Admittedly, I don’t have perfect pitch, but I listened to the aforementioned demo & it didn’t bug me too much. Sounds like the B or high E’s a little out & the playing on the clean parts are a bit sloppy, but I’d say over all it was a good demo. He gets a couple good tones out of it. Honestly when it comes to amateur demos, all I want to hear are some simple chords & leads to see how a pedal sounds. It doesn’t have to be tuned perfectly. In fact if you’re using a 12 note per octave system you’ll never be perfectly in tune because of the imperfections of the chromatic scale, and even with that, unless you’ve got a guitar that has custom shaped frets, you’ll never have perfect intonation within the imperfect chromatic scale. This guy of course could have maybe intonated or tuned better, but really I don’t think it had a negative affect on his video.

And well they can’t control what goes up on youtube and trying to do so would alienate customers and impose certain standards that shouldn’t be imposed on musicians on the first place.

Nope, and most of the comments on the video are positive, maybe your standards are just higher than the general public’s?

Personally, I don’t expect huge technical proficiency or perfect sounding stuff with a pedal demo. I just want to hear what it sounds like & see some of the different things it can do so I can get an idea of how I might use it. The main thing I’d fault the guy on is for only demonstrating a couple higher gain sounds & very low gain sounds. I would have liked to hear some medium gain sounds out of it as well, would have liked to have heard how it could have beefed up his wimpy tele tone.

I wouldn’t expect a pro-demo of the LPB-2ube anytime soon, it’s been around for a long time & they only really make demos of the new stuff. When the tube pedals were released EH had a CD of a bunch of their pedals being demo’d by Peter Stroud, but they didn’t do the LPB-2ube for some reason. I’m sure the gain circuits in them are pretty similar & maybe you could listen to some of Peter Stroud’s demos of the other tube pedals to get a better idea for the LPB-2ube?

Although really you should take any demo of a gain pedal with a grain of salt since it’s going to probably sound different through your rig anyways.
