Overview

An all-analog buffer designed to save you from signal loss and preserve your tone.

The Empress Buffer+ effects pedal was designed to be the complete I/O interface for the pedalboard, while maintaining the highest fidelity to your guitar's signal. Signal loss due to long, unbuffered cable runs is an issue that has plagued guitar players for decades. The primary goal of the Buffer+ is to eliminate this signal loss, ensuring that your tone is unchanged by your cables. Additionally, all the connectivity of your pedalboard is consolidated to make set up quick and easy. The Buffer+ also has a very handy set of features that make life just a little better. Noise filters, input pads, switchable clean boost and input loading are all powerful tools available on the Buffer+.

Features

  • Al-analog signal path
  • Enclosure measures approximately 4.5" by 2.5" by 1.5"
  • Separate tuner output keeps your tuner out of the audio path
  • All the connections to your pedal board are consolidated in one place for quick and easy setup and teardown
  • Dial in up to 30dB of clean boost and switch on and off with the soft-touch footswitch
  • Hold the footswitch for a second and mute the amp output for tuning
  • Similar to Dolby's noise filter technology, choose between two different noise filters to remove any unwanted noise from your effects chain
  • Pad or boost the input by 3dB, great for matching outputs of different guitars, reducing really hot active pickup signal or boosting the signal to your effects to improve signal to noise ratio
  • Load down your pickups a little, a lot or not at all
