Grind with a one year limited warranty, offering peace of mind for your investment.

In summary, the Fortin Amplification Grind  tands out for its ability to bring depth, clarity, and harmonic life to your rig. With straightforward controls, thoughtful routing options, and resilient build quality, it shapes tone without getting in the way, making it an asset for any serious guitarist or bassist looking to bring their sound into sharper focus.

• Output impedance ~1.5 kΩ maintains signal integrity across rigs
• Compact all metal enclosure built for durability and roadworthiness
• Side jack and mini switch allow amp channel assignment without extra pedals
• Circuit maximises low noise floor while enhancing harmonic richness
• Top mounted input and output jacks support tidy pedalboard layouts
• Proprietary Fortin circuitry designed to interact naturally with tube and solid state amps

Current draw may vary slightly depending on control settings, circuit behaviour, and active features such as gain stages, modulation, filtering, or reverb tails. For best performance, use a high quality isolated power supply that matches the pedal’s current requirements. Always refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations, as incorrect powering may cause damage.
