Zack,
I didn't say that i did. Actually, I don't use ANY overdrive pedals, But. generally speaking, i think good low end (or low mid) response makes for a fuller, richer sounding harp tone and the Ghetto Stomp seems to produce that. I mean if you listen to the sound sample, it's remarkable how deep and fat that Tele sounds. And, as a guitar player, you know how trebly and twangy Teles ordinarily sound. i was favorably impressed.
Best Regards,
JP

Why would you need a bass boost? The tone know, turn it and the bass goes up.

Out of curiosity, I went to the Greer Amplification web site to check out the Greer Ghetto Stomp, since i'd never heard of it before. There's a sound sample of a Telecaster being played through one and it sounds absolutely terrific--very fat with muscular low end and just the right amount of drive/gain/dirt.
i have no idea how a Ghetto Stomp would sound for harmonica but I'm pretty impressed with how it sounds for guitar.
FWIW,
JP
