Why "organic"? Well, simply put, it's the clearest, most natural feeling, and best overdrive we've heard for the player looking for a natural drive tone. The Lightspeed Organic Overdrive is a very natural sounding overdrive. they're all really just different levels of "more." May need to get a different flavor of some sort on there.Enclosure Dimensions (in): 4.77" x 2.6" x 1.39" Maybe? I may change my mind by the time I leave the house. Stack the Belle into the Lightspeed for a lot more, but no real mid boost. Stack the Tumnus into it for a little more gain, with some added mids. I actually used it as an always on pedal into a Bassman for a long time. but it does a great job fattening up your tone. The RC Booster is somewhere between the Timmy and Lightspeed to me. Just don't roll it back too far cause then it starts to loose some of that ooomph. The Belle can be set to sound pretty much identical to the Mini but has a bass knob you can sneak back, which solves the problem. The ODR Mini sounds fantastic at home but I haven't used it live yet and I'm worried it may get lost in a thick mix with other guitars. They still sound like more of your amp, but with a whole lot more ooomph. The Belle and ODR Mini are very different beasts than the Timmy and Lightspeed, even though they still fall into the "your amp, but more" family. The bass and treble knobs are super powerful. Works great at the beginning of your chain or can also go at the end as a clean boost. The Timmy doesn't have the same sparkle as the Lightspeed but it can perform a similar role and it's a lot more versatile. Stack a Tumnus (or Klone of your choice) into it and you get a great next stage. I've been using it as an almost always on drive into a clean ish amp with great results. This definitely is more of a rhythm pedal to me. It's a bit of a one trick pony, but it's amazing at that trick, which is a low to medium gain home base kinda tone. The Lightspeed has a special sparkle to it that's glorious. Been experimenting with different orders and stacking combos a lot. I have a Lightspeed, Timmy, RC Booster, ODR Mini and just yesterday I picked up a Wampler Belle. So of course experience may be different for everyone’s ears, rig, and fingers-but having now experienced a Kingsley, I can easily see how people end up with a board full of them. I found the Lightspeed’s gain to be very congested…when you play the Page, it becomes hard to understand how the Lightspeed is described as amp-like in comparison. the fact that you can clean up or get more grit by using your volume knob-I set mine at 8.5 and 3:00 on the Page gain knob is edge of breakup, while it’s lovely grit when I dial my Strat volume to 10 and 2). I haven’t played a Timmy or Gain Changer, so I can’t compare. However, I think most people keep the Lightspeed’s gain knob around 12-2:00, and putting the Page TS’s gain knob around 3:00 will get you that same gain quite easily. The Lightspeed may have more gain on tap than the Page TS if you dime the gain knob on the Lightspeed. To your questions- I only have one amp (a handwired AC15 with celestion blue) and play a Strat, so that’s what I’ve played with the Page TS. It’s a slippery slope with these because they’re so good! I’m also placing a call to Simon to order a Minstrel to replace another pedal that used to sound good and no longer does in comparison to the Kingsley. I’m loving the Page TS-so much so that I plan on listing my Lightspeed in the Emporium today.
