Greer Super Hornet
Greer · pedal
The Greer Amps Super Hornet is a high-gain drive and distortion pedal from Athens, Georgia boutique maker Greer Amplification, delivering aggressive, saturated drive character suited to hard rock and heavy rock applications where more gain is needed than the Greer transparent OD designs provide. The Super Hornet name implies a powerful, aggressive character beyond the lighter Greer drive options. Greer builds handmade boutique effects in Athens, GA, and the Super Hornet represents their higher-gain drive offering for players who need more saturation density than the Southland or Soma provide.
