The Rodenberg LPD Deluxe is an overdrive pedal from Rodenberg that packs three functions into one enclosure: a low gain overdrive, a high gain overdrive and a clean boost. RockBoard's PedalPedia describes its range as running "From slightly distorted bass with tube sound character to completely distorted - no problem for the LDP (OD/CB)"1. The circuit is a hybrid design, and the pedal is 100% handcrafted in Germany1.
The controls
The LPD Deluxe is built as three pedals in one box. Each overdrive section carries three knobs, while the clean boost section carries two, which the maker sums up as "we only need 3 for each overdrive pedal and 2 for the clean boost pedal"1. The clean boost's output level is set with a toggle switch and reaches up to +20 dB1.
That layout means you can shape a mild breakup tone and a heavier drive voice independently, then use the boost to lift either one, or run the boost on its own into your amp. A similar idea of an independent boost appears on the LPD Pedals Sixty8 Deluxe, where the maker's Paolo De Gregorio described "a 24dB full range boost that functions independently allowing for use with the Sixty8 or on its own"2.
Power and board fit
The pedal runs on 9V DC, center negative, and draws 100mA1. That current draw is high enough that a battery is not the practical option, and it is worth checking what your daisy chain supply can spare before adding it to a board.
At 5.7 inches wide, the LPD Deluxe takes up more board space than a single compact overdrive, since it houses three circuits. Plan your layout accordingly1.
Rodenberg's wider range includes the SL-OD DELUXE, the TB DRIVE and the LUKE Overdrive MK II, as well as bass-oriented versions of the LPD Deluxe such as the LDP DELUXE Victor Wooten and the LDP DELUXE Marcus Miller.
Questions
How much boost does the Rodenberg LPD Deluxe clean boost give?
The clean boost section offers up to +20 dB of output level, set with a toggle switch. It sits alongside the pedal's low gain and high gain overdrive sections, so the LPD Deluxe can push an amp or another pedal harder while the overdrive circuits handle the distortion on their own.
Where is the Rodenberg LPD Deluxe made?
Rodenberg builds the LPD Deluxe 100% handcrafted in Germany, according to the maker's product page. The pedal carries a 3 year warranty.
How wide is the Rodenberg LPD Deluxe?
The LPD Deluxe is 5.7 inches wide. That is the figure the maker gives for the pedal's footprint, which matters when fitting it onto a crowded pedalboard.
