What is the Friedman Smallbox Overdrive?
It is a guitar effect pedal that delivers the overdrive tone of the Friedman Smallbox amplifier in a compact pedal form. It features a Gain, Volume, and Tone control for shaping your sound.
How do I power it?
Use a standard 9V DC power supply with center negative polarity. The pedal draws about 30mA. You can also use a 9V battery inside.
Can I run it at 18V?
Yes, many users run it at 18V for higher headroom and a cleaner sound. Do not exceed 24V as this can damage the pedal.
Is the pedal true bypass?
Yes, the Smallbox Overdrive features true bypass switching, ensuring your guitar signal remains unaffected when the pedal is off.
What controls are on the pedal?
It has controls for Volume, Tone, Gain, and a Presence knob. The addition of a Tight switch provides extra low-end control.
How do I set it for a classic rock tone?
Start with Gain at 12 o'clock, Volume to match your amp, and Tone at 12 o'clock. Adjust to taste. This gives a punchy, vintage-style overdrive suitable for classic rock.
Can I use it with bass guitar?
Yes, it is designed for guitar, but it can work with bass. Use the Tone and Volume controls to compensate for the lower frequencies. Some users prefer a clean blend for bass.
How do I clean the pedal?
Use a soft dry cloth to wipe the exterior. For jacks and knobs, use a contact cleaner. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
What is the warranty?
Friedman offers a 2-year limited warranty for defects in materials and workmanship. Keep your receipt for proof of purchase.
Why is there noise when the pedal is on?
Noise may be caused by a poor power supply, cable issues, or high gain settings. Use a regulated power supply and keep the pedal away from transformers. Also, check the battery condition.
