Frequently Asked Questions - LPB-1 Electro Harmonix

How do I power the LPB-1?

The LPB-1 can be powered by a 9V battery (included) or an optional 9V DC power supply with center negative polarity. Connect the power supply to the 2.1mm jack on the pedal.

What does the LPB-1 do?

The LPB-1 is a linear power booster that provides up to 20 dB of clean gain. It boosts the signal without adding distortion, making it ideal for driving amplifiers or pushing effects.

Is the LPB-1 true bypass?

Yes, the LPB-1 features true bypass switching, ensuring that when the pedal is off, your guitar signal passes through unaffected.

How do I replace the battery?

To replace the battery, remove the four screws on the bottom plate, open the compartment, disconnect the old battery, connect a new 9V battery, and reassemble.

What is the input/output impedance?

The input impedance is 1 MΩ and the output impedance is 10 kΩ. This ensures good compatibility with most guitar pickups and pedal chains.

Can I use the LPB-1 with bass?

Yes, the LPB-1 works well with bass guitar and other line-level instruments. It provides a clean boost without altering the tone significantly.

What does 'linear power booster' mean?

Linear means the boost is clean and transparent, not adding distortion or coloration. The LPB-1 increases the volume evenly across frequencies.

How much boost can I get?

The LPB-1 provides up to 20 dB of gain. This is controlled by the single Volume knob. At maximum, it can significantly increase your output level.

Will the pedal work with a daisy chain power supply?

Yes, it can be used with a daisy chain as long as the power supply provides 9V DC and has enough current. The LPB-1 draws very low current (5 mA).

How do I clean the LPB-1?

Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the exterior. Avoid solvents. For the jacks, use a contact cleaner if needed. Keep the pedal away from moisture.

Power, from the internal 9-volt battery or external battery eliminator, is activated by plugging into the input. The input cable should be removed when the unit is not in use to avoid running down the battery. The input impedance presented at the Input Jack is 43 kohms. The output impedance at the Output Jack is 10 kohms.

The barrel connector on the front of LPB-1 is for a 9-volt battery eliminator capable of delivering 100 mA of current. The inner ring of the 9-volt battery eliminator must be negative, the outer ring positive. The unit's battery may be left in or taken out when the eliminator is in use.

To change the 9-volt battery, you must remove the 4 screws on the bottom of the LPB-1. Once the screws are removed, you can take off the bottom plate and change the battery. Please do not touch the circuit board while the bottom plate is off or you may damage a component.
