Greer Special Request Preamp Pedal

The Greer Special Request: D-style touch sensitivity and focused clarity in a single-knob stomp

D-Style Preamp Tone for the Modern Player

The Greer Special Request Preamp Pedal delivers the signature feel and tonal clarity of high-end boutique amplifiers without the six-figure price tag. Designed around the fabled FET input stage found in certain legendary D-style amps, this compact boost pedal captures the nuanced interaction between pick attack and harmonic bloom. It's a tone-enhancing tool that makes great amps sound remarkable and elevates your rig to its fullest potential.

Single Knob Simplicity, Studio-Grade Complexity

Though it may appear straightforward, the single knob on the Special Request conceals an impressively musical circuit. Inside, a voltage doubler pushes 9 volts up to 18, maximizing headroom and delivering enhanced dynamic response. The slight compression and unique midrange profile lend a subtle textural upgrade to your sound, making notes more articulate and chords more defined, all without sounding harsh or "ice picky".

Always-On Clarity or Saturated Stack Magic

The Special Request can be used at unity gain to bring out tonal focus and clarity, or pushed further to saturate an amp’s front end with more harmonic content. In either case, this pedal reacts beautifully to your playing dynamics. Whether placed at the start of your chain for tonal shaping or just before your amp to drive it harder, the Special Request is versatile, musical, and always inspiring.

Designed for Stacking and Standalone Greatness

Whether you’re crafting a textured gain stage by stacking pedals or refining your clean tone for maximum articulation, the Special Request fits seamlessly into any rig. Its tight, focused voicing makes it an ideal partner for high-gain players looking to tighten up their sound, and equally useful for clean players seeking punch and presence without sacrificing touch sensitivity.

Built to Inspire, Built to Last

With true bypass switching and rugged build quality, the Special Request is road-ready and studio-approved. Its 5-year warranty to the original owner is a testament to Greer’s commitment to reliability and performance. The circuit runs exclusively on 9 volts, whether via battery or standard center-negative 2.1mm power supply, just don’t try to feed it anything else.
