Greer Amps Lightspeed Overdrive

Low gain célokra vettem, esetleg boostolásra, de aztán jött a meglepetés.

A hangzásán és használhatóságán leesett az állam, pedig elég válogatós vagyok, ritkán van, hogy egy pedál ennyire meglep. Imádom használni. Különösen jól reagál a játékodra és a potik tekergetésére is, artikulált hangja van, behinti csillagporral a magasközép tartományt.

Kialakítása megnyerő, szeretem nézegetni.

Nincs olyan dolog, ami ne tetszene rajta, vagy benne. Természetes, reaktív, csodálatos. Ez a pedál él. Ne gondolkozz, vedd meg!

I have not used the pedal in a band context (no rehearsals or gigs due to Covid 19) therefore so far I have only used it at quiet volumes at home. I run it into a Two Notes Le Clean pre-amp and then into the input of a Quilter Tone Block 200 with the gain set to a line level which is in turn connected to a separate 1x12 closed back speaker cab. All I can say is that even with the limitations of this signal chain it sounds good and also responds well when a treble boost is used in front of it. I must admit that even when playing with a band, the volume levels are such that I do not use any of my overdrives to push an amp on the edge of break-up into a full overdriven sound, rather I use them as tone shapers to mimic an overdriven amp and I see no reason why this pedal would not do an excellent job used in this way. The quality of the product is good and this pedal has been around for a few years now and always gets good reviews by reviewers on YouTube so the track record of this overdrive speaks for itself. Must be honest - I would love to hear it live pushing a cranked amp into full overdrive though.

This pedal is awesome. Yes, it does take a little bit of dynamics away, but a) much less than other overdrive pedals (tubescreamer for instance) b) in return you will get more overdriven sound once you hit stronger in the strings. I love everything about it so far, mix of this and tele/LP/335 + Fender Champ is an absolute porn to my ears, plus it's sooo much fun to play. I don't have to crank my amp to 11 to get that sweet overdriven sound I love so much. It's not meant for heavier music, but who cares, it didn't purchase it for such purpose. Do recommend!

One of my best overdrives ever. Mind, this is a very low gain overdrive, and I always use it in conjunction with other overdrive pedals or with the dirty channel of my amp for "Drive" tones. On each own, I use it to beautifully boost/elevate the clean sounds of my amp. Its such a "clean" sounding drive with excellent clarity and no hiss or fizz, that combines seamlessly with almost everything. Its magnificent!
