The top panel adds a mono/stereo input switch and a low/high processing quality switch which toggles between 2X and 4X oversampling. The user interface is a replica of the Grid Slammer guitar pedal, featuring a bypass switch and level, tone, and gain knobs. Being a virtual overdrive pedal, the plugin is aimed mainly at guitar players and music producers who use distorted guitars in their music, although effects like this one can work equally well for processing virtual instruments and even hardware synthesizers. It is a highly detailed, circuit-based model of the Grid Slammer overdrive pedal by Mesa/Boogie.


Greed Smasher is Mercuriall’s latest freeware guitar processing plugin, following the previously released Tube Screamer emulation and a range of free guitar amp sims. Mercuriall Audio Software has introduced Greed Smasher, a freeware emulation of the Mesa/Boogie Grid Slammer overdrive pedal in VST, AU, and AAX plug-in formats for PC and Mac.
