For the Lightspeed it’s a Silverface Fender Twin, for the Royal Velvet it’s an AC30 and for the Supa Cobra, it’s a Marshall 1960A. I worked with Carl to get for a short time three Greer pedals to try out.įor the audio samples, which are never going to win fans, the guitar is a Les Paul Axcess running into a REVV D20 using the built in Torpedo with appropriate amp and cab sims. We got to talking and he shared that for what he played, he found that the Greer pedals did what he wanted in a clean interface with excellent reliability and low noise. Now that we can actually go into stores again, I was in the shop and met a fellow who had driven in from the town of Whitby (about 45 minutes away) because he had seen that the shop was carrying Greer. I’m not compensated to write this and while I am as always extraordinarily grateful to Carl the owner of the store for making kit available to me to test, he’s also smart enough to know that if I ask to test something, his odds are pretty darn good that the only thing about it that he will see again is a transaction. I was very pleased to learn that The Arts Music Store was going to be carrying gear. I choose guitars and amps based on clean tones, that’s my thing and if there needs to be some dirt, either get it out of the amp (which usually requires volume levels that many would find a bit excessive) or with a pedal. I want to try the pedal out, with a guitar that I know and an amp that I know. Goodness knows that there are plenty of pedals that one could buy that way. I don’t pick gear because some star uses it, or because I saw an interesting video, or because I thought it sounded good in a video. So what was driving this fellow to a small pedal company out of Austin Texas?Įnquiring minds and all that, but I couldn’t find out because Greer did not have a local reseller. One would be correct that Lee Anderton could pick any pedals that he wanted, Anderton’s is after all one of the largest online music stores in the world and well respected for regular videos extolling the joys of gear to help one make music. I first heard of Greer, watching Anderton’s Music videos where owner Lee “The Captain” Anderton kept coming back on his pedal board to the Greer Lightspeed. center, 2.1mm power supply.How many dirt pedals are enough? A question for the ages perhaps, but in the eyes of Nick Greer of Greer Amplification, the answer is the ones that give you the tones that you want.
The Lightspeed Overdrive is sensitive to pick attack and has a different "feel" than other overdrives.
Blending with the tone of the guitar and amplifier, this pedal has rich harmonics and complex but smooth clipping. Why "organic"? Well, simply put, it's the clearest, most natural feeling, and best overdrive we've heard for the player looking for a natural drive tone. The Lightspeed Organic Overdrive is a very natural sounding overdrive.
