The Sure Shot from Greer Amplification it not your usual kind of boost pedal, it's something else entirely, and one that doesn't rely on high headroom or germanium as per the norm.
Pushing a pair of MA856 clipping diodes, the pedal just gets louder with it's one knob LOUD control, which is unique among boost pedals as it pushes your amp into overdrive, which results in a very special kind of tone.

What Do Greer Amps Say?
The sound of an amp, barely holding itself together is something to behold. The tone of a good amp walking the knife edge between clean and drive…there’s something there that just doesn’t exist anywhere else, and when you push it just a bit further, you can truly find bliss. That’s where the Sure Shot Clipping Boost comes in!
The Sure Shot Clipping Boost is a different kind of boost. Is it high headroom? NO! Is it Germanium? Again, NOOOOPE! This boost is designed to get dirty, but it does so in a very special way. The Sure Shot has one single control on its face. The LOUD control does just that, it makes you loud, but…it does it in a way that is unique amongst boosts. As you increase the LOUD control, the Sure Shot will push your amp into overdrive, while it also pushes a pair of MA856 clipping diodes. This results in a very special tone—a LAYERED drive effect, in which the amp AND the pedal are both beginning to overdrive. Now, this alone is truly special…but wait…there’s more. If you run this in front of your favorite boost, overdrive, distortion, or even a second Sure Shot, you’ll find that it adds texture and juiciness to those sounds. The audio image of the Sure Shot is purposely rooted in the 1970’s, with some areas slightly peaked out, and some frequencies tamped down just a bit. This audio image presents itself more as the LOUD knob is increased, and it is truly glorious. The Sure Shot works wonderfully with all genres of music, from spanky country music to heavy chugging metal. I know this all sounds crazy…and maybe it is. It’s a clipping boost…it clips…on purpose…and it sounds glorious when it does!
