I have read the hype, had the Lightspeed several times and have watched all of the sycophantic and ironically less-than-transparent demos on KZbin. Yours is the ballsiest tone, love the medium and cranked sounds here which really make me want to try the pedal again and really give my amp some welly. Bravo.

Wonderful playing! Thank you for playing chords and not just noodling the entire time. I tend to play more rhythm guitar and it’s hard to hear how pedals will sound when people only play licks. I appreciate it! My lightspeed will be here in 2 days and I can’t wait!

Some people call it a 'Klon-killer' but for good reason. I have owned a lot of Klon-type pedals including the KTR. The Lightspeed sounded much better in every situation, with any guitars, any amps. Hard to beat this one when it comes to low gain / clean boost pedals.

@michaelmassaro34832 жыл бұрын
I own both pedals. Both are absolutely fantastic, but the Morning Glory slightly edges out the Lightspeed in my opinion. I generally keep the MG on all the time plus it has the higher-gain boost mode for when you need a little more out of it. Can’t go wrong with either pedal though.

Hey Tyler - Great video! I have the lightspeed and really love it as well. I have moved between the clean boost and light gain use with my Iridium. I think both ways sound fantastic. Quick question for you. Do you do any EQ in the Strymon IR Manager to the Volume/Treble/Bass levels?

No, I wouldn’t put it in the Klon family. To me, it’s more in the bluesbreaker, preamp, op amp, Timmy type circuits. I think it would go excellent with all of the above.
