Hello Everyone!
I just wanted to let you guys know that I found an awesome overdrive/fuzz pedal that is handpainted and boutique!
Nick Greer makes awesome guitard amps but he also makes some killer pedals. I was playing in a studio in Atlanta and got to mess around with some Greer pedals. I ended up loving the Nick Greer Batch O' A$$ and thought I would tell ya'll about it.
If you dig the Big Muff type fuzz tone but want something that is not as grind (not that it is very grind...but think less) then this is it! I like it much better than an MXR Blowtorch and a The Syle fuzz I had in the past. Very easy to get a great sound...can blast your face of with fuzzyness but can also be slightly tubey overdrive. Very quick to change tones.
I don't have sound clips because I don't have a way to record them...but definitely something ya'll should check out if you find one.

I'll take pics of the inside later tonight when I get off work and post them. It really does seem extremely well put together IMO.

Seriously, I like the idea of a PTP pedal.

I've thought about doing my Dust Bunny Fuzz in PTP.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2006 Location: Lismore, NSW, Australia | | | hmmm I always just thought PTP was a fancy word for perf, as perf ususally makes people think 'amateur' ?
Basically just point to point connections with terminal strips instead of actual traces on a board as such.
Is there no board involved at all? How does everything stop from short circuiting?

I was thinking more along this kinda line, which i've always called perf (as opposed to actual perf boards). Just terminal strips

Well, I guess you could argue that PCB is too...  Forget it

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2006 Location: Lismore, NSW, Australia | | Well I looked up PTP wiring... 
Thats what I have called perf in the past. I guess I have bad terminology. I always said either perf, or perf board (if its a board with wires on the underside)
I won't worry about arguing

I'd like to see the innards of one of the Greer pedals....Checked the site but all I see is the outer casings.
