Key Features
The Electro Harmonix LPB-3 Linear Power Booster is an essential tool for musicians aiming to enhance their sound with precision and power. This revamped version of a classic booster incorporates an active 3-band EQ with a parametric Mids control, offering up to 33dB of clean boost. The ability to fine-tune frequencies with adjustable MID FREQ and Q settings makes this pedal exceptionally versatile for both live performances and studio recordings.
Designed in Electro Harmonix's compact Nano-sized chassis, the LPB-3 is both space-efficient and robust, suitable for any pedalboard. It features selectable Buffered or True Bypass switching, allowing players to preserve their tone regardless of setup. Additionally, the internal 30V power rails significantly extend headroom, providing a broader dynamic range and a clearer sound at high volumes. This pedal is a modern homage to the LPB-1, the very effect that launched Electro Harmonix in 1968, updated for today’s discerning musician.

The Electro Harmonix LPB-3 stands out with its active 3-band EQ, featuring dedicated controls for treble, bass, and a highly adjustable parametric mids section. This feature allows musicians to sculpt their sound with unparalleled precision, making it easier to cut through a mix or adjust their tone to suit different musical contexts. Whether tweaking subtle nuances for studio recording or dialling in the perfect live sound, the LPB-3 offers comprehensive control over your sonic palette.
Power is at the core of the LPB-3, offering up to 33dB of clean gain. This substantial boost capability ensures that your instrument stands out during solos or when you need to elevate your presence in a live mix. The boost is controlled via a simple knob and a MAX switch that toggles between 20dB and 33dB, providing versatility whether you're looking for a slight increase in volume or a significant amplification without distortion.
Flexibility in signal flow is crucial for modern musicians, and the LPB-3 accommodates this with selectable Buffered or True Bypass switching. This feature allows players to choose how the pedal interacts with other equipment in their signal chain. Opt for True Bypass to eliminate any signal interference when the pedal is disengaged or select Buffered Bypass to maintain a strong, clear signal across extensive pedal setups.
The LPB-3 is designed with internally extended 30V power rails, which significantly enhance the pedal's headroom. This means the pedal can handle louder playing styles and higher gain settings without clipping or loss of tone quality. Such high voltage rails ensure that the pedal operates with a clearer and more dynamic response, ideal for both clean boosts and driving amps harder for a richer, more saturated sound.
