About This Listing

For sale is this Barber LTD V1 overdrive pedal in Good condition. Although currently not in production, according to the Barber site, "the LTD dishes out some of the sweetest and clearest overdrive tones ever heard!" I have to agree.

Just added internal PCB pics so you can see the internal Bass and Presence pots. I have them dimed to imitate the increased bass and top end flavors of the LTD V2, but that's the thing about Barber pedals -- they are built so that deep knob twiddlers like us can get the tone "just right."

It does have one strip of heavy duty hook-side Velcro on the back and some remnants of another loop. Tell me if you want it removed and I will do so as cleanly & carefully as possible.

No box or power supply; ships UPS Ground or USPS Priority.

The LTD contains ...

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 high grade switch, in addendum Solid 20 gauge copper hookup wire is used between the jacks and switching to create an exceptional bypass.

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 initialed and dated by the craftsman.

Volume knob response circuitry-more shades shades and textures at your fingertips just by adjusting your volume knob.

Cast aluminum enclosure- This is a very durable enclosure that should last a lifetime.

Double sided pc board with plate through holes-This is an extremely durable and top quality PCB with added serviceability from the top of the board.

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.

High quality components- Players have requested the use of carbon resistors, metalized polyester, Elna silk particulate audio caps and silver mica caps. These components were thought to be only available on the highest priced pedals. Players asked, and we delivered...no problem, no exaggerated "boutique builder" pricing.

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 knobs on-top of the LTD.

Barber adjustable phono style recovery stage- Most of our op-amp based overdrive pedals use a cool old style phonograph circuit to recover the frequencies lost in the overdrive stage, this worked great for vinyl and now works great for guitar overdrive!

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 hear terms like clean, purring, bloom, twang, sweet, balanced, smooth, clear, sustain, harmonics etc... flying through your head and hands!
