Sixty8

The Sixty8 by LPD Pedals is a versatile overdrive pedal designed to replicate the sound and feel of a classic 1968 Plexi amplifier. It offers natural note decay, dynamic response to guitar volume control and pick dynamics, and a wide range of clean to heavily overdriven tones. The pedal is highly versatile with super-low noise and killer sustain, without needing a ton of distortion or fuzz to achieve its sound.
