The Greer Amps Southland is a boutique transparent overdrive from Athens, Georgia manufacturer Greer Amplification, delivering wide-range transparent drive from clean boost through significant overdrive while preserving the character of the guitar and amplifier. The Southland name references the American South and the wide, open character of the Southern landscape, suggesting an overdrive with a broad, open quality that does not narrow or restrict the guitar voice. Greer builds handmade boutique effects in Athens, GA, and the Southland is one of their most versatile overdrive designs.
The MXR MC-402 Boost/Overdrive is a premium dual-function pedal from MXR's Custom Audio Electronics collaboration, providing a transparent clean boost and a warm overdrive in a single enclosure. The CAE (Custom Audio Electronics) collaboration with Bob Bradshaw produced a series of professional-grade signal chain tools, and the MC-402 reflects the signal quality standards demanded by professional touring guitarists who rely on CAE systems.
