INTRODUCTION

The Tempest Amp Distortion is a combination of the Friedman®BE-OD and Dirty Shirley pedals, two

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.

PARTS LIST

This parts list is also available in a spreadsheet format which can be imported directly into Mouser for

easy parts ordering. Mouser doesn’t carry all the parts (most notably potentiometers) so the second tab

lists all the non-Mouser parts as well as sources for each.

BUILD NOTES

Circuit architecture

This circuit has several cascaded gain & clipping stages, but overall it’s pretty linear without a lot of

interaction between the sections. Here is a block diagram of how the circuit is arranged:

Setting the gain trimmer

The circuit has an on-board internal trimmer to adjust the overall gain range of the circuit. This is

different from the external gain control. As you can see in the block diagram above, this gain stage

comes after the two soft-clipping stages, but before the final hard-clipping stage. It’s a simple op-amp

stage that boosts or cuts the signal going into the hard clipping stage, so it primarily impacts the amount

of hard clipping.

At its stock setting of 12:00, the pedal could be considered a medium-gain drive. By turning it up, you

can shift it into the mid-to-high gain range.

Conversely, by turning it down, you can have better control over the low gain range, but the pedal will

lack the high-gain tones that you might expect from it.

DRILL TEMPLATE

Cut out this drill template, fold the edges and tape it to the enclosure. Before drilling, it’s recommended

to first use a center punch for each of the holes to help guide the drill bit.

Ensure that this template is printed at 100% or “Actual Size”. You can double-check this by measuring

the scale on the printed page.

Top jack layout requires the use of closed-frame jacks like the Switchcraft 111X. Open-frame jacks will

not fit in layouts with 5 or more knobs due to the placement of the DC jack.

LED hole drill size assumes the use of a 5mm LED bezel, available from several parts suppliers. Adjust

size accordingly if using something different, such as a 3mm bezel, a plastic bezel, or just a plain LED.
