PRELOVED Fortin Tempest Overdrive / Boost Pedal
The Fortin Tempest Overdrive is a high-output overdrive and boost pedal built for tight, aggressive guitar tones. Designed with Josh Middleton and Adam Christianson from Architects, the Tempest is made to push an amp hard while keeping the low end controlled and the attack sharp.
It works brilliantly as a modern metal boost, but it is not limited to heavy tones. With Gain, Level, Low and High controls, the Tempest gives you practical tone shaping for tightening an amp, boosting leads, adding saturation or bringing more focus to a driven rig.

Why Players Like It
The Tempest is a great choice for players who want a boost that tightens up the front end of an amp without turning the sound thin or harsh. Set the gain low and the level high for tight modern rhythm work, or bring the gain up for extra sustain and more saturated lead tones.
The Low and High controls make it especially useful for dialing in different amps, cabs and guitars, letting you trim the response in a practical way rather than fighting your rig.
