2 Introduction & Usage

INTRODUCTION

The Tempest Amp Distortion is a combination of the Friedman

very similar circuits that were designed to emulate high-gain amplifiers.

It's not a true amp emulator of the sort that replace the tubes with JFETs, as Runoffgroove is famous

for. Instead, it's fully driven by op-amps, but very carefully designed in a way to mimic the response and

character of a Friedman amplifier. And by all accounts it has succeeded, quickly becoming one of the

most revered "amp in a box" pedals on the scene today.

The original Friedman BE-OD is missing a midrange control, while the Dirty Shirley has a midrange

control but converts the Tight knob into a toggle switch. The Tempest project combines these together,

preserving the midrange control while also leaving the Tight control as a knob instead of a switch, for a

total of seven knobs.

USAGE

The Tempest has the following controls, which correspond to the same controls on the BE-100 or Dirty

Shirley amplifiers.

• Gain is the overall distortion or drive level of the effect.

• Volume controls the overall output of the effect.

• Presence is low-pass filter that sets the high-end cutoff frequency between 1.3 KHz and 7.2 KHz.

• Tight is a high-pass filter that sets the low-end cutoff frequency between 150Hz and 3.3 KHz near

the beginning of the circuit.

• Bass, Mid and Treble form a 3-band EQ. These controls are all at different stages in the circuit, so

they are not interactive with each other in the same way that a Marshall or Fender-style tonestack

would be.
