Greer Amps Black Mountian
Here’s one of Greer’s latest offerings. Seems like a simplified OCD circuit with some value changes and different clipping diodes. Schematic for reference. Easy fit in a 1590B.

Greer Amps Soma 63 Preamp
Cool JFET preamp circuit from Greer. Its supposed to sound like a Brownface-era Fender amp. I’d be curious what it sounds like without the transformer. Should fit just fine in a 125B with top mounted jacks. Schematic for reference.
Greer Amps Southland
Turns out the Southland is pretty much the same circuit as the Lightspeed, but with some hard clipping diodes thrown in the middle (and a couple value tweaks). Figured I’d make a new layout with space for the diodes. This layout uses the same drill template as the Lightspeed. I ended up building a 2-in-1 … Read more
Greer Amps Tomahawk
Here’s a popular drive box from Greer Amps. It’s essentially a Distortion +/DOD 250 but with a modified gain control, LED clipping and a treble cut pot. Should be an easy fit in a 1590B.
Greer Amps Lightspeed
Wondered about this one for a while (but always suspected it was YATS). The best way to describe the Lightspeed (that I can think of anyway) is it’s kind of like a Timmy with the bass and treble controls fixed and a simple treble cut tone control added just before the volume pot. The most … Read more
Greer Amps Sucker Punch
The Sucker Punch uses the popular combination of a JFET and 386 op amp, much like the Lovepedal Black Magic/Purple Plexi, or DAM Sonic Titan. Nick Greer put his own spin on this and it sounds pretty good. The 100k trim pot is to bias the drain of the J201. Set to 4.5v and then … Read more
Greer Amps Ghetto Stomp
Here’s another one of Nick Greer’s offerings. Like Sean over at Lovepedal, he seems to be getting a lot of mileage out of the Electra circuit. I’ve laid this out for on-board pots with the board mounted vertically like this: Photo by Bob Scott/negatron.org I saw on the Greer Amps website that a special version … Read more
Greer Amps Green Giant
Needed to do a simple circuit after all those involved 6 onboard pots layouts. They’re exhausting 😉 This is Nick Greer’s take on the classic Electra Distortion, but with one simple twist: the Blend control allows you to blend in the clipping stage. Expect some volume loss with the diodes blended into the signal, but … Read more
