Small Box Amp Tone for Your Pedalboard

This article was Written By

Our Product Research Team

Get to know them!

With the Friedman Small Box distortion pedal, now you can put the responsive, harmonically rich tone of Friedman's acclaimed Small Box amplifier on your pedalboard. A 2-way gain structure switch offers big tonal versatility: use high-gain mode for searing lead distortion tones, or switch it to the lower-gain mode and dial back the Gain knob for a dirty boost that melds perfectly with your amplifier's front end. The Small Box distortion pedal's punchy, tubelike tone can be shaped for practically any combination of guitar and amplifier with its Bass, Mid, Treble, and Presence controls.

Modded-Plexi tone in a pedal

Friedman's Small Box amplifier is beloved by players for its responsive Plexi-style tone, and the Small Box distortion pedal allows you to inject that sonorous character into your amplifier of choice. Its 2-way gain structure switch works similarly to the two different channels on the Small Box amp, ranging from a subtle dirty boost (perfect for pushing your tube amplifier into the red zone) to full-bore distortion. And with its amp-like EQ and Presence controls, Sweetwater is sure you'll be able to dial in the Small Box distortion pedal with whatever amp and guitar you prefer.

Friedman Small Box Distortion Pedal Features:

  • Overdrive/distortion pedal based on the Small Box amplifier
  • Responsive, harmonically rich tone
  • 2-way gain structure switch lets you choose between a low-gain dirty boost and high-gain distortion
  • Amp-like 3-band EQ and Presence control fine-tune your tone for any application
  • True bypass switching completely removes the circuit from your signal path when disengaged
  • Powered by 9- or 18-volt power supply (sold separately)
What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!
