The LPB-1 by EHX - The It's Electra Series

In this episode, we check out the LPB-1 from Electro-Harmonix. When we went down the rabbit hole that is the Electra Distortion we discovered some pedals that most likely played a role in its creation. We decided we wanted to try them out and included them in the series. This pedal is an exact re-creation of the original LPB-1 circuit, which ushered in the age of overdrive in 1968. Put the EHX LPB-1 in front of any effect to dramatically increase definition from its cleaner and heavier input drive. Control the gain and saturation of any amp. The LPB-1 puts impact into your tone.
