Description

The LPD Pedals Bedlum recreates the unmistakable tone, feel, and response of the legendary D style amplifier built for Robben Ford, famously used on his Talk To Your Daughter album. Designed by Lawrence Petross, the LPD Pedals Bedlum captures the expressive, touch sensitive drive and harmonic complexity of that amp in a compact, pedalboard friendly format. It delivers the sound and behaviour of a high end boutique amp without the weight, volume, or maintenance that comes with it.

The sound is rich, articulate, and full of musical texture. At lower drive settings, it offers smooth, singing tones with a clear midrange voice perfect for expressive rhythm or lead work. Pushing the Drive and engaging the PAB footswitch unlocks a more focused, harmonically complex overdrive that responds beautifully to pick attack and guitar volume changes. The Mass control adds depth and low end girth before the clipping stage, allowing players to shape the body of their tone with precision, while the Tone knob adds sparkle and presence to taste. Whether set for subtle edge of breakup warmth or full, sustaining overdrive, the LPD Pedals Bedlum remains open, dynamic, and sensitive to every nuance of the player’s touch.

Playing through the LPD Pedals Bedlum feels natural and immediate. It reacts to the guitar and player rather than imposing itself on them. Every note breathes, blooms, and fades with the fluidity of a real amp pushed into its sweet spot. The PAB switch offers an instant lift in gain and EQ contour, perfect for stepping forward in the mix or adding extra bite for solos, while the pedal’s intuitive control layout makes tonal adjustments quick and effortless mid set.

The controls are familiar and responsive: Master adjusts overall output, Drive sets preamp gain, Tone governs treble content much like an amp’s presence control, and Mass shapes the pre clipping bass for fine tuned thickness. Inside, Treble and Mid trimmers complete the D style tone stack, and the Rock, Bright, and Deep voicings are built directly into the circuit. The result is a pedal that balances authenticity with flexibility, providing everything from smooth fusion tones to gritty, articulate drive with ease.

At its heart, the LPD Pedals Bedlum’s analogue circuit faithfully mirrors the feel and harmonic balance of the original D style design. Each component is tuned for dynamic response, ensuring the pedal retains the touch sensitivity and clarity that made those amps legendary. The true bypass system preserves signal integrity when the pedal is off, and the soft touch switching includes last state memory for modern reliability on stage or in the studio.

Built in a durable, all metal enclosure, the Bedlum is ready for life on the road. The layout is clean and functional, with clearly labelled controls, solid footswitches, and a bright LED indicator for clear visibility under stage lights. Power comes from a standard 9 to 18 volt DC supply, giving players the option of increased headroom and tighter response when run at higher voltage.

Finished with understated graphics and a professional design, the LPD Pedals Bedlum looks as good as it sounds. Every detail serves a purpose, from the top mounted jacks that keep pedalboards tidy to the reliable switching and compact footprint.

For guitarists chasing the fluid, articulate drive of the famous #102 Dumble amp, the LPD Pedals Bedlum delivers it with authenticity and character. It’s smooth yet powerful, refined yet expressive, the sound and feel of a classic amplifier, captured in a pedal that inspires every time it’s switched on.
