Introducing the Seventy 4 overdrive pedal by LPD Pedals (Lawrence Petross Design), a true tribute to the iconic 70s British amps. This handcrafted, all analogue overdrive pedal is designed for guitarists seeking authentic vintage tone combined with modern reliability.
The LPD Pedals Seventy 4 captures the essence of the era's metal face Plexis and the first master volume British amplifiers. Turning the gain past 12 o’clock transforms your sound into modded Plexi tones, rich with harmonic content and endless sustain, echoing the behaviour of a cranked valve amp. From gritty overdrive to a roaring, saturated lead, the LPD Pedals Seventy 4 offers a full spectrum of tonal possibilities.
One of the standout features of the LPD Pedals Seventy 4 is its responsive tone stack. The high, mid, and low EQ controls allow you to shape your sound precisely, mirroring the functionality of the original amps. The mid control is particularly impactful, offering significant tone sculpting capability. Unlike typical overdrive pedals, the LPD Pedals Seventy 4 provides a unique voice with high frequency bite and compression reminiscent of a British Plexi amps pushed to their limits.
Central to the Seventy 4's sound are the TL062 op amps, selected for their low current consumption and characteristic clipping. These op amps introduce a slower slew rate, delivering a smooth and "smooshy" feel when driven hard.
The Seventy 4 pedal is built to last, housed in a rugged cast aluminium enclosure. Its distinctive Autumn Black powder coating, exclusive to LPD Pedals, not only ensures durability but also adds a unique visual flair. This attention to detail reflects Lawrence Petross's commitment to quality and excellence. The custom aluminium knobs, also unique to LPD Pedals, are designed for ergonomic control, making adjustments easy and intuitive during play.
The LPD Pedals Seventy 4 stands out with its advanced switching technology. Featuring Carling style switches, renowned for their low bounce and exceptional durability, this pedal guarantees smooth and reliable operation every time. These switches are built to last, making them ideal for both studio and stage environments. Lawrence Petross personally codes the switching system to ensure seamless performance and flawless integration. His meticulous approach to design is evident here. One notable feature is the “last state memory,” which remembers your settings and automatically restores them upon power up, allowing you to maintain your creative flow without interruption.
Every LPD Pedal, including the Seventy 4, reflects Lawrence Petross’s deep expertise in amplifier circuits. His extensive experience building custom tube amps and analysing almost every tube amp circuit released, allows him to recreate the amp's architecture within a 9-24 volt system, ensuring the signal processing captures the classic amp essence. This meticulous attention to the signal, power supply, and circuit interactions results in pedals that deliver the same dynamic response and tonal character as their valve amp counterparts.
In summary, the LPD Pedals Seventy 4 is more than just an overdrive pedal; it’s a blend of Lawrence Petross’s technical knowledge and passion for vintage tone.
Each circuit is carefully crafted to deliver rich harmonics, natural compression, and the tactile feedback of a vintage amp. This dedication ensures that every LPD Pedal provides a truly satisfying and responsive playing experience.
