The LPB-1 Nano was an impulse buy for me, and I use it very often. I also bought it cause the price and because I simply just wanted a pedal to take home. I usually have it cranked, which sounds fat and dirty. At about half way it gives the obvious boost and some dirt, which is also very nice. It also works great to bring your Fuzz/Distortion/Overdrive pedals over the top or to give them an extra push. It does nothing over the top by itself, but I’ve found it really useful. I’ve never had my hands on any of the vintage ones though, but I’m assuming you were asking about the Nano version. Anyway, I give the LPB-1 Nano several thumbs up.

AGREED

i prefer the power jacks and the smaller enclosures on the xo series. also, i do usually enjoy tb haha. however, the casings looked way cooler. for example; i love the germanium od, however imo, the graphics are pretty lame. i feel the graphics, or whatever you’d call them, also add to the “mojo”. pretty much every one of the vintage ehx pedals’ graphics had this unique, classic, yet simple style. idk, maybe it’s just me, but i do care about what the top of a pedal looks like haha. although, i’ll still buy a pedal even if the top of it looks silly to me.

just used my friends to record the other day. loved it. i am now too… searching.

your description makes me want to buy the doctor q immediately. i think i shall.

i love it’s vibrato. i havn’t played a vintage one, however i’ve been watching one on the bay going for 175 usd. i’ve read that the vintage ones are better. that is obviously not a surprise. however, i’m not sure if i believe that, but i’d obviously have to play one to compare.
