The Love Bomb recently received a great review in Music Connection in the USA.
Steve Satler was blown away as you can see in the review below calling it “the best sounding distortion overdrive pedal I’ve ever heard in my 50 plus years as a guitar player.”
Agreed.
The Love Bomb was heavily featured in this episode of That Pedal Show.
Watch Mick and Dan plug it into the front of a Marshall and go on a sonic adventure.
Blown away.
Love Bomb was the final pedal featured in this episode exploring Valve Overdrives. Watch the whole thing below or skip to 45 minutes to see them lose their minds in Love Bomb land.
We’re excited to announce that the Love Bomb Pedal is now available in Australia via our new dealer Deluxe Guitars in Melbourne.
They’re holding units in store ready to purchase and play!
We were invited down to Andertons music to showcase the Love Bomb live and chat about all things music.
Check out the video below to hear it in action and see Gareth take Lee through all of the various features and the range of tones available in the Love Bomb.
We will be unveiling our first working prototype along with audio samples at this years NAMM 2019 Show in LA this January.
Be sure to come by for a chat at the Analoguetube Booth 10931.
The 6948 is an ultra low microphonics and low noise sub-miniature tube originally developed for high altitude missile guidance systems during the Cold War.
These indestructible beauties were some of the most stringently tested tubes ever built by Philips/ECG. Designed for operation at altitudes of 80,000 feet where high mechanical shock, vibration and high temperature are the norm, the 6948 is considered to have extraordinary freedom from intermittent short circuits from within the tube and little intermittent leakage.
Testing of the tubes included fatigue frequency response measurements between 30hz and 3khz and back to 30hz over 3 minutes whilst under an acceleration pulling 10g's! As well as, white noise tests consisting of subjecting the tube to a white noise vibration spectrum test between 100hz to 5khz at level when traveling up to 15g's. Other tests included impact acceleration tests up to 450g's and high radiation dosage tests.
And now in 2019, these little pencil tubes have been re-purposed for some 21st century musical love and hard wired forever in our new pedal LOVE BOMB.
Over the last few months, we’ve been busy perfecting the signature sound of the Love Bomb pedal and are finally nearing the finish line.
We’re pleased to report that we’ve reached the summit of the tone mountain and are now able to show our prototype to a wider audience outside of our initial test group.
The pedal sounds incredible on both guitar and bass and covers an astonishing range of tones from clean boost all the way to self oscillating tube driven fuzz.
We can’t wait to show you more over the coming weeks.
One of the features of the LOVE BOMB is the 6 position LPF control. This allows players to fine tune the high frequency response of the output signal. This can help tame harsh frequencies in single coil guitars. It is also a superbly useful function to have when dealing with super high gain tones, allowing players to ditch the hiss and white at the very top end of the spectrum, whilst leaving the main guitar signal unaffected.
The beauty of this LPF is that it leaves the precious low end unaffected, so your guitar, bass (or synth) will be full bodied and rich. Also being a 6 position switch makes these settings instantly recallable with minimum fuss.
