Description

The Electro-Harmonix EH-2002 LPB-1 Linear Power Booster is a classic reimagining of the legendary pedal that helped define the sound of rock music. This iconic pedal, originally introduced in the late 1960s, serves as a faithful reproduction of the original circuit design, delivering clean, transparent boost without altering your guitar’s inherent tone. Perfect for driving your amplifier into natural overdrive or simply adding a touch of extra punch to your solos, the LPB-1 is a versatile tool for any guitarist's pedalboard.

This pedal is known for its simplicity and effectiveness, with a single control knob that adjusts the gain level to your preference. Whether you're looking to add subtle warmth or a more pronounced volume lift, the LPB-1 is your go-to choice. Its compact design ensures it fits snugly into any pedalboard setup, while its durable construction promises reliability for gigging musicians.

Electro-Harmonix has maintained the pedal's true bypass switching, ensuring that your signal remains uncolored when the pedal is not in use, a crucial feature for maintaining pure tone integrity. The LPB-1 is powered by either a 9V battery or an optional AC adapter, providing flexibility for any stage or studio environment.

  • Reproduction of the original 1968 LPB-1 circuit
  • Clean, transparent boost for enhancing guitar tones
  • Single gain control knob for simplicity
