Very very close. Getting slightly more noise from the GH, but not a deal-breaker amount.

Got them both, they’re identical as far as I can tell. Saw a few comments about noise floor differences so did some testing with various settings on min and max and couldn’t tell them apart. I did min/max settings just because dialing in anything accurately otherwise is really difficult due to the pots and sliders.
Great grindy bass tones available.
The EQ and switch are essential, imo.

Got a chance to open up the Greathammer.
Love it's low gain tones, but man, the distortion this thing is capable of is excellent.
Running it into my Broughton SuperStack is also a great pairing.

It's my new favorite low-gainer.
It has a certain "feel" that I love.
Arrived yesterday. Haven't played it through bass yet but put it through my guitar rig for a couple hours.
Really fun and well-designed pedal. I was curious to its tonal ability on guitar. A lot of interesting and cool shaping ability, especially running end of (dirt) chain. The bass control is VERY powerful. Really hits sweet spots for lower tuning as well.
Makes for a unique guitar pedal. Made me really think outside of my traditional go-to guitar dirt flavors.
I still need to get a hold of a Dagger or Halberd one day.

It looks sooooo much better etched.

It was worth it to sell my OG Greathammer and snag the etched version. I waited on the Glaive and am stoked to try these together.
I had already ordered the regular GH, and missed the drop of the etched version.
Way cooler, but I'm still happy with mine.
Great sounding pedal.

At first, I thought the switch was a little backwards, between center and down.
Decided to give it another go earlier, this time with the EQ all the way down.
Yup. I was wrong.
I had been EQ'ing it in such a way that made the down (moderate mid-cut) sound more exaggerated and scooped.
At first I figured I'd never really use that side, but now I think it's kinda awesome.

Halberd into the Greathammer is a tone sensation. Love the Halberd on bass but it really shines on guitar.
Also the Dagger just rips, such a fun scrappy drive. Just nails the tone I want out of a distortion pedal without any faff.
Lucky me too, maybe- perhaps this gives me some time to come my senses haha
