Description
Overview
The Electro-Harmonix LPB-1 Linear Power Booster is an exact re-creation of the legendary 1968 circuit that helped pioneer the age of overdrive. Designed as a high-performance preamp, the LPB-1 provides a clean, powerful signal boost that adds significant impact and definition to your overall tone without compromising the integrity of your original sound.
Key Details
- Authentic Circuitry: A faithful reproduction of the original 1968 design, delivering the classic linear boost that defined early rock tones.
- Signal Enhancement: Dramatically increases input drive to subsequent effects or amplifiers, allowing for greater saturation and sustain.
- True Bypass: Ensures your signal remains pure and unaffected when the pedal is disengaged.
- Rugged Construction: Housed in a tough, compact die-cast chassis built to withstand the rigors of professional touring and stage use.
Use Cases
The LPB-1 is a versatile tool for guitarists looking to shape their gain stages. Common applications include:
- Driving Overdrive/Distortion: Place the LPB-1 in front of other effects to push them harder, resulting in increased saturation and a more aggressive lead tone.
- Amp Saturation: Use the booster to push a tube amplifier into natural breakup, allowing you to control the gain and grit of your amp directly from your pedalboard.
- Volume Jump: Use it as a clean boost to increase your volume for solos, ensuring your instrument cuts through the mix with added definition.
Installation
The LPB-1 is a straightforward plug-and-play pedal. Connect your instrument to the input jack and your amplifier or next effect to the output jack. The pedal is powered by a 9V battery (included), making it easy to integrate into any signal chain without requiring additional power cables.
Compatibility
The LPB-1 is compatible with any standard electric guitar or instrument capable of producing a line-level signal. It works seamlessly with all types of amplifiers (tube, solid-state, or digital) and is designed to be placed at the beginning of a pedal chain to maximize the effectiveness of subsequent drive and modulation pedals.
