All user reviews for the Electro-Harmonix LPB1

Booster guitar. A switch (noisy) to trigger the effect, a knob "boost" dose to effect. simple and efficient, all in a compact and robust.

UTILIZATION

joined prcedemment what I said. No need for manual, simply assay the effect depending on the desired level. on the other hand, the switch is noisy, a "click" being heard CHARACTERISTICS each press. considering the price, it is surprising gure, but hey, it's the only parliaments of use with the knob, even when they have been treating this essential!

SOUND QUALITY

The sound reproduction dpend greatly from the location where you place it in your chaining effects. For my part, I just place my APRS strata, while beginners chain to compensate for the diffrence between this gain and my dernire LP. In this case, the effect is completely transparent, Fidler reproducing the color of the guitar sound, content to bring him PCHE.

APRS, I tried to put my APRS distos and my wah, and a default increases the cry of my baby, ie boost the treble and high mdiums for r RESULT plutt ugly as too garish. Indeed, this transparent pedals just to amplify the signal of what lies ahead, including quality and default.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month, and it matches my expectations and I use to know him assign offset the Difference in level between my LP and my Start without constantly having to play on my pedals volume. It has plutt well (if we except the popping sound when you press the switch) I o the place in my chaining of effects, for a report qualitprix dfiant any competition .

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!

just a booster
A solid metal case
a volume button
not editable
pedal format
analog
Input jack, output jack, a jack for Boss tuner format.

UTILIZATION

Easier? I do not see.
Manual useless.
We selected the amount of boost you want, it switches on, and off you go.

SOUND QUALITY

Personally, I have not seen coloring the sound.
I use a Peavey Classic 30, with a Telecaster and an old Ibanez SB70.

OVERALL OPINION

I have since about two months. I have not tried other model. I was looking for a boost and did not want to ruin me. Good pick.
The quality / price is not bad at all.
I would do without any problems this choice without saying that I will not try other brands.

This is a booster could not be more simple, with a potentiometer to adjust the boost level precisely.
The series in Nano Electro Harmonix takes the classic effects of the brand, but in a smaller metal box, with the obligation to remove the 4 screws behind to remove the batteries. Cheaper but less convenient.

UTILIZATION

With only one pot, it's hard to be simpler. I recommend with tube amps to put this in the loop to obtain a much better result.

SOUND QUALITY

I use it with Orange tube amps, the dual terror and Rockerverb, with guitars solid body types with double coils. Basically, this pedal allows me
1. to have a crunch channel as well as a clear channel and a saturated, when the pedal is pressed on the clean channel.
2. to act as a booster on the solo channel in full.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using less than a year, and I am very happy. The boosters need to be simple and effective, this one fits perfectly.

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

see other reviews

UTILIZATION

use could not be more simple.
Note that where the action is the most transparent is when placed in the effects loop.

SOUND QUALITY

Relatively neutral (hard to tell whether the small change is due to saturation of the lamps or staining of the pedal), headroom énoooorme!
Again, place the loop of effects!

OVERALL OPINION

Why pay more?
It is really solid and more
10/10! Clean sweep for MXR!

then it is a boost pedal with a button to toggle off and a boost button adjustable power boost.

it plugs into a jack like distortion pedal and others.

The case is very solid metal.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use .... the power set point and snap the line.

TFW manual ..... for gogol ...

SOUND QUALITY

then I bought it for more power in my slap (slap death metal ...)

used with a warwick 5 string Bubinga active.

This pedal is monstrous it gives a terrible power.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 15 days.

I have tried many models for more than 80 euros and 28 euros boom happiness.

Excellent value for money I would do this choice.

EDIT: huge mass problem ... she almost farted my speakers! good repair, but beware! absolutely huge buzz!
