LBD2 has the same tone design as the previous LBD. In low gain, it's crunchy and full of mid-range. In high gain, it's crisper and more focused. To get the best sound, use a tone control to cut high frequencies, a volume control, and the mid switch (for mid-range strength) at the top of the pedal. The mid switch controls the mid-range. It's a tone setting that pushes the midrange in three stages from the foot switch to the DC jack. Check the slide switch on the board when you remove the back panel. This slide switch sets the effect drive voltage to 9V or 16V. The LBD2 can be used with a 9V battery and an external power supply, but it also has a built-in 16V converter. A 16V drive gives more headroom and a wider dynamic range. It also reduces compression. Use an external power supply with 16V as the current consumption of the power supply increases.
