    Man this thread is so hi-jacked… ;-)

    I just played around with this diode to ground setup on a tube booster the other day. Very nice. It softens things up a bit more than compressing it maybe. Smoother distortion. Take a look at the Muff Fuzz for comparison. It’s almost like to LPB’s cascaded with a pair of diodes to ground right before the volume pot.

    nah, I like to call it natural modulation. ;)

    Why would you use it after a distortion? What is the different effect created? Sorry if this is getting the thread off topic.

    I’ll have a go at answering this. (and don’t worry about the thread wandering slightly) I use my LPB-1 quite a bit in different situations and distortions running into it can sound really good….it seems to add a really nice tonal quality imo, but it generally sits somewhere in the middle of my chain. my favorite ‘clean’ tone is the soul preacher into the lpb-1 it sounds bloody great, I don’t know why but it does! and I also run it between 2 dirt pedals sometimes, that way I can use it to drive the pedal after it into higher gain and also use the drive before to push the LPB-1 which seems to enhance the top end and make it sound really jangly. I seriously wish I owned 3 LPB-1’s I could use them all over my set up!!

    I appreciate all the responses.I only use 2 pedals.Boss ME 50 and the LPB-1.We’ve been trying different settings.Seems I need to keep the distortion level output at a low setting.(on the Boss).Seems to be working out right now.

    I love the lpb-1 on it’s own or with my double muff, but I cannot find a happy place on the big board without suffering volume drops if it comes before certain pedals, or unwanted breakup if it’s too close to my delays :(

    I’ve noticed, when using the LPB-1 with my Fende Pro Jr. that, if I play at a considerable amp level (let’s 5-6), I get an ‘anti-boost’ (i.e. lower volume) when I turn the LPB-1 below 10 o’clock. With the amp below 5-6, I get a great boost, with no extra overdrive, when I put the LPB-1 at 12 o’clock.

    I’ve noticed that too with mine below about 8 o’clock.

    yeah, that’s because the amp will only go as loud as it will go, when you turn the volume up on the amp, you start to decrease it’s headroom…..if you turn the amp on full volume you probably won’t get any volume boost at all, just more distortion.

    every amp has it’s limits.
