Description

NICK GREER SWEETBACK DRIVER.

The Sweetback is the mean, angry brother to the Sonic Boom. This pedal is a boost/distortion pedal that features one knob labeled "Turn N Burn." As the user turns the knob up the pedal begins to crackle and pop as DC voltage is being adjusted. Once the knob is set, the pedal is quiet. An increase in the knob's position results in an increase in volume as well as an increase in gain coming from the pedal.

This pedal will drive the front end of an amplifier like no other. Users should note that the pedal, when the knob is full down, produces whatever signal is being fed into it; it does not limit the sound but can only boost or distort the sound that is being injected into it. Though the pedal does add some hair as the user brings the knob up, it does not color the sound drastically. The coloration of the sound is a fattening effect that results in very little loss of the fidelity of the original guitar sound.

HARMONY CENTRAL USER REVIEWS:

Sound Quality: 10

The Sweetback Driver along with a Nick Greer Claymore has replaced my Fulldrive 2. Sorry Mike, Nick wins.

Sound Quality: 10

Essentially I was looking for a push that would afford me guitar volume knob control where 6 or 7 yields a relatively clean sound and 10 is full blown girth and distortion. To that end it serves me well. I've had it a little while now and have no misgivings about it. I run it pretty high up at about 3:00. A very nice, articulated crunch and grind results.
