Greer Amps Lightspeed Organic Overdrive

The Lightspeed Organic Overdrive from Greer Amps has been everywhere around the guitar community for the last year or so, and I had to see what the deal was with this pristine-looking (and, as it turns out, sounding) effects pedal from good old Athens, Georgia. I’ve been looking for a kind of Boost / Light Drive to push my signal a little bit up front, and it seemed like this just might be a perfect fit.

There’s no Physics Degree from UGA required to work this simple beauty: Loudness is your volume control, Freq is your eq or tone-shaper and Drive, of course, controls the Drive. The tonal range in this pedal is immense, and really allows you to hone your sound and use the Lightspeed to boost not only your decibel level, but your guitar’s overall sonic properties, too. The Drive section is fantastic: around 9:00 there is a nice, crisp boost to your guitar’s signal, 12:00 boasts a bit of a slight drive, perfect to add a bit of grit to your sound, and after 3:00 it gets warm and rich, propelling your amp into the sweet sonic spot we all chase.

This is the kind of pedal that you throw into your signal chain, set it up to your liking, hit ON and never touch it again. It plays really nicely with other pedals, too, and figuring out the different combos and where they work in your songs is an entertaining task as well. A great boost, an excellent tone-enhancer and a lovely light overdrive, the Lightspeed again captures some of Greer Amps magic in a smooth, blue stompbox.

Another great pedal from Greer Amps – these guys just keep putting out killer pedal after killer pedal. The Lightspeed had found a comfortable home on my pedalboard, and it’s not moving anytime soon. Thanks to Nick and everyone at Greer for allowing me to test this gorgeous pedal out, looking forward to all that’s to come from these guys in the future, go check ’em out!
