We are big fans of Greer Amps pedals here at Pedal Empire and thats mostly because they do things just that little bit different or better. It may also have something to do with Nick Greers wonderful beard but that can be discussed another time..
The Sure Shot Clipping Boost does boost but it also does Clipping! While pushing the volume up to get your amp breaking up it is also pushing a pair of MA856 clipping diodes into breakup so that the pedals is breaking up too! This means a layered drive tone where the amp AND the pedal are breaking up. One knob makes it pretty darn easy to control too! It can go before and after your favourite gain pedal too to do the same thing explained above to the amp. See.. Greer does things that little bit extra cool and is not just a pretty beard.
Here's what Greer say about the Sure Shot:
The sound of an amp, barely holding itself together is something to behold. The tone of a good amp walking the knife edge between clean and drive…there’s something there that just doesn’t exist anywhere else, and when you push it just a bit further, you can truly find bliss. That’s where the Sure Shot Clipping Boost comes in!
The Sure Shot Clipping Boost is a different kind of boost. Is it high headroom? NO! Is it Germanium? Again, NOOOOPE! This boost is designed to get dirty, but it does so in a very special way.
The Sure Shot has one single control on its face. The LOUD control does just that, it makes you loud, but…it does it in a way that is unique amongst boosts. As you increase the LOUD control, the Sure Shot will push your amp into overdrive, while it also pushes a pair of MA856 clipping diodes. This results in a very special tone—a LAYERED drive effect, in which the amp AND the pedal are both beginning to overdrive. Now, this alone is truly special…but wait…there’s more.
If you run this in front of your favourite rite boost, overdrive, distortion, or even a second Sure Shot, you’ll find that it adds texture and juiciness to those sounds. The audio image of the Sure Shot is purposely rooted in the 1970’s, with some areas slightly peaked out, and some frequencies tamped down just a bit. This audio image presents itself more as the LOUD knob is increased, and it is truly glorious.
The Sure Shot works wonderfully with all genres of music, from spanky country music to heavy chugging metal. I know this all sounds crazy…and maybe it is. It’s a clipping boost…it clips…on purpose…and it sounds amazing when it does!
The Sure Shot is the first pedal from Greer Amps in the mini pedal format. It features true-bypass switching, and runs off of 9 volts only. We built this pedal with top tier components, and we are proud to offer this tiny little wonder to you. The Sure Shot has a 5 year warranty on it, and as always, we stand behind our workmanship…you’re going to love the way you sound with the Sure Shot Clipping Boost.
