The Gear Grinder is based on the acclaimed Organ Grinder, only now it is in Stereo! The Organ Grinder was the first Lounsberry Pedal designed for keyboards. Developed with the aid of Roger Powell of Utopia and Meat Loaf fame, it provides a fat, tubelike overdrive for clonewheel organs that can cover the gamut of organ sounds from Greg Rollie, to Jon Lord, Uriah Heep, and even Canterbury sounds.

Like all Lounsberry Pedals it sounds and plays more like an amp than a pedal, bringing to mind the tube power amp section of an overdriven Leslie cabinet. As it easily handles the low notes, the Organ Grinder also sounds awesome with bass guitar. Itt is the ultimate shredding device for the keyboardist who wants to rock.

Operation is the same as the Organ Grinder. When channel one is the only input, the signal is routed to both outputs eliminating need for repatching when going from mono to stereo.

The acclaimed Tall & Fat pedal is the premier accessory  for clonewheel organs. Digital organs do a great job of modeling the tonewheel, but fail to capture the dynamic behavior of the tube based AO-28 preamp. That’s where the Tall & Fat comes in. When added to a digital organ setup, the Tall & Fat provides the compression, second order harmonics, and dynamic drive characteristics of the famous tube preamp. If you’re in need of a strong boost that’s clean and clear, the Tall & Fat is that pedal.

It is a three stage FET preamp with gain staging.. The onset of overdrive is gradual and can be easily controlled with the swell pedal. It adds compression and 2nd order harmonics. With it’s drive and transparency, it works extremely well when overdriven, even with complex chord shapes.

Like all Lounsberry Pedals it sounds and plays more like an amp than a pedal, bringing to mind the tube driven AO-28 preamp. It is the missing link between your digital keyboard and the analog sound you hear in your brain. The Tall & Fat is tuned to easily handle a wide frequency range and sounds awesome with guitar and bass.

Live that moment when you close your eyes and forget you are playing a digital organ!

Smilin’ Jack is a reboot of a classic Lounsberry pedal of the past. As we know, not all fuzz pedals sound alike and the ones that stand the test of time have a unique personality. That’s where our friend Smilin’ Jack comes into play.

With just a little Drive engaged, Jack smiles and growls with the best of them, making it a perfect pedal to add a little bite to your leads. Play full chords with confidence, Jack won’t muddy up the tonal complexities. At least not yet…

Turn the Drive to noon, and Jack gets a lot more aggressive. This is where the sonic sweetness of favorite fuzz pedals from years passed. The chords begin to heat up and melt into sonic bliss.

Crank the Drive to its maximum setting and sonic meltdown is the name of the game. Jack’s fuzzy tones are stunning and ready to find a lead line to decimate

Nigel is a multi stage FET preamp with gain staging and Germanium diodes that sounds and plays more like a guitar amp than a guitar pedal, and the controls work the same.

The Nigel Touch Overdrive was the first Lounsberry Pedals design. It started out as a hand wired Fish Paper circuit board built into an Altoids box, but every time Greg tried to demonstrate the sound at the local music store the wallets would come out, and people would try to buy them on the spot. Jaws dropped at the amazing touch responsive dynamics that every guitarist strives for. It soon became obvious that it needed to be housed in a rugged stomp box enclosure. The mint box graphic style stayed on as a reminder of humble beginnings.

Nigel is a multi stage FET preamp with gain staging and Germanium diodes that sounds and plays more like a guitar amp than a guitar pedal, and the controls work the same. Two stages of amplification are cascaded to provide a lot of push for the Germanium clipping diodes creating a very responsive overdrive that can go from warm semi-clean to full on classic rock crunch and saturated lead tones. It works well for keyboards too because of it’s full range response.

The amazing thing about the Nigel, is that it provides the dynamic touch response of a vintage tube amplifier. It’s like a Plexi that fits in your pocket!
