The Greer Soma 63 Vintage Preamp | Tone Tasting

[@darwinsaye]

Love it. People hating in the comments don’t get that this is an emulation of a pre-blackface fender amp pushed past its limits, and it sounds exactly like it’s supposed to. Stick to your tubescreamers; a lot of us DO like these sounds.

[@kingdozerr]

Sounds amazing

[@graemero5532]

More tasty tones from Pete. Cheers for giving it a bit of LP love

[@BV_Beve]

Sounds great Nick makes some awesome stuff the amps are super cool also

[@guil_juliao]

I have this pedal and I personally like it for tone shaping/preamp application. This pedal opens up the overall tone with good warmth. Like many people here I do not like the fuzz sounds this pedal produces but this pedal sounds amazing for clean and light crunch sounds

[@sgall161]

Just curious. You have the Soma at the end of your chain, in front of amp or at the end of drive section? If so, how does this pedal take ovrerdrive or boosts? Does it get muddy?

[@sgall161]

Best demo of this pedal I've seen. I'm bought and sold. Excellent demo. Just wondering would Squier jazzmaster single coil pick ups be to hot for this pedal unlike tele pick ups? 🤔

[@Mathcartney]

I want one, awesome drive/fuzzy tone. Semi hollow + p90s and this pedal could be pretty much heaven

[@simonnaji]

I like it. I can't recall hearing your tele sound quite that dirty before.

[@PhillipBlanton]

Can you tell Pete has a favorite shirt? Western cut with pearl snaps, just like the ones I used to wear growing up in Texas.

[@briancardinali]

Greer makes the best stuff. Pete- you need to try his amps! They rock!!!

[@ronvanhee]

< JUST GOT MINE LAST WEEKEND! sorry for the overcapitalization/ but what a grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat pedal / yeah SOMA! long live nick! >

[@chris3383]

That was quite tasty!!!

[@johnjgibson6807]

Man Always The Best 👍👍🎶🎶🎸

[@shawnhicks5501]

Pete, can you review/try the Hawaiian pizza fuzz pedal please. I would love to hear what sounds you can get with it.

[@ptrisonic]

Greer make the best pedals......imo. I'm still loving the "Pork and Beans" booster, incredibly useful! Best, Pete.

[@thejoshbtv]

That does sound mean. Can you do the new Plasma Pedal sometime please? Thanks

[@graemero5532]

Yeh would love to see DP play with the Plasma Coil. Andydemos demo'd it and it sounds great.

[@MauDeBruijn]

Did it sound better in the room Pete?

[@ardiris2715]

That Tele tone!

[@CentaurusRelax314]

Love the putty!

[@LTsurge10]

I really want to know what this would sound like with my ML-3 Bea baritone through my Terror Bass amp

[@MatthewHyatt]

This would sound sooo good on a baritone.

[@alga1309]

Are you using 9 or 18 V?

[@WoodesosGuitarMods]

Surely this pedal is a nod to the Smashing Pumpkins who all famously used a Big Muff for their fuzz sound. Soma is a great tune full of fuzzy good licks... kept waiting for you to play some tasty Pumpkins riffs.

[@guitarsimon1]

Hudson Broadcast not-quite-fuzz/not-quite-drive (Steve) vibes, noice.

[@jonathandebruin2574]

i would love if you could do a slow dancing in a burning room loop video, tak på forhånd. fede videoer;D

[@fry_it]

danish pope is back in town

[@gab_ale]

Woot. Purple Tele.

[@GreccPerspective]

The name is fitting since soma in Greek means body. It ads body to your tone

[@thechronicnoizeco.6675]

Purple!

[@arielista]

Sounds best at lower to almost clean gain. Not so much at higher gain gets too fuzzy and compressed

[@MrSpock]

Yeah it’s like a hard-limited almost ducked sound 🙉

[@cchavez248]

Overdriven transformer

[@cchavez248]

I have to admit, I'm not really a fan of the spitty, overdriven transformer. Has anyone here tried a Crazy Tube Ckts. Falcon against this Greer Soma? In most videos I've seen, I like the Falcon better but I don't have any, "in the room" experience with either of these pedals, thx.

[@danpeabody5687]

I love the lightspeed I plan on buying one but I don't like this pedal

[@CNCTEMATIC]

Lightspeed is awesome, can't get it off my board. Southland is also good. This is not impressive at all. For that overdriven mike preamp sound the Hudson Broadcast or the JHS Crayon are way better. To me the fuzz tones on this are thin and scratchy. Also this pedal couldn't do the halfway overdriven thing, or even as a clean fattener it was unpleasant. Can't do anything a preamp should, imo

[@robertwellington2616]

CNCTEMATIC I have the Southland and the Samson both good pedals. Not a fan of the lightspeed. Tried it 3x it didn’t make a great amp sound better so it had to go. I’m not a fan of this either. Sorry but I need to be honest. The 2 other pedals I mentioned are great though. Everyone has different taste.

[@CNCTEMATIC]

Jack Wilson ok. Why apologise to me?

[@robertwellington2616]

CNCTEMATIC it’s just a way of speaking. I’m not actually apologizing to you it’s just how I talk. I apologize. And I’m sorry.

[@CNCTEMATIC]

Jack Wilson LoL. All is forgiven 👍

[@elonmush4793]

sounds more like a fuzz

[@teaheadQ]

Veinish Meat indeed.

[@bobchambers8327]

Jeez Pete the pedals reviews are just getting too much. 22 of your last 25 videos are paid commercials by pedal companies. It would be great if you could find a balance between advertising and producing other videos for your many fans and subscribers.

[@WolverineBeast86]

I think this is their worst pedal. Sounds terrible!

[@CentaurusRelax314]

Damn. I hate criticizing free demos, but something sounds 'broken.' I can't imagine anyone, *ever,* saying, *"OMFG-i, like, **_totes_** need that tone."*

[@marcuskruse1]

Sounds terrible because it's based on a cranked brown face fender. It's power tube distortion, not pre amp which we have become used to.

[@Mathcartney]

Marcus Kruse actually its the other way around. Plexi, bassman, hiwatts are all power saturation. Neil young uses this tone in like all of his albums and he’s pretty much good with it

[@marcuskruse1]

@@Mathcartney not sure I follow, if you turn up the volume, the power amp will overdrive, along with the pre, but with no master volume, you can't drive the pre harder than the power.

[@zackcoffmanguitar]

Sounds Awful and harsh.

[@adamfstewart81]

Finally that collapsed sphincter farting sound I never wanted. Why sound pro when you can sound prolapse? For no extra money, bring it down to 9volts and shove a swarm of angry bees up in there...

[@tonray9395]

Sounds way too buzzy and trebly .yechhj

[@cchavez248]

That is only when overdriving the internal transformer. I can't say I'm a fan of that sound either. I much prefer the Ariel Posen broadcast if one were to go for that fuzzy style overdrive!

[@matts1364]

Sounds not so good

[@DannyBrooks1]

This ones not for me. Sounds like a blown speaker.
