Greer Royal Velvet British Overdrive

The Greer Amps Royal Velvet delivers authentic Class-A British amp tone in a highly dynamic overdrive and preamp pedal platform. Inspired by the chime, grind, and feel of vintage British amplifiers, the Royal Velvet blends the character of classic EL84-powered designs with the punch and response Greer Amps is known for.

At the heart of the Royal Velvet is the same award-winning steel core transformer found in the Greer SOMA63, carefully tuned to provide exceptional feel, harmonic richness, and touch sensitivity. The result is a drive pedal that reacts more like a real amplifier, offering smooth breakup, articulate upper-mid chime, and responsive dynamics across the gain range.

Running at 9V delivers classic British grind with a touch of natural compression, while 18V operation increases headroom, clarity, and stiffness for a more amp-like clean response with added sparkle. The Royal Velvet also excels as a preamp and stacks exceptionally well with other overdrive and boost pedals.

Ideal for rock, blues, indie, worship, and classic British-inspired tones, the Royal Velvet captures the feel and response of a cranked Class-A amplifier in a compact pedal format.
