From the vendor
Pretty much the king of all things avoid-signal-loss-ness, the buffer stage of a very famous boutique overdrive pedal is hard to beat. Why do I need a buffer? Ask Pete Cornish. But I'll give you a clue. Lots of pedals and lots of cable = lots of gumph for your signal to get through between your guitar and amp. Inevitably you're going to lose something as it strains its way through the wire, and what goes first is your sweet top-end. You've just paid £2k for that strat - splash out another few quid and see what it should really sound like. Put one of these first in line in your pedal chain, and if you really want to keep things sweet stick another at the end. Your highs will sparkle like never before. The kit doesn't come with any switches as this is meant to be a plug-in-and-forget, always-on circuit. Feel free to add one if you want. DC power only too, but again you can add battery snap if that floats your boat. But honestly, once you've tried it you'll never want to switch it off. This is the most useful square inch ever. Kit is available a mini 1590A (36 x 90mm) enclosure with DC power only in either vertical or horizontal format.If you want an 'on' indicator LED you'll have to wire it, along with the current limiter, off-board directly to the DC socket. No big hassle. Be aware that you'll be wiring in a very confined space. Kit includes: PCB, all components, hook-up wire, jack sockets, DC socket, LED. Enclosure (pre-drilled) is optional. No knobs required. Inspired by: Klon Centaur buffer Difficulty: Easy PCB size: 25 x 22mm Enclosure: 1590A Download INSTRUCTION PDF
