Anyone using a Greer Lightspeed overdrive FX pedal?

Post by David Wren »

Played a gig with a good friend-guitarist, and he had added one of these to his FX setup. I thought it sounded great on guitar...
anyone tried this with PSG? How would it compare with a Sarno Earthdrive (which I found a really nice pedal)?
Thanks

Yep!!

Love the Greer Lightspeed. Super versatile as a fully saturated drive sound but also works great as a semi clean boost and all points in between. Can’t say enough great things about the Greer LS. Also stacks great w other drive pedals.

Sounds great Nick. Do you have a single coil, or humbucker type of pickup?

I’ve used it with single and Humbucker. It works really well as an “always on” boost. Really touch sensitive and cleans up or gets dirty as you dig in.
