The first guitar pedal to capture transistor radio and megaphone lo-fi sounds!

Best used at the end of a signal chain in combination with other pedals, the Ibanez LF7 from the Tone-Lok series creates wide and wild soundscapes of far-out tones that used to require a rack of vintage analog gear. It also performs well with vocals, drum machines, or in any mix-down context.

On the outside, Tone-Lok effects are equipped with the Ibanez exclusive set and forget Push-Lok rotary pots. Push the knobs down and your tone settings lock securely inside the case—no more lost settings or broken knobs.

On the inside, Tone-Lok pedals feature hi-fidelity components carefully tweaked with the constant input from a new generation of Ibanez players. And all this great stuff comes encased in cool looking, road-tough metal boxes at prices the working player can afford.

Ibanez Tone-Lok LF7 Lo-Fi Filter Pedal Features:

• Creates lo-fi tones that used to require ancient analog gear
• For guitar, but works well with vocals, drum machines, or any mix-down context

Get that cheesy '50s tone today. Put it in the cart.

this little devil is so cool. having owned and trashed a million pedals, this is the only "lo-fi" pedal i've ever come across. its basically the opposite of a boost pedal. great for little breaks in a song where its just u and ur guitar, without the rest of the band. it gives u that "down the hall" distance by cutting out all the low end. just as a boost pedal is great for soloing, this is equally good for foreshadowing. and at this price ... i would happily pay much more for it

Low Fidelity - High Value

A while back, I became curious to what sort of effect was used vocally for songs like Gorillaz' "O' Green World" and Tool's "Eulogy". And then I bought the Ibanez LF7.

This pedal is amazing. I'll admit, it's not a pedal for everyone, but for those who know what sound they want, this metal box is a tone king. Vocally, with a small touch of reverb and close dialing, you can get everything from megaphone to telephone, and for guitar, it's possibilities are limitless. On clean settings, you can get an AM radio sound, which is great for intros, but it's on a distorted setting that this pedal shines. I've been able to turn my solid state amp's tone from warm tube jazz to vintage 80's shred with only a press of a button.

As I've said, this isn't for everyone, but for anyone who stresses over tone, it's must-have. Try it for yourself and be the judge.

Nice, but mine has worn out

I've had this for several years. Very tweakable sound, from a little lo-fi subtlty, to all out megaphone, or singing through a harmonica mic-style breakup. I love the way it sounds. Mine, however has a shoddy stomp mechanism. It was fine for over a year, but now I have to stomp with all my might to turn it on or off, and it's an iffy thing even then. I like it enough that I am seriously considering buying another (this time with an extended warrenty) to replace the first. Take that for what it's worth.

This is a cool pedal. Turn the lo and hi cut all the way down and it sounds like telephone quality. The point of this pedal is to give a low fidelity sound which is good for giving a song a better sense of dynamic range and texture too. I would say beginners wouldn't need this pedal, but definitely worth the money anyway...I like it...listen to the clips!

When i bought this pedal and plugged it in with my guitar i noticed the amp sounded better with no feedback, and it made my stratocaster sound like a telecaster with the drive up full. Works awesome with my Boss DS-1 distortion pedal.
