LPB-1 : Great, simple boost pedal

11 years ago

This pedal is ideal for anyone looking for a cheap alternative to some of the more expensive "clean boost" pedals on the market, with it's small construction and hard metal case it can fit easily on any pedalboard and will stand up well to the rigors of gigging and rehearsals. Since purchasing this pedal I have also purchased an EQ pedal and a volume pedal in my quest for finding a great clean boost, however I always found myself going back to this. You can drive it a little through the front of the amp for a small volume boost, however to really access the full potential of this pedal it should be placed through the FX loop on your amp, the volume boost is exceptional. I used this in a band with 2 other guitar players (and a particularly loud drummer) and every time it helped my solos beat the sound man and cut through the mix.I would highly recommend this pedal to anyone looking for a bargain or an easy alternative to turning your guitar/amp up and down constantly for solo boosts. If something were to happen to this I would definitely run out and buy another. I have had it for 4 years and it barely has a mark on it.
