In this video I look at the Greer LightSpeed pedal. This is a popular overdrive pedal due to its transparent sound. That is both a pro and con IMO. It’s has its uses and I discuss this in this video. I paid for this pedal with my own money and no one at Greer knows I’m making this.
What do you think of this pedal? Do you like the tones?

@@willrowe9920 yeah, I wanted to like it, as it’s reputation was good but I think the whole transparent overdrive thing isn’t that important to me. Still I use it sometimes for a certain thing but I get why some people love it.

Circuit topology of the Lightspeed is pretty similar in many ways to the Timmy OD and Vemuram Jan Ray (both those have bass and treble control whereas the Lightspeed has the one Tone knob) which both are also in the league of "transparent" overdrives.

Nice! I didn’t know that. I think I prefer the Timmy to the LightSpeed. Seems to work more for what I do. Have tried a Jan Ray at the namm show but that’s not a good way to evaluate as it’s hard to hear anything

@@NickGranville I have a Timmy-isch circuit with added mids control (bass / mids /treble) which sounds like fitting your gap there... just saying once you have sold the Lightspeed haha ;)

Why dont use a compressor ? You neck pickup seems quite high, can you give the heigh ? Your sound is very good with this pickup

@fendermatt874 that’s nice. Well, he’s the man so that’s a great person to turn to. Provided you want to sound like him (and who wouldn’t!).

Could this replace the bb preamp?

I much prefer the BB preamp. It’s far more versatile

The BB is one of my all time favourites. It’s hard to beat.
