Electro-Harmonix LPB-2UBE

The LPB-2UBE is a stereo tube preamp in pedal format. It is a line-level unit, and Electro-Harmonix aimed it at both live and studio use. Mix (July 2003, p.83) described it as delivering smooth gain while staying quiet and transparent. It has master drive and master volume controls, and two inputs/outputs that work in either stereo or dual-mono mode. The list price at the time was $289.

Documentation on this model is thin. Production years, tube complement, and full specifications have not surfaced in the materials available to the Archive. The period press does confirm it got noticed. Sound on Sound's August 2003 issue carried a full product test of the unit (p.170). Nearly a decade later, Mix (September 2012, p.68) mentioned the LPB-2UBE still being used on recorded guitar parts, alongside the Electro-Harmonix Black Finger.

Known specs from the period press:

• Stereo tube preamp, line-level
• Stereo or dual-mono operation
• Two inputs / two outputs
• Master volume and master drive controls
• $289 list price in 2003
