Frequently Asked Questions
The Southland offers more gain and a broader range of distortion than the Lightspeed, while retaining the core Greer tonal character. It’s essentially a step up in intensity and versatility.
It can take a little experimentation to find the sweet spot, as it significantly impacts the upper harmonics and overall tone. A slight adjustment can make a big difference, but it’s not overly complicated.
It shines with clean or slightly overdriven amps, providing a boost and adding harmonic richness. It works well with Fender, Vox, and Marshall-style amps to enhance their character.
