Buffer pedal

[Brow]

how about a roger mayer voodoo axe,great fuzz/distortion and looks after your buffering as well.

I had 1 of these on my my board and it worked very well as a buffer. Didn't like the tone of the fuzz though so I sold it.

Now have a MI Audio Boost N Buff which I got for about £40 - £50 (can't remember) and that works great for going through the 7 or so TB pedals and loop box I have on there :)

Would this do the same thing?

Is there a market for buffers? - I really don't find the need for them.  I'd do a small run of them if I thought there was a market.  How much would people pay?

Well I suppose there will be a few people like myself who have anded up with all true bypass and need something at the front of the chain but the bufferes I have seen are as expensive as a decent stomp effect with a decent buffer in so in that case you may as well buy the effect, even if you don't really need it.

But, at £40 or £50 and pitched right I think there would be a market, but whether it would be worth making them is a different matter.  Radial must sell some of there's and they are about £100 I think....

Anyway, my problem might be solved as I've borrowed a Trex Compnova I might buy for £65, I think they have good bufferes in from what I hear.

Has anybody tried the Compnova?

just to add to what's already been said, if you need/use a noisegate the buffer in the isp decimator is pretty good, and considering it's a noise gate it'd probably be last in the chain... EDIT: just to clarify what I mean, I mean that if you don't already have a noisegate and think that you might need one, the decimator could kill two birds with one stone if you think you need a buffer too.

I remember seeing on HCFX forum some guy who just makes little buffer boxes, which werent that expensive. I cant remember the brand though.

I'm planning to make one for my pedal board. I reckon there's about a tenner in parts there all up and most of that would be taken up by the jack plugs and case. either that or just add it to an existing pedal. I haven't made my mind up yet.

suppose you could offer a buffer pedal with extras such as dual outputs for feeding two amps - that'd be more useful.

I'm thinking of building a loop switcher with 2 loops buffered and one unbuffered for fuzz pedals etc.
