All user reviews of 5/5 for the Electro-Harmonix LPB1

A boost.
A switch and a knob.
I admit that it is difficult to get any easier.
True bypass (that is fashionable!)

UTILIZATION

Simpler you die.

SOUND QUALITY

A booster gain, volume and bass.
Great for a rhythm that wants to spend a little more during the solos ... From the soloist!
Or a soloist who wants ... uh ... Booster his solos.

OVERALL OPINION

For 20 € of Cygnus, it's a great investment!
For a bit feeble in the lower bowl, a weakling amp gain, guitars that are a bit body, a 2nd pedaleboard payday (or even the main pedalboard ....). This pedal, c's all good especially for the price.

Booster pedal (Level Power Booster) to be precise, classic 9v power supply via transformer (I never put the battery I do not know if there's room for), mini size (hyper practice prevents).
Output Input IN / OUT.
Normal.

UTILIZATION

Well, one Bitonio ... A manual you say?
Turn the knob, the knob all round and I sing the sound-chan ♪ ♫!
The volume is increasing the more you turn, if it is zero: no sound.

SOUND QUALITY

I squinted over for a while.
Ridiculous price for the gear (20 € secondhand).
I played on a Mustang single-coil pickups, and low output volume level (I keep his microphone if it is not a Mustang item!) Therefore I wanted to boost its volume light, and the muscles in saturation.
This pedal adds the same in medium and severe (and essential fatty acids), suddenly she sounds of thunder, a very good attack, slap it right.
Add a drive or after distortion (in pedal format or amp up to you) if you want bigger sound, guaranteed results.
Coupled with my Boss SD-2, a Engl Screamer Combo, is a killer. The sound spectrum is filled, bass, midrange, treble guitar spring mix without any problems.

OVERALL OPINION

I deppuis uses 15 days, then yes a tube amp is the goal, but to enlarge a distortion of a transistor are all good too!
In the clear, dynamic respected mediums enriched slamming, everything is there.
Push it again and crunch.
Paste it as a distortion of his store and there it goes to the goal.
Some use especially for a cruncher lamps amp, why not me is to warm the sound of my Mustang (which is beautiful, but a bit feeble).
I'm a fan of EHX, it is public so to speak, but it is a mark of very good quality. I just tried this model, the positive opinion lurking on the internet.
Simplicity, practicality (! Tiny) on occasion for a pittance (cereals, spelled as you want), it is a great investment for anyone who wants boost his guitar and fat saturation and it colors the sound seems to be the colors are so successful.
I would do this choice nyeux closed!

UTILIZATION

A switch and a knob, what else?

SOUND QUALITY

I took the base boost gain, so at the beginning of the chain effect, in particular to wake the pickup when I want to play in a register "harder". Well success all the way! Whether on strat or P90 on Junior, the sound is more alive now articulated!
Whether cruncher or upstream of OD, the result is exactly what I expected. It is true that it adds bass, but for my two guitars is actually rather welcome. But suddenly, it's not necessarily top for each configuration. In addition, large reserves, I'm just under a quarter and it already much boost!

OVERALL OPINION

That € 35 well spent! Triple Kiss Cool effect: it crunch, it gives the gain pickups trestle a bit feeble when it is placed upstream of OD and it adds bass welcome (in my case).

This is an analog boost, super easy to use (one knob) which allows you to play harder.
true bypass, and no POK when it engages.
power supply: 9V battery (included, with Mike Matthews and his muscles!) or a power supply of type boss.
the pedal is made of metal, nano size (5.5 x 11cm). Solid! we can cram anywhere!
Last detail: the price! the build quality and the sound for the price!

UTILIZATION

one knob, which adjusts the output volume.
Access to the battery is painful: unscrew the bottom of the pedal.
the manual? What?

SOUND QUALITY

The boost is really impressive. When I plugged it in, I realized that this was what I was looking for years. You know, the demos on the internet, especially with Peter Stroud, these guitarists who cruncher their guitar with ease.
With this boost, the sound is louder, certainly, but it is also more "full" more present, more alive.
Clearly, you can go to the crunch (40% of the race) and overdrive.
Saturated, we get a more gritty sound, and above all a truly impressive sustain.

This pedal is not transparent, and lots of bass. I feel that the more you push the boost, the more they are present.
It happens to resolve the problem with the EQ on the amp.

OVERALL OPINION

IT happens to me more often not to use effects, but I can not do without this boost. We quickly get used to good things!

With a single channel amp, you can get some very interesting things.

It summarizes
Pros: price, production, look (personally, I like ...), efficiency, its very typical EHX
The -: access to the battery, low bp.

1 switch and 1 volume. Not need more.

UTILIZATION

Manual not needed unless major problems of understanding.

SOUND QUALITY

So there it's all good!
Front of the amp with a clean sound, the volume increases, have more scope to her.
In front of the amp distortion, the sound grows for leads or passages more nervous.
Personally I put it behind my distortion pedals to increase the volume when I solo and uses more power to "push" the amp if necessary.
Done wonders with my Delta Blues in particular to make the sound clear and glowing with the Dual Terror "testosteronner".
Not distort the sound, simply embellished!

OVERALL OPINION

IN-DIS-PEN-SAND!
May seem like a useful little effect at first but you will: swell the sound, turn up the volume for solos, render the warmer sound or boost a guitar more feeble than another depending on where you position it.
At that price it would be stupid to deny!

