Anybody use one? Likes, dislikes? Comparison to other boosts? Ready... Set... Go! :D

The best description I can think of is "furry". Simple, excellent value if you need a boost with lots of character.

Great raunchy dirty boost. I use it to to slam the front end of a Ghetto Stomp set to low gain. Takes me right into Neil Young melting tweed territory. I'd love to have Greer build me a custom 2-in-1 Sweetback>Ghetto Stomp. They're that good together. Reeses Peanut Butter Cup good.

Oh man, that's a helluva idea.

I've played missfortune's board with the Sweetback—>Ghetto Stomp, and it is good.

That is a helluva idea. Remember Nick built those Tone Factor exclusive Black Bettys a few years ago, Sonic Boom>Black Fuzz. Had one, sold it, regret it. :crazy
I like the Sweetback>Ghetto idea even more.

The Sweetback Driver seems like something I'd like. I had a Ghetto Stomp for a little while. Unfortunately, I may be the only person who doesn't like this pedal. Not much volume, and didn't seem to have any top end. I really wanted to like it more. I'd like to try a Brown Bomber one of these days.

I think it has no top end on purpose... it's great with a Tele. I'm sure it would be with a Strat, too. I think it really comes alive when you also use a boost or distortion along side of it. Just got mine recently, but really like it. Like Catalinbread's SFT, you just have to turn that treble up quite a bit more in certain situations than you do with any other OD pedal I can think of.

Soooooo....who's going to ask Nick if he could swing some "Sweet Ghetto" pedals?

Yes, I'm sure it was on purpose. It's just not for me. I'd like to check out some of Nick's other pedals though.

I find that it has more than enough high end for me with the tone control set to about 3 o'clock, but then again, all of my geetars have singlecoils.
