Description

The FOURTEEN is the pinnacle of Mike Fortin's modification philosophy.
Improved on the coveted circuitry that made his custom TS models a secret weapon for discerning guitarists worldwide, the FOURTEEN builds on the tradition of the acclaimed Fortin Hexdrive, meticulously tweaking two additional modes for the harmonically rich, dynamic response that has established Fortin as the authority on overdrive modifications. The FOURTEEN has everything you need to take your amp tone to new heights (and get aggressive when needed).

The FOURTEEN is more than just a TS-style pedal; it combines three of Mike's most beloved TS-Mods into one pedal.
With two identical channels each with three unique modes (plus a 1/4" side jack for seamless amp channel switching), FOURTEEN gives you complete control without compromise. Each of the three modes represents a milestone in pedal history, including the legendary Fortin-modified OD9/TS9, OD808/TS808, and the iconic Hexdrive.
With amp channel switching and assignable drive, the FOURTEEN is an essential tool for anyone seeking pure, unwavering power and tone control.
Make your amp sound better than ever.

■ Control
On: True bypass, relay-based soft footswitch. *FOURTEEN powers up in the same state as when it is turned off.
CH 1/2: Red is channel 1 (upper control), green is channel 2 (lower control).
Drive: Controls the amount of clipping/gain in the circuit.
Tone: Controls the clarity of the signal. As it is an active control, it can boost as well as cut frequencies.
Level: Controls the output level of the pedal.

HD Mode: HexDrive mode offers heavy musicians new tone-shaping possibilities. HD goes from clean boost to overdrive, giving you the best of both worlds. The DRIVE sweep is key. It doesn't add distortion until around 10-11 o'clock, so you can drive the front end of your amp while still enjoying its natural character. Increasing the gain pushes out a sweet midrange, further elevating your tone.

F9 Mode: This F9 mode gradually increases the output level, providing a more natural drive feel without compromising the amplifier's character. F9 mode employs an alternative clipping circuit, providing a clean boost even with the DRIVE control turned counterclockwise. Increasing the DRIVE produces a more natural, tube-like sound compared to traditional drive. F9 also enhances the midrange and emphasizes harmonics for a clearer pick attack. The LEVEL output is twice that of HD mode.

F808 Mode: The F808 surpasses the other two modes in output level and saturation, functioning as both an amp booster and a pure distortion pedal. The primary clipping stage, coupled with an additional secondary clipping stage via the DRIVE control, creates a natural breakup. This additional gain stage provides a natural, tube-like overdrive sound with increased compression and organic bloom as the DRIVE control is turned clockwise. This mode enhances the upper midrange, accentuating pick attack and harmonics while retaining deep low frequencies. LEVEL output is three times that of HD mode.
