LPD Seventy4 Deluxe

No one makes gain pedals like LPD Pedals. The Seventy4 Deluxe is the definitive proof of that. Welcome back to Edge of Breakup.

In this episode the LPD Pedals Seventy4 Deluxe takes center stage — featuring a new Frank Brothers Arcade build in all-Korina with Seymour Duncan Antiquity Humbuckers and a stunning aged nitro finish, into the Benson Amps Vincent and 2x12" cabinet. The board also includes the R2R Electric Vintage Wah and Pre-Amp, Greer Amps Lightspeed, Effectrode Tube Vibe, and Strymon Volante.

LPD Pedals is Lawrence Petross Design out of Arizona — one of the very few boutique builders who have made the Marshall-in-a-box category genuinely interesting. The Seventy4 name comes from 1974, the year that produced two defining Marshall platforms: the late metal-face Plexi and the newly introduced JMP, the first master volume Marshall. Both are in the Seventy4's tonal DNA.

The Deluxe is the two-channel evolution of the original single-channel Seventy4. Two footswitches: bypass, and channel switch. The channels cannot be stacked — LPD designed the pedal for deliberate, intentional switching between two dialed-in voices rather than cumulative gain stacking. Set them up and switch musically.

Red channel: the original Seventy4 circuit — immediacy, intensity, and the golden-era British full-stack character. Mid-boost voice in the toggle. Green channel: a new, complementary circuit designed specifically to work alongside the Red. It adds low-mid girth to the sonic profile — darker overall, edge-of-breakup territory, the rhythm side. More gain and high-mid presence via the Green voice toggle.

Both channels share a global four-band EQ: Bass, Mids, Treble, and Presence. This is the feature that separates the Seventy4 Deluxe from most amp-in-a-box pedals — with active EQ across the full frequency range, you can dial in the pedal to suit literally any amp or guitar combination. Each channel also has its own independent Gain and Level.

The Frank Brothers Arcade in this demo is an all-Korina build — both body and neck — with a wicked aged nitro finish with checking across the body, neck, and headstock. Seymour Duncan Antiquity Humbuckers installed. Korina is the wood Gibson used in the late '50s Flying V and Explorer — tonally similar to mahogany but lighter, with a slightly more open, airy midrange.
