Description

The LPD Pedals Eighty7 is an all analogue overdrive and distortion pedal designed to capture the unmistakable tones of the modded British amplifiers that powered 1980s rock and metal. Sitting naturally in any guitarist’s or bassist’s signal chain, it delivers the sound and feel of a roaring Plexi or JCM800 straight to your amp or recording setup. With its latest refinements, the LPD Pedals Eighty7 now features top mounted jacks for cleaner pedalboard organisation, soft touch switching for silent operation, and an internal bright switch for fine tuning your high end response.

The LPD Pedals Eighty7 was created to deliver the classic studio tones heard in LA during the height of the ‘80s recording scene. Its two distinct modes, Green and Red, give you instant access to a wide range of gain textures. Green mode is based on a hot rodded JCM800 that offers a biting crunch and articulate definition, with a little more gain and a tighter response than the stock amp. It can easily move from gritty rhythm tones to bluesy overdrive and even classic rock leads. Red mode, on the other hand, is inspired by a Jose Arredondo modified Plexi circuit, known for its thick, harmonically rich saturation and smooth compression. Together, these two voices cover almost every essential tone from that golden era , from searing solos and power chord punch to dynamic, touch sensitive overdrive that cleans up beautifully when you roll back your guitar volume.

Playing through the LPD Pedals Eighty7 feels alive and responsive. The pedal reacts to pick attack and player dynamics in a way that mirrors a real amp, rewarding subtlety as much as aggression. The soft touch footswitch engages quietly, and the internal voltage runs at 24 volts from a standard 9 V supply, providing extra headroom and sustain without adding noise. Whether you’re rehearsing, recording or on stage, it offers a direct connection between your hands and your tone, encouraging expressive playing and effortless transitions from rhythm to lead.

Its controls are intuitive, offering straightforward adjustment of level, gain and tone. The internal bright switch allows you to fine tune the interaction of the gain circuit and treble response, making it easy to dial in the right balance for any guitar or amplifier. From light drive to full on distortion, the response remains dynamic and amp like.

At the heart of the LPD Pedals Eighty7 is a JFET based circuit designed to emulate the harmonic behaviour and dynamic feel of valve amplifiers. Running internally at 24 volts gives it high headroom, greater sustain and impressive clarity, while film capacitors in the signal path ensure rich harmonic content and low noise. The relay based true copper bypass maintains total signal integrity when the pedal is off. Every component and interaction has been chosen to capture the essence of those classic tube circuits without compromise.

Built to last, the LPD Pedals Eighty7 comes in a rugged cast aluminium enclosure finished in striking Jamaican Teal powder coat. The hardware is solid and reassuring, with custom aluminium knobs chosen for smooth resistance and precise control. Top mounted jacks make for an efficient, tidy setup on crowded pedalboards, while the compact footprint ensures it fits easily among other effects.

The LPD Pedals Eighty7’s design combines clarity and visual appeal, clean graphics, practical labelling and a distinct colour that stands out without being flashy. The LED indicator gives clear feedback on whether the effect is engaged, and the soft touch switch ensures quiet operation even in the most demanding live settings.

True bypass switching preserves your pure tone when the LPD Pedals Eighty7 is not active, keeping your signal clear and uncoloured. The top mounted input, output and DC power connections make setup quick and tidy, and the pedal runs on standard 9 V DC power at around 50 mA current draw, fully compatible with modern pedalboard supplies.

Designed with reliability in mind, the LPD Pedals Eighty7 includes internal protection against over voltage and other faults, ensuring long service life and confidence at every gig. LPD Pedals’ approach prioritises practical engineering and long term dependability, meaning you can focus on playing rather than troubleshooting.

In essence, the LPD Pedals Eighty7 brings the energy, drive and harmonic richness of the 1980s’ most iconic amplifier tones into a compact, reliable stompbox. It’s powerful yet responsive, aggressive yet musical, and built to sound inspiring at any volume. For guitarists and bassists chasing that unmistakable modded Marshall roar with the flexibility to dial in their own voice, the LPD Pedals Eighty7 is an exceptional addition to any rig.