... used a booster booster, and it works perfectly

UTILIZATION

A button no-brainer, it's simple and effective, even the settings are very effective, large headroom, perfect for our little lamps supersaturated cherished, and get a big fat sound, never read the manual!

SOUND QUALITY

I do not see the difference in sound, except that due to the fact that the lamps is more saturated, but that's what I'm looking for and while keeping a good definition of acute and a good dose of serious

OVERALL OPINION

I am very happy with this pedal, especially given its price, it allows me not to change the settings on my amp and to have a similar distortion on my les paul and my strato (I used a lot of pedal with srtato not on the gibson) and I speak of course of amount of gain, distortion and not his, the two guitars will never sound the same course

This is a rather nice boost to see Electro-Harmonix. Like all the SERIES "nano" pedals this is pretty miniscule, convenient storage for a little less switcher, I find myself already in the "miss" .. if the whole is robust trs, the knobs is fixed and the switch does its job.

UTILIZATION

I think it not be easier, like some MXR (a knob, a sxitch and that's it), it RULES the boost according to his desires and go.
I can not find the switch that was so noisy I tell the truth or not more than just rev my RAT2, so no problem of the APRS I hope ct re recording that he will not hear.

SOUND QUALITY

Place in the beginners string (before distortion) it saves gain and sustain which is quite handy for solos but unworkable in rytgmique as too rough right now. (You have chosen: boost the bottom for solos or a midday boost over PCHE). the end of the oak, it increases the volume (of distortion pedals in particular) rather fawn consquente so use with prcaution. I use it primarily to switch between clean and well clear (with telecaster) a lightweight crunch that makes me almost a 4th channel. In disto's nice to sustain (my TV does not become an LP but not the fact) and add the feedback on what should scne her little effect.
I rditerais me on my next concert to see if it is reliable scne.

EDIT: here I could test it on scne is really convenient, it allows for a feedback control of the two piece is a small effect, and very practical to be heard during solos!

OVERALL OPINION

It's a little one pedals going around, not really necessary but a plus in the chain that helps to overcome my lack of saturation in single and have almost a crunch on the clean channel.
I do not see too much of intrt dpenser more for this type of pedals, since it just requires booster remaining transparent trs what it does well.

Booster pedals analog miniature.

UTILIZATION

Setup could not be more simple, one button to increase-decrease the effect (high boost race and important), a switch to enable-disable the effect.
It lacks just one graduation.
No need to book.

SOUND QUALITY

I was looking for an effect only to boost my solos and passages that it is transparent, in addition, I wanted little for lack of space on my pdalier.
Bingo, I Discoveries nano lpb-1.
Place chain in beginners, it increases the gain is saturated and lightweight cruncher in clear.
Place the end of the chain, it increases only the volume remaining transparent than is either saturated or clear.
A gal adjustable, the volume is a little more in taxes in saturated light.
In my case it is up the end of the chain and a great, and I am a pressure booster for solos, a pressure and I find my initial volume pedals and that with a miniature, c ' is exactly what I wanted.

OVERALL OPINION

I for a month, it is perfect ... simple, small, transparent, very effective booster, not too CHRE, what more!

Analog Booster

UTILIZATION

1 Button boost

SOUND QUALITY

I placed Xotic BB Preamp before and it makes me BBpreamp 2 channels the more saturated when the boost j'enclenche LPB1 excellent grain, it makes the booster at 37 euros

OVERALL OPINION

The LPB1 Staur at noon with humbuckers but with such simple Telecaster boost it in clean, well it depends disosns it is not a hyper Boost clean and transparent kind Boost / Line Driver MXR home, but it can add Additional sound key upstream distos, overdrives. Placed downstream it would sound strat 50/60 years just yucky on the treble.
A eesayer it's worth it anyway

boost. 1 Knob, you turn, it works ...

UTILIZATION

The manual, I did not understand, there were none, I struggled a bit ... There is no arrow indicating which direction you should turn the knob ... I stop going there.
1 Knob = 1 pot.

SOUND QUALITY

There I was a bit more mixed.
Yes it is clever, we do not want to spend too much on (because we do not have much ...) for CAE (hey that reminds me of my TAF) to 98 € ... Bah, so there was not a straight thing.
Yes the lpb-1 colors the sound, so it adds a little distortion, yes it is 39 € ... That being said.
I tested in 2 config. Mine (5150 and boost in the loop) where the volume is very sensitive and the amp of a friend (caliber 50 +) I was super nice sound with the single caliber, then I settled into the lead lpb1 crunch and with the amp before it is passed as lead ... Quick 3 channels now! So, it depends on situations, but I think it stands up very well.

OVERALL OPINION

2 months after having had, at first I hesitated to return, then I said we should give him a chance. I did well.
Unbeatable value for money except DIY (it's not complicated, for that matter ...). Go 9 because his name is LINEAR POWER BOOSTER ... Na.

a booster of all that is simpler


UTILIZATION

I use it early in the chain to make the same volume compared to my Gretsch guitars I already own
very simple to use:
1 switch
1 volume

SOUND QUALITY

for my gretsch sound is perfect no sound distorted
I tried it with my Start and I'm afraid the highs are gone!
but hey I bought it and test for the gretsch and it did!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months
she does wonders with the gretsch
care to try it before buying it because the sound is very different according to different guitars (not good at all with my Start!)
I would make the same choice for my gretsch
