Buffer
Roach
The Roach by Fortin is a 3-way signal splitter with discrete Class-A buffers. It is designed to reinstate tone and remove top-end loss caused by running a board full of true bypass pedals. The Roach has 3 outputs and is suitable for use with the Mini Zuul or Zuul+ pedals. It allows for a variety of options, including triggering a gate, recording the signal before amp saturation, and running multiple amps simultaneously. Technical Specifications: \- Built in U.S.A. \- Highest grade materials selected for superior sound, response, and reliability \- Industry Standard 3DPT true bypass mechanical stomp \- Input impedance: ~1MΩ / Output impedance: ~10kΩ minimum load \- Frequency response: 20Hz to 20kHz \- Max output: +9dBm (9VDC), +18dBm (24VDC) \- Power supply: 9-24VDC center-pin negative (fully regulated) external adapter/power supply only (not included) \- Power draw: 4mA \- Pedal Dimensions (W/D/H): 3.6” x 1.5” x 1.2” (92mm x 38mm x 31mm) excluding knobs and switches \- Shipping Weight: 360g \- Includes Fortin’s limited 1-year warranty The Roach is an exceptionally low-current circuit and can be run on a 9VDC battery for extended use, or an external power supply can be used via the DC inlet, between 9-24VDC. It features a green LED indicator for active status and a red LED for muting outputs 1-3. The pedal also includes a mosfet input to protect against the wrong orientation adapter connection.
Spliff
The Spliff by Fortin is a 3-way splitter with discrete Class-A buffers and one output transformer isolated with a phase side switch. It offers multiple signal management options, including splitter, buffer, isolation, and mute. The pedal features indicator LEDs for active and mute states, with the tuner out always active. It operates on low current and can run on a 9VDC battery or a 9-24VDC DC inlet. The pedal dimensions are 4.40 in x 2.38 in x 1.06 in (112 mm x 60 mm x 27 mm), and it has a shipping weight of 360g. The internal battery requirement is 9VDC@4mA, and the DC adapter requirement is 9-24VDC, Center Pin Negative (Regulated). The input impedance is approximately 1M and the output impedance is approximately 10k min load. The frequency response ranges from 20Hz to 20kHz, and the maximum output is +9dBm (9VDC) or +18dBm (24VDC). The pedal is proudly made in North America.

Overdrive and Boost
Grind
The Grind by Fortin is an effects pedal designed for electric guitars, offering up to +20 dB boost. It features an additional side remote 6.3 mm jack for channel switching and is equipped with controls for boost. The pedal also includes a mini slide switch to change orientation (open / closed) and an LED indicator for effects on/off. The input and output are both 6.3 mm jacks, and there is a separate jack for channel switching. The power adapter connector is a coaxial power connector, 5.5 x 2.1 mm, with negative polarity inside. The pedal can be powered via a 9 V battery or a 9 V DC power supply (not included). It has dimensions of 60 x 112 x 27 mm and weighs 360 g. The Grind by Fortin is made in Canada and comes with a limited 1-year warranty.
Hexdrive
The Hexdrive by Fortin is an analog pedal that offers new tone shaping possibilities for musicians. It transitions from clean boost into overdrive, blending both worlds. The pedal features higher headroom, different clipping overdrive, and more signal output than typical stock OD pedals. It has industry standard true bypass switching and all jacks are placed top side for tight pedal board applications. The pedal dimensions are 4.40 in x 2.38 in x 106 in (112mm x 60mm x 27mm) and it weighs 360g. The Hexdrive can be powered from an external supply or a 9vdc battery (not included). The DC adapter required is 9VDC at 25mA, with a center pin negative (regulated).
