Pedal lightspeed

Must be honest - I would love to hear it live pushing a cranked amp into full overdrive though. Simply put, its the clearest, most natural feeling, and best overdrive.

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. The Greer Amps Lightspeed Organic Overdrive is a very natural sounding overdrive. 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. 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 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.

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.
