The Electro-Harmonix Turnip Greens reverb/overdrive pedal combines two of EHX's most popular effects ? the Soul Food overdrive and the Holy Grail reverb ? into a single convenient stompbox. If you're a player who doesn't use pedals "except for an overdrive and maybe a reverb," then Turnip Greens is right up your alley. And if you don't want to stop there, then its built-in effects loop lets you inject other effects pedals between the overdrive and reverb sections. Best of all, the Electro-Harmonix Turnip Greens lets you switch the order of the reverb and overdrive effects for even more sonic options.

Holy Grail reverb with four reverb modes





Beloved by players of all types, the Holy Grail reverb offers four distinct reverb modes: Spring, Hall, Plate, and Reverse. Use Turnip Greens' toggle switch to determine whether the reverb is placed before or after the overdrive section. One thing you'll notice is that the reverb Blend knob is designed to maintain an even volume as you sweep through it, maintaining your ideal signal level to your amplifier ? very cool.





Soul Food overdrive delivers punch and bite





From clean boosts to rich distortion, the Soul Food overdrive may become your amplifier's new best friend. You can easily push your favorite tube amplifier right to its breakup point or use it for aggressive, distorted lead tones. One thing Sweetwater guitarists like is that higher drive settings boost your mids a bit, helping your tone cut through the mix without becoming overbearing. With the drive all the way down, Soul Food becomes a useful boost either at the beginning or end of your effects chain.





Built-in effects loop for other pedals





While the Turnip Greens is convenient for players who don't want to carry multiple pedals, its integrated effects loop is perfect for adding more pedals to your chain. Whether you add modulation effects like a Uni-Vibe or phaser, tape delay or echo effects, or something wilder, Turnip Greens' four reverb modes and versatile overdrive/boost capabilities will put your existing pedals in a whole new perspective.
