Southland Harmonic Overdrive

he TarPit Integrated Circuit Fuzz Machine is the newest release from Greer Amps. This pedal was created out of the desire to have the sound and feel of a vintage Muff style fuzz, with grit, and grind that will sustain for days. Based on the vintage Big Muff Pi variant that utilizes two integrated circuits, with some Greer Amps tweaks (not the standard 4 transistor version), the Tarpit has all of the sounds that one might expect from a Muff style fuzz, and so much more.

The Tarpit is built in a rugged powdercoated aluminum enclosure, with printed graphics, designed by Nick DePartee (an awesome graphic designer, and former guitarist for the band Kutless). We chose the most awesome metallic blue powdercoat color that we could track down, and had the graphics set in black and white. The Tarpit features custom Oxblood control knobs by Davies (these knobs are currently available in a limited supply).

Der Lightspeed Organic Overdrive ist ein Overdrive mit sehr natürlichem Klang. Warum „organisch“? Nun, einfach gesagt, es ist der klarste, natürlichste und beste Overdrive, den wir je gehört haben, für Spieler, die einen natürlichen Drive-Sound suchen. Dieses Pedal harmoniert mit dem Klang der Gitarre und des Verstärkers und hat satte Obertöne und komplexes, aber sanftes Clipping. Der Lightspeed Overdrive reagiert empfindlich auf den Anschlag des Plektrums und hat ein anderes „Gefühl“ als andere Overdrives. Der Lightspeed kann auf „transparent“ eingestellt werden, kann Ihr Signal aber auch bis an den Rand treiben.

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.

Der SOMA '63 Vintage Preamp ist das erste Pedal in der XFR-Serie von Greer Amps und eröffnet eine neue Klangwelt. Der SOMA '63 ist ein echter Vintage-Preamp, der auf dem Klang und dem Gefühl von Vintage-Verstärkern der braunen Ära aus Kalifornien basiert. Dieses Pedal simuliert den gesamten Vorverstärker, den Phasenumkehrer, die Leistungssektion und sogar das Gefühl der alten 10-Zoll-Utah-Lautsprecher, die in diesen berühmten braunen Verstärkern waren. Der Tone Stack ist so konzipiert, dass er dem Benutzer eine breite und dynamische Palette von Klangoptionen bietet. Der Presence-Regler arbeitet mit dem Tone-Stack zusammen und ist als Weitbereichsregler ausgelegt, der den Gesamtsound der gesamten Schaltung beeinflusst. Der SOMA '63 verfügt über einen Stahlkern-Transformator im Audio-Signalweg. Der Transformator trägt zur Klangformung des gesamten Schaltkreises bei, und wenn die Verstärkung stark angehoben wird, insbesondere bei Tonabnehmern mit höherem Output, wird der kleine Stahlkern-Transformator in die Sättigung gehen, genau wie bei einem klassischen Verstärker. Der SOMA '63 kann als tonformende Vorstufe oder als Overdrive-Pedal verwendet werden. Das SOMA '63 bietet eine große Auswahl an Sounds.

A brave new world of tone, the SOMA ‘63 Vintage Preamp is the first pedal in the XFR series of pedals from Greer Amps. The SOMA ’63 is a true vintage preamp, based on the tone and feel of vintage brown era amplifiers from California. This pedal simulates the entire preamp, phase inverter, power section, and even the feel of the vintage 10 inch Utah speakers that were in those famous brown amps. The tone stack is designed to provide a wide and dynamic range of tonal options to the user. The Presence control works with the tone stack, and is designed to be a wide range control, effecting the overall sound of the entire circuit. The SOMA ’63 features a steel core transformer in the audio signal path. The transformer lends to the overall tone shaping of the circuit, and when the gain is pushed hard, especially with higher output pickups, the small steel core transformer will saturate, just like a vintage amplifier. The SOMA ’63 can be used as a tone-shaping preamp, or as an overdrive pedal. There are a wide variety of tones available in the SOMA ’63, so spend some time with your new pedal, and find the tones that rock your world!

Soma 63

We’ve all had those late nights, filled with loud music, questionable decisions, and the occasional run-in with a big, beastly monster that wants to rip our faces off…right? Well…this is that night, in pedal form. The Gorilla Warfare MKII is a pedal that we have had a ton of requests for over the years. (We even did a super limited run of this pedal a while back, with a different graphic, slightly tweaked circuit, and a different chip…that was then, this is now, and this…this is better.) I’ve been asked more times than I can count to do a “Greer Amps version of the RAT circuit…and do it right”…well…here it is. This is our angry, aggressive, larger-than-life and not-holding-back version of the old familiar circuit, complete with the good old LM308 chip.
