Electro Harmonix LPB1 vs Gearmanndude Time Bomb Boost pedal

[johnstangg]

Reverb = boss btw

[MikefromMesia]

the LPB1 is a great pedal; but i never used it, so i gave it to my little brother and bought a Luther Drive. FTW!

[flammingcarrot]

one adds color ... the other doesn't. ... both sound great! I prefer the LPB1 myself. They do different things.

[chirrizmalmsteen]

yahhh reverb sucks

[victor1997ification]

Can i use the Electro Harmonix LPB1 together with an overdrive pedal?

[umbreontrainer94]

great vid man, this actually helped me out a lot with those two pedals since ive been wanting to pick one up, btw your voice reminds me of dale from king of the hill for some reason lol \m/

[userboy6]

@tankarlos give the Fulltone FatBoost a try, you might like it, i do!

[mad0elga]

can u put the luther drive and the time bomb in one box. kinda like the homebrew paradrive? If you could i would seriously consider buying one.

[MetalgodNo2]

@mad0elga Oddly enough you had the same idea as i did Mad0elga, mabye we could get GMD to build these if theres anybody else who might want one besides us two...

[tankarlos]

men i want a booster

wich one:

LPB1

OD-3 boss

EQ boss

please answer me

[EchtellionN]

@tankarlos The only booster you named is the LPB-1...

The OD-3 will colour your sound, it cannot be clean. It is a distortion pedal.

The EQ (GE-7) is a tone control. It can change the gain, but it is best used for giving shape to your sound and tone. If you give a +6dB boost to each band, it can be a booster, but it can do much more.

The LPB-1 is a clean boost. It adds gain, without colouring it (or the least possible). It can add sufficient gain to make an amp go into overdrive.

[AceOfHeart2012]

There's is a placement trick when using a Strat I've discovered with this pedal that provides the cleanest boost. Message me if you want the details.

[Musicunseen95]

i feel obligated to buy every pedal that gmd reviews lol

[JimijaymesGuitarist]

Can we find more info about the TBB anywhere? Like what it uses to boost some specs etc

[MFJord1]

do you put on that shoes for fun when u're going to do a demo?

[henkiewessel]

pretty proud about your white coily cable right xD

[Ncuab]

EHX LPB-1 - sounds fuller and a little smoother, seem to have more boost to it as well

Time Bomb Boost - sounds brighter and slightly more transparent

*like always, it depends on what you're looking for

[Runelaier]

i am thinking of getting myself a Robert keeley time machine boost pedal. Is that pedal god for the music i play, i play. AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Ozzy osbourne and metallica...

[ThePathofHavoc]

Both pedals sound great. The LPB-1 can't be beat for the money. I use it after my dirt boxes for a little extra oompf. It adds a little bit of grit at higher settings too which is cool.

[itayash]

i m lookmnig for clean boost 1knob low price

is there anthing u offer i realy dont like the lpb

[jakeblandjk47]

versus has a U in it.

[Vince70]

Jesus, check out the bitter response to the reverb joke! That's like people flipping out about Archie Bunker or Andrew Dice Clay in the 70s and 80s. Hey, where's Nora Dunn at these days?

[dan122189]

LPB-1 sounds better. Don't you agree Jack? ....Jaack?

[100roberthenry]

mmm.....nice boots..

i mean boost............

[SkyDogJr]

Yeah, reverb sucks....ask the Ventures or Dick Dale.... they certainly have not made it as far in the music biz as you have my friend....

[c32linder]

relax...

[dan122189]

Jack Black?

[jjuup]

GMD are you using a 2N5088 or a 2N3904 in your booster?

[brendan12guitar45]

jack black lol

great video though. pretty informative. thanks a lot.

[zordakAU]

Where did you get the coiled cable??

[Redleaves]

time bomb sound really good....i still like that lpb1 better, but i'm an EH snob, they each have their place

[AcrossTheTen]

EH snob? haha thats fucking hilarious.

[787Bisurdaddy]

I actually like reverb BECAUSE it sucks.

[DubsMood]

it is spelled versUs, not verses...

verses can be heard regularly before choruses.

hahaha.

[gearmanndude]

Doh!!!! Thanks....

ROCK!

GMD

[topicrass]

you watch a lot of simpsosn right

Dòh!

[zeppage4]

Hahaha loved that ending.

I'm lookin' into a boost or overdrive pedal to put in front of my amps dirt channel for leads.

[LirvAOfficialLirvA]

"oh hai, I'm Reverb. I'm just minding my own business, doing my thing, and this asshole gearmanndude is all hating on me? WTF? You've got some serious problems, sir. I've never done anything malicious to you. I'm just a simple effect. What's your problem? You don't like spaciousness?

GFY GMD, respectfully yours, Reverb."

lol

On a serious note, the sound quality is kind of bad in this video, and another recent one I think. Might have to do some adjusting or something.

[gearmanndude]

Dear Reverb...FU...a stronger letter will follow...

kidding....really hilarious...nearly poo'ed myself!

ROCK ON!

GMD

ps....I know, the sound was farty...amp too loud I guess..sorry bout that....

[seanlateralus]

who is GMD?

[brimill1980]

@gearmanndude hey man bring chorus into the mix and we can start a revolution :] chorus???? Grrrrr :]

[jroberto1994]

@gearmanndude an amp is never too loud

[1984kevingriffin]

@LirvAOfficialLirvA Dont mess with the GMD!!!

[redbird963]

Are you Jack Black?

[Agolove]

yeah!! ahah the voice is quite similar! is JACK!!!!!!!!

[d00derson]

You shoulda thrown an MXR Micro Amp in there for the hell of it. Not that your Time Bomb isn't worthy or anything (hell, it sounds mighty fine) I just like my boost pedals to have one knob. No exceptions.

[iagobroxado]

would go with the Time Bomb. Much more versatile.

[gearmanndude]

Muchas Gracias mi amigo!

thanks for the post

ROCK ON!

GMD

$90 shipped in the US

$120 shipped international

[phildodd]

making the Timebomb roughly 3 times more expensive than the LPB...

Jus' sayin' is all...

[kebekoi66]

How did you pay for the LPB-1?
