Intermediate EFFECT TYPE DOCUMENT VERSION Amp-Like Distortion 1.0.1 (2019-03-08) PROJECT SUMMARY ® A pedal recreation of the Friedman BE-100 and Dirty Shirley amplifiers. Actual size is 2.3” x 2.42” (main board) and 1.78” x 0.86” (bypass board). TEMPEST AMP DISTORTION...
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.

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. TEMPEST AMP DISTORTION...
