LOW / HIGH GAIN Overdrive / BOOST

  • Whether Blues, Rock, Funk, or Fusion, the LDP DELUXE is used worldwide by bass players who don’t want to replace their core tone, but refine and enhance it.
  • More punch, more control, more expression, without sacrificing low end.
  • For over 15 years, bass icons like Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten and Stanley Clarke and many others have trusted our bass pedals.
 
  • LDP DELUXE – LOW DOWN PRESSURE
    The LDP DELUXE is not a traditional bass overdrive pedal. It is a fully integrated low-end Drive and Boost system designed to add pressure, dynamics, and articulation while keeping the bottom end solid and defined. From clean enhancement to aggressive drive, the LDP DELUXE maintains clarity, punch, and low-frequency integrity at all times.

FEATURES

  • The LDP DELUXE combines three fully independent sounds in one pedal: LOW GAIN Overdrive, HIGH GAIN Overdrive, and BOOST
  • The LOCKED switch links LOW GAIN and HIGH GAIN Overdrive in a locked mode, allowing seamless switching between both sounds with a single footpress.
  • Each channel delivers its own distinct tonal character, switchable presets, and precise control: Level, Tone, and Drive for LOW GAIN OD and HIGH GAIN OD, Level and Tone for the BOOST channel.
  • The pedal features a specially developed mechanical True Bypass switching system with optimized noise suppression, delivering nearly pop-free switching, ideal for professional stage use.
  • Handcrafted in Germany, the LDP DELUXE Overdrive delivers maximum dynamics, tonal accuracy, and flexibility for musicians who demand uncompromising performance.
SOUNDS
  • Three Sounds. Full Control.
    • The LDP DELUXE combines three fully independent circuits in one compact enclosure: LOW GAIN Overdrive, HIGH GAIN Overdrive, and a powerful BOOST. Each section operates independently and can be used on its own or combined for maximum flexibility. The two overdrive sections cover everything from warm, tube-like saturation to focused, punchy drive with clear structure and definition. With the separate DEEP BOOST switches, the low end can be reinforced precisely, adding depth and pressure without becoming muddy.
  • BOOST with Character
    • The integrated BOOST delivers up to +20 dB of output level and is far more than a simple volume boost. It can be used as a transparent level boost, an active tone shaper, or an additional push into the amp’s input stage. The active tone control ranges from neutral to sweet and funky, making it ideal for modern bass sounds with presence, punch, and clarity.
  • Flexible, Compact, Stage-Ready
    • Despite its versatility, the LDP DELUXE remains intentionally clear and easy to operate. A small number of musically tuned controls allow fast, intuitive adjustment without distraction. The robust aluminum enclosure, mechanical true bypass with minimal switching noise, and the lockable overdrive section make the LDP DELUXE a reliable tool for both stage and studio use.
  • 18V Power Supply
    • Active basses often deliver a very high output level. In these cases, the LDP DELUXE can be operated safely at 18V. The increased operating voltage provides additional headroom and prevents unwanted distortion, even with hot pickups and highly dynamic playing.

FAQ

Noise / Side Noise:
Level controls: Three completely independent pedals in one enclosure!
Each sound of the LDP DELUXE operates fully independently. To keep the interaction perfectly balanced, the level controls should be carefully adjusted. Running all three channels at maximum settings produces extremely high output levels and may cause the pedal to become difficult to control. With finely balanced level settings for each channel, the sound remains precise, dynamic, and fully controlled.

18V Power Supply
Active basses often deliver a very high output level. In these cases, the LDP DELUXE can be operated safely at 18V. The increased operating voltage provides additional headroom and prevents unwanted distortion, even with hot pickups and highly dynamic playing.

Power Supply Notice:
For noise-free operation, we recommend using a stabilized, well-shielded power supply. Some digital power supplies, especially those with insufficient shielding, may cause hum or high-pitched noise.

When using a multi-output power supply, the outputs should be galvanically isolated from each other.

Any noise issues do not originate from the pedal itself, but are usually caused by an unsuitable power supply or an unfavorable device combination. It is possible that a power supply works perfectly with one pedal but produces noise with another.

If noise occurs, we recommend the following test:
Connect the pedal directly to the amplifier, do not connect a guitar, and power the pedal using a separate power supply. When switching the pedal on, only operation or gain-related switching and control noises should be audible, no hum and no high-pitched noise. This test is an effective way to check the pedal independently of the rest of the signal chain.
