67Audio Libido

67audio · pedal

The 67Audio Libido is a transparent clean boost pedal with an internal voltage converter and regulator providing two controls: Gain and a two-band EQ with Bass and Treble at up to 12dB boost and cut each. True bypass. The internal voltage boost provides greater headroom than standard 9V boosts preventing compression artifacts and allowing the amplifier to feel more responsive particularly at lower volumes. Suited to any genre or context where a clean transparent signal lift or tone-shaping boost is needed without adding tonal character.
