BBE Green Screamer Adds Class And Overdrive To The Bama Lamas
For the greasy garage rock sounds of The Bama Lamas, a metallic distortion like the ProCo Rat just wasn't cutting it. Chris, who plays guitar and sings, talks about making the switch to a BBE Green Screamer, which provides more of an overdriven tube sound that he's been looking for.
CHRIS: Hi. I am Chris, lead singer and guitarist for the band Bama Lamas.
I just picked up this new pedal, Green Screamer or something like that. It is a BBE pedal.
PATRICK OGLE: A BBE pedal?
CHRIS: Yeah. It wasn't expensive at all but like I tried it out in the store and it sounded -- and you can never tell when you try it out on a store because obviously it's not your own gear but it sounded good, and I've been playing with it in a couple of practices and [OVERLAPPING].
PATRICK OGLE: It's like a Tube Screamer kind of sound? It's got like the [OVERLAPPING]?
CHRIS: Yeah. It's warm. It's more of like an overdrive, so and that's what I realized I did have or wanted because I used to have a Rat pedal that I played with this band but it was too distorted, too metally, and that's not what we want, so--
PATRICK OGLE: So the BBE is kind of like more subtle than that? More classic sounding?
CHRIS: Yeah. More of a classic. Yeah exactly. Basically like the overdriven -- the tubes were overdriven, that's basically what it sounds like so yeah it's good. So far we'll see. We'll see how it sounds tonight.
