Barber discontinued pedals
From Barber's website:


We have recently stopped production of the LTD and the LTD SR, we are also building the very last of the Super Sport. This is a heads up for anybody you uses those pedals and wants to get another while they are still on some dealers shelves. I may have one or two left of LTD SR MOD PCB, dealers can email for "last call" pedals. There is no immediate replacement for these pedals but we are going to rework our line over the next year...This does not mean you should expect micro-sized pedals this year.

The ltd and ltd sr are probably the most popular drive pedals ever...this sucks...they must not be selling anymore...

I wont rush out and buy 10 extras though...if my ltd ever craps out, I will just replace it with a timmy

Website also says the Burn Unit and 1/2 Gainer are "currently out of production".

Let the Klon production speculation continue...


Seriously though, this is interesting. Sounds like he has some new ideas up his sleeve, so that is exciting.

(I hope the 1/2 Gainer is only a temporary production hault....thats my favorite Barber pedal).

I sold my LTD a few months back as it was a bit redundent in my setup. Kinda wish I hadn't! One of my favorite mild OD's. ..luckily I have a Dual Unlimited on the way!

Barber's drives are just SO good.

Had an LTD for years. Liked it a lot. Tried and bought an LTD SR, liked it even better, my number 1 pedal by far. Also have an Unlimited.
Been having a Tone Press for ten years or so.
Wanted to get a Small Fry next.
I'm sure Barber won't entirely stop the production of their most popular pedals, they're probaly reworking the enclosures or something. They've been around for long enough so everyone can be sure they'll be back with equally good equipment. I'll just wait and see. And if they're coming all back in smaller enclosures, even better.

Mr. Barber has never really eluded to such silly talk...and he gets my total respect for that. Geez he'd make a killing.

They asked on Facebook a while ago about what we wanted to see in smaller enclosures so there's a good chance they will prototype some small pedalboard friendly stuff.

I'm sad about this but it's a small shop, this lets them build the way they want too without having wait lists. I'm sure they will be back eventually.

Wow, glad I picked up the LTD SR recently. It's one of my favorite OD pedals next to the Klon.
