Used Electro Harmonix (E/H) LPB-2 POWERBOOSTER Vintage Distortion/Overdrive Pedal

Description

This Electro-Harmonix (E/H) LPB-2 Powerbooster (Linear Power Booster) is a vintage stompbox designed to boost your guitar’s signal to push tube amplifiers into natural, harmonically-rich overdrive. Released in the 1970s, it serves as the floor-pedal version of the brand's pioneering LPB-1.

The LPB-2 is highly regarded for its deceptively simple, robust design and its ability to provide a massive clean boost (up to 26dB) to make solos cut through a mix.

Here are the key characteristics of the classic LPB-2:

• Circuitry: Features a classic 1960s preamp design that adds vintage character without unwanted distortion.

• Controls: Equipped with a single volume knob to dial in the desired amount of boost.

• Design: Unlike the original "cigar-box" LPB-1 that plugged directly into an amplifier, the LPB-2 was built as a traditional floor stompbox. It notably featured a secondary footswitch (which is often wired as an on/off or mute switch).

• Impedance: Like early fuzz units, it features a low input impedance. For the best tone, it is highly recommended to place it first in your signal chain rather than after buffered pedals
