Precision matched components-using proprietary specifications to ensure symmetrical clipping and reduced intermodulation distortion.
True bypass switching with led indicator- this is achieved by using an extremely high grade switch, in addendum Solid 20 gauge copper hookup wire is used between the jacks and switching to create the most transparent bypass yet. Barber electronics has put as much work into the bypass as the overdrive circuit itself.
Full size pots- for durability and for easy serviceability if needed.
Hand made-we make the LTD one at a time and each one is signed and dated by the craftsman.
Extreme volume knob response circuitry-more shades shades and textures at your fingertips than ever before,just by adjusting your volume knob.
Cast aluminum enclosure-our incredibly durable enclosure will last decades if not centuries!
Double sided pc board with plate through holes-This is the way the military does it when they want electronics to work FOREVER! all pedals should be made this way , few are....once again Barber electronics draws the line in the sand!
Three knob control +2 internal adjustments -The LTD uses a simple three knob control layout to keep things easy on the performer. There are two more trim adjusts inside of the LTD so the most demanding player can match bass and presence to his/her needs.
Ready for 18 volt operation-The LTD operates from 9 volts to 18 volts, this allows use of higher voltage converters and supplies, for players who want to try higher voltage tweaks.
Vintage style components- Players have requested the use of carbon comp resistors, metalized polyester and silver mica caps. These components were thought to be only available on the highest priced pedals. Players asked, and we delivered...no problem!
Center EQ tone control- This Barber tuned vintage style control is meant to sound balanced at the 12 o clock position, from there going up adds treble and cuts bass, turning it down adds bottom and cuts treble. You will find plenty of control from the top of the LTD.
The Story:
The LTD was requested over and over again by the legions of low gain overdrive players that have been forced to try to "shoe horn" higher gain drives into service by operating them in the lowest part of their drive range. The LTD has been designed from the ground up for the low gain player. Now players of many styles including Blues, country, jazz, funk and beyond have the realistic mild breakup pedal that requires no excuses.
The Sound:
With a perfectly tuned drive and tone controls you will here terms like clean, purring, bloom, twang, sweet, balanced, smooth, clear, sustain, harmonics etc... flying through your head and hands!
