LPD PEDALS / Fifty Five

The LPD Fifty5 pays tribute to the great American tweed amplifiers of the 1950s, some of the most recorded in history.

The clear layout provides quick access to great tone. Level, drive, and tone controls, along with Voice and HDRM toggle switches, allow you to tailor your tone to suit various guitar and amp settings. Low, mid, and high output tones are all within reach. The Voice toggle works in conjunction with the Tone control to adjust low-mid and bass. The HDRM toggle switches between high and low headroom and, in conjunction with the Drive control, adjusts the power amp's drive intensity.

The Fifty5 is a guitar overdrive pedal designed and manufactured by LPD Pedals. Named after 1955, a turning point in guitar amplifier development, this pedal is specifically designed to emulate the sound and feel of 1950s tweed amps, known for their warm, dynamic, and harmonically rich overdrive tones.

The Fifty5 features three simple controls: Volume, Tone, and Gain. The Volume knob controls the overall output level of the pedal, while the Tone knob adjusts the overdrive tone. The Gain knob adjusts the amount of distortion and saturation added to your guitar signal.

Further tone adjustments are available via two toggle switches. The Voice toggle switch provides two different EQ curves that affect the pedal's overall tone. The first setting provides a mid-emphasized overdrive tone, while the second setting provides a balanced EQ curve with an emphasis on high frequencies. The HDRM (Headroom) switch controls the headroom of the entire circuit. The ""Low"" setting provides a more compressed, saturated overdrive sound, while the ""High"" setting provides a more dynamic, open overdrive sound.

This pedal utilizes high-quality components and true bypass, ensuring that your clean guitar signal is not colored when the pedal is turned off. The pedal runs on a standard 9V DC power supply.

The Fifty5 is designed to deliver a smooth, natural overdrive sound that responds to the player's touch and dynamics. It faithfully reproduces the warmth, touch sensitivity, and overtones of classic tweed amps, while offering players a more compact and versatile overdrive sound.

Overall, the Fifty5 is the perfect choice for guitar players looking for a high-quality overdrive pedal that emulates the sound and feel of classic tweed amps from the 1950s.

Four toggle switch settings allow you to explore a variety of tweed tones. Use the low-headroom, low-bass setting (lower voice) to increase the volume for a powerful drive like a Tweed Champ, increase the voice for a Tweed Deluxe vibe, or increase the headroom for a Tweed Bassman tone. The chassis is finished in 1955 Chevrolet Blue matte finish and includes custom LPD knobs.
