Yesterday, my band played for an outdoor corporate event, where I used my Barber LTD for the first time at a live gig. I played a Heritage 535 through a Demeter Compulator to the LTD to a Boss RV-3 to a Laney amp. The LTD is spectacular! I used it as a volume boost for solos with just enough drive to put some hair on my tone. Pure tube OD tone without a hint of "processing"! This pedal is now a permanent occupant on my board, replacing a Boss Blues Driver. I've never been this excited about a pedal during the 35 years I've been playing guitar. And, it was only $100.00!
