Description
Features
- Equipped with Electro-Harmonix vacuum tube (12AU7 EH).
- Although it is equipped with a vacuum tube, it is compact in size.
- Main out/tuner out can be switched with a foot switch.
- Tube gain settings using the Tube Boost control.
- Acoustic capacitor | We use carefully selected parts such as metal film resistors.
- True bypass switching method.
- When turned on, the LED under the vacuum tube lights up.
What is a buffer?
The signal from the guitar is in a state of high impedance, or high resistance. This high resistance state is extremely susceptible to noise and deterioration of sound quality, with a particularly noticeable effect on the high frequency range.
Normally, on stage, we use cables of 5 m to 7 m, and place various effectors between the guitar and the amp. This is like installing various “obstacles” to “high impedance” signals that are susceptible to noise and attenuation.
A buffer effector converts that signal into a “low impedance” signal that is resistant to noise and high-frequency attenuation. By placing a buffer in the first stage of the effect board, it is possible to send the original brilliant tone of the guitar to the amplifier even through various effectors and long cables.
