Empress Effects Pedal Board Buffer Plus with Boost Pedal Overview
The Empress Buffer Plus is the complete I/O interface for your pedalboard and maintains the highest accuracy to your guitar's signal. The number one goal of the Buffer+ is to ensure that signal loss due to long, un-buffered cables is eliminated and your tone remains untouched. It also features tools like noise filters, input pads, a switchable clean boost and input loading to ensure your performance remains its best.
- All Analog Signal Path - no digitals in here!
- Small Size - The enclosure measures approximately 4.5" by 2.5" by 1.5", which is delightfully small when considering all the features packed into this unit.
- Tuner Out - Separate tuner output keeps your tuner out of the audio path.
- Complete I/O - All the connections to your pedalboard consolidated in one place. Makes setup and teardown quick and easy.
- Switchable Boost - Dial in up to 30dB of clean boost and switch on and off with the soft touch foot switch.
- Tuner Mute - Hold the footswitch for a second and mute the amp output for tuning.
- Noise Filters - Similar to Dolby's noise filter technology, choose between 2 different noise filters to remove any unwanted noise from your effects chain.
- Input Pad - 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.
- Input Loading - Load down your pickups a little, a lot or not at all. It's up to you.
