Description

here at Just Pedals we love this Greer Amps Lightspeed Organic Overdrive.

The Lightspeed is one of the most popular pedals from Greer amps and for good reason! It sounds incredible.

It is a transparent overdrive that was built to specifically keep the organic sound of your guitar without altering the tonality too much. However, it can be set to ‘colour’ the sound a bit more and push a clean amp over the edge or add sweet sustain to an already driven channel.

Born in the USA

Greer Amps pedals are all made in the USA by a small team that value quality over everything else. Each pedal is made to order and goes through a rigourous quality control process before leaving the factory so you know you’re getting a quality product that’s been looked at by a human before getting to you. Meaning, it’s not just a factory churned product.

Here’s what Greer Amps say about the Lightspeed

The Lightspeed Organic Overdrive is a very natural sounding overdrive. 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.  Blending with the tone of the guitar and amplifier, this pedal has rich harmonics and complex but smooth clipping. The Lightspeed Overdrive is sensitive to pick attack and has a different “feel” than other overdrives. The Lightspeed can be set to be “transparent,” but can also drive your signal to the edge.

On tour with Peter Stroud (Sheryl Crow, and others), Alex Weeden (Miranda Lambert), Drew Shirley (Switchfoot), J.B. Brisendine (Brother Hawk), Casey Meyer (Jim Quick and Coastline), Jason “JJ Boogie” Reichert (Arrested Development), Justin Kennedy (Justin Kennedy Band), James Duke, Matt Goldman (Glow in the Dark Studios), JR Mead (Kutless), Jordan Peters (Lauryn Hill), and more!

Overdrive

Overdrive is a popular guitar effect that creates a warm, distorted sound by amplifying the signal of an electric guitar, typically using a pedal or an amp’s built-in circuit. The effect simulates the natural distortion that occurs when a tube amplifier is pushed to its limit, creating a rich, harmonic response that adds sustain, warmth, and character to the tone. Overdrive pedals are commonly used to add grit and growl to a clean tone without the harshness of full distortion.

The overdrive effect works by boosting the input signal, causing the amplifier to break up and clip the waveform, resulting in a smooth, musical distortion. This is often more subtle and less aggressive than other forms of distortion, making overdrive pedals ideal for blues, classic rock, and country players who seek a dynamic sound that responds to their playing touch. Overdrive pedals can be used in conjunction with other effects like delay and reverb to shape a more complex, evolving sound. Popular overdrive pedals include the Ibanez Tube Screamer, the Fulltone OCD, and the Boss OD-3, each offering different tonal characteristics, from smooth and bluesy to punchy and aggressive.
