All user reviews for the Electro-Harmonix LPB-2ube

This is a dual analog preamp tube pedal format.
- 4 knobs, 1 switch (low or high volume) 2 lamps, bypass, 2 red LEDs.
- 2 inputs / mono outputs (independent circuits can be coupled to double the preamp mono source, its huge mega at the turn).
Enchassé all in a sturdy metal case as some other pedals brand.
This is the basis for a preamp / distortion for bass.

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration, a pedal, you plug the source of inputs, outputs what you want (except toasters and stuff), the knobs, the switch and tweak until you turn has full;

SOUND QUALITY

This is a very versatile tool, I also use it in many cases, as do all preamp distortion or as nasty or as fatifieur sound. It's rarely happened to me to tell me "eventually no" once a source .. Basically: sampling, bass, drum machine, synthesizer, guitar, mpc or whatever you imagine.
Note the possibility of doubling the preamp stage, mono (the signal coming out of a circuit that feeds back into the other is recovered).
Note the presence of a switch input level that can serve as fatifieur.
In short this pedal calls for the establishment and fits everywhere, I plan to buy 2 more to have a big big big big sound to the mix, to see what it makes.

EDIT: Following the advice of an Italian sound engineer mastering, I first used on groups that pass the "drums", does it work so well since, I use a second, everything is patched to two pairs of groups in order to have a uniform on all of these groups: fatal!

OVERALL OPINION

I have a lot of pedals, but few preamp itself, although here, you'll understand that it's more of a Swiss Army knife that can warm your nicely fried to a brothel or downright impossible.
the occas ranges from 80 to 150, which is a very good price, I have the impression that the brand will adopt this model because it is less distributed.

This is a stereo preamp pedal tube
You can adjust the input volume, the volume and drive of each channel

UTILIZATION

So easy .. You press the switch and UP .. it works ...
Were not even need a manual ...

SOUND QUALITY

I have no breath ...
I use it between my POD X3 Live and my Fireface 400 sound card.
It gives color presets Pod lamp.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had six months.
He does his job, that's all ..
I do not see any negatives.
Value for money right ...
Yes, I buy it

What are the effects or types of effects available? What technology is used? (Analog, numrique, lamp ...) Are they ditables? Via an editor Mac / PC? What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI) Is this a rack or rack MODEL? *

Submitted as it is often a low effect, but conviend trs good guitar! the two lamps, the sound really archauffe is quite a little bonus, notte a choice of high or low input mode that gives rglages DIFFERENT and can fit a lot of use, it also input and output mono or stereo, mono the two lamps are used all the same you can enter and exit mono and stereo inverssement. used as a boost or as prample

UTILIZATION

Configuration gnrale Is it easy? The edition sounds and effects is it easy? The manual is clear and sufficient? * ...

EHX is the so simple and effective.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are they effective, suitable and adequate ralistes? Which instruments do you use? What are those you prfrez, you dtest? *

great for normal use, Global Warming and the sound adds to the dynamism, it also serves to make me record directly to my PC, a swelling sound, finally, it boosts the effects numriques (I have almost none, but I had a bad effect pdalier multi journey along well with the bte!)

OVERALL OPINION

How long you use it and what is the particular feature you like best and least? Have you tried many other models before acqurir? How do you report qualitprix ? With the exprience, you do again this choice? * ...

I use it for 6 months, I love the fact that the lamps are easily accessible and therefore easy to change colors for its DIFFERENT, even if most of the time I use my 12AX7, I have not tried many other pramp, at least none that I sought to compare the one I use, it does its job and does it well! The report price is trs acceptable quality and style over the thing (I think ...) so yes, I would do this choice with his eyes closed, APRS n'exlus not the fact that I can research be another device for complter ...

Tube preamp. Used with a Nord Electro keyboard 3 to give punch and warmth

UTILIZATION

Very simple to use stereo or mono. Opportunities for fine adjustments

SOUND QUALITY

Perfectly meets my expectations: heat of digital sound and effective overdrive gives a tremendous energy

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 1 year. The output level is very low Electro3 the preamp I can not make me cover by the group of friends.
I can use it in mono or stereo.
It really works and the type of light used, we come to get a sound color following its desires and expectations.

Would recommend

Tube 2 channel pedal that can act as preamp or overdrive by chaining.
2 in LR and LR 2 out jack format
2 volumes and 2 gains
A switch on / off
A knob input level low / hi
2 lamps 12AX7WB
Alim provided, doesn't stack.
- The pedal is 22 cm long (bent cables included) on 15.5, broad (PSU included), it takes up space!


UTILIZATION

Rapid test on my monitor speakers (mono): "input low level position" * the guitar in the R, R out in the L, L-out in an active speaker :
By varying the drive and gives a solid volume overdrive, but I just tested 5 minutes to go and include it quickly into my board and make the fateful test: do I let go 130 € for OD? Knowing that I already have 2 that suit me very well, or is it that I found my Holy Grail?
This pedal is THE solution I was looking for ages! Having a portable stereo, that is to say, have roughly the same sound everywhere (provided you have 2 amps available)


SOUND QUALITY

I especially could test the preamp side of the pedal, it is located at the end of my chaining attack and my stereo power amp or 2 amps (combos) during repeated (I play on amps of the scratch group with whom we share the room)

My chaining (in a homemade boiboite):
The scraper (Lag Rockline std Beadf-# b) / phaser / IV Whammy / 535Q Wha / vox bigben / Moen VM / TN SS20 / Giga Delay (stereo output) / LP2UBE (input and output stereo) / Peavey Classic 50/50 or 2 amps to choose from.

I therefore used in stereo station is 2 separate channels, knob input level in the HI position and permanently activated.
Remaining reasonable gains (from 1 to 3) gives a good clear sound, even with much ado about strings that do not crunch. By pushing the gains we get a slight overdrive but I do not really tested the OD side knowing that I wanted most of all have clear sound.
The 2 separate channels, it is frankly bonnard! At local, one of the amps that feature no longer works: the power amp blocked donf (sta knob virtually no work), the normal technique of a normal scratch would be to increase the volume of the 2nd amp to have the same volume of 2 sides, I have matured (authorship, no doubt), I lower the volume and gain the right side of the 2UBE hop and the singer is happy!

Note:
- No buzz parasite in this config '(tautology Provence!) As I would not initiate disto (lol) but as Lemmy said, "when you play hard, you do not hear it blowing!".



OVERALL OPINION

In Stereo (2 in 2 out) before attacking your amps: good little preamp from light to light overdrive.
Mono (channel 1 and 2 "bridged" see *) anywhere in your chaining effects: overdrive very suitable for the little that I tried.
Finally, I have a good clean sound, that's exactly what I wanted: a preamp "portable" that can fit into a pedalboard or remain permanently in a rack amp (with Velcro).
It adds depth and warmth to my sound, I had a sound of an elephant, I now have a mammoth sound!
I would do this direct selection, if it were possible I would go back in time even for having been around longer, but I do not have "DeLorean."
