Get ready to elevate your tone with the MESHUGGAH Pedal - a groundbreaking creation that embodies the raw power and precision of one of metal's most legendary bands. Crafted in collaboration with the sonic visionaries of MESHUGGAH and the innovative mind of Mike Fortin, this pedal is designed for guitarists who crave an unrelenting, aggressive tone that stands out in any mix.

For over 30 years, MESHUGGAH have redefined the landscape of metal with their intricate rhythms and powerhouse riffs. With each release, they’ve pushed the boundaries of what heavy music can be, and now you can harness that same attitude in your rig.

Imagine the roaring intensity of MESHUGGAH’S live performances echoing through your rig. With this pedal, you don’t just play music; you create an audio experience. Layer your riffs with complex harmonic excitement and dive into a world where your guitar can express the chaos and beauty that metal embodies.

The MESHUGGAH Pedal isn’t just a pedal; it’s an experience. It invites you to join a community of like-minded musicians who understand the power of sound. Step into the world of MESHUGGAH and take your tone to unprecedented heights.

For over three decades, Meshuggah has not just played metal - they have engineered it. From the foundational thall of "Destroy,Erase, Improve" to the surgical violence of Immutable, their sound is defined by one thing: Unrelenting Clarity. Now, the secret to that seismic, low-end definition is available for your rig. Crafted in direct collaboration between the sonic visionaries of Meshuggah and the innovative mind of Mike Fortin, this pedal is the culmination of 33 years of rhythmic evolution.

Harness the Power of the "I". This isn't just a distortion; it’s a specialized preamp designed to handle the massive harmonic demands of extended-range guitars. Whether you are wielding an 8-string or a down-tuned 6, the MESHUGGAH pedal provides:

- Surgical Low-End Tightness: Eliminate the mud. This circuit is tuned to keep your low 'F' string articulate, even under extreme gain.
- Complex Harmonic Excitement: Layer your riffs with the same roaring intensity heard on "Koloss" and "The Violent Sleep of Reason".
- The Fortin Signature: Experience the brutal, mid-forward "push" that allows complex, polyrhythmic patterns to cut through any mix with terrifying focus.

Don't Just Play Riffs. Construct Audio Architecture. Imagine the weight of a live Meshuggah performance vibrating through your speakers. The MESHUGGAH pedal delivers that exact "mechanical" feel - where every palm mute is a percussive strike and every chord is a wall of controlled chaos.

This is the tool for the uncompromising musician. It is the sound of the future of heavy music. Join the collective. Elevate your frequency.

The industry standard Fortin Zuul noise gate sits inside

Q: How much power does the Meshuggah need?
A: The Meshuggah is quite power hungry which is why there is no battery clip - the power draw is about 106mA at 9v.It is vitally important you power the Meshuggah with a high quality power supply!
Q: Is the EQ active or passive?
A: The EQ is a hugely responsive 3 band active EQ, so you don't just cut frequencies, you can add them!
Q: Is the pedal the same as the Meshuggah amp from Fortin?
A: Mike got as close as he could to the tone, and most importantly, the feel of the amp. If you are to run the MESHUGGAH into the power section of a MESHUGGAH amp, or even into the IR section of the Neural DSP Nameless X suite, the tonal differences are extremely hard to hear.
