G.A.S. Report — ACQUIRED: Way Huge Green Rhino Overdrive


Yes, I succumbed to G.A.S. once again :(  I'm trying my best to patiently await getting a new keyboard but couldn't pass up a deal on this one. My lovely wife was so kind to buy me a fairly inexpensive and decent sounding "screamer" type of pedal last year but I've yet to fully bond with it or get the sounds I really want out of it. I hoped this Green Rhino, from what I've heard online, will get me there.

Well, it succeeds! What a great sounding overdrive. I was able, within minutes, to dial in every kind of OD I could think of, from bright boost, to tejas grunge, to SRV, smooth OD, ballsy OD (thanks to that 100Hz boost and the mid curve pots!). It's fairly configurable to just about any kind of OD you can think of. It's crisp and clean too, well what I mean is, although its distorted/overdriven sounding, you can still hear all your notes. Not muddy, no weird oscillation and great, almost RAT style, harmonics!

Also, you can really count on the build of this thing. It's lightweight but very strong enclosure is made to perfection, solid feeling knobs and the switch is a short throw, easy "click" type. Great on socked feet! :)

I've barely spent any time with it at all and I already love it! It's replaced my MXR Classic OD pedal already.

Love it, recommend it! Great deal!
