I was really anticipating this one since it popped up on the wishlist.
Out of the 3 Greer pedals I've built, the Lightspeed (Mach 1) still ranks pretty high as my favorite low gain drive.
The other two (Southland and Soma) didn't really do it for me.
The Black Mountain Crunch is a really neat pedal, super fast build, low component count but sounds fantastic.
There's a really wide range of gain too. If I had one complaint is that the tone knob doesn't quite have enough range for me but it still sounds really cool.
I was testing the pedal after building it this afternoon, turned on the looper and kinda got lost for an hour or so just jamming. Which is always cool.
I think I like it best as a low gain application, turn the gain knob all the way down, on the neck pickup on my Les Paul, it sounds heavenly.
Clipping provided a pair of opposing silicone diodes (BAT41 and 1N914).
I'll try to get a demo of it up tomorrow.
