The B-buff is available installed, or as a PCB with flying leads, beyond that we do not sell it as a kit. The product is meant to be installed at our shop, or for a decent tech to be able to handle. We do not offer kit style support at this price.

HI David,

Thanks very much for your reply. I'll check with my pedal tech to see what it'd cost to build it out
the way I want?

If this were available as a kit with instructions, any idea of the ballbark price?

Have a good one,

Again: The B-Buff will not be available as a kit, it dos not fit into my current work staff nor future path of Barber electronics. Our focus is complete mature products. Any trivially decent tech should be able to handle the install, it's just power, ground and signal.

Just put together my own stand-alone B-Buff in a Box, which hopefully will serve to stabilize the signal on my 'board before the other buffered-pedals that are hurting my tone. It's pretty much a straight-up copy of Ronni's pedal in a Hammond 1590A enclosure(so, thanks Ronni for the idea/inspiration ;) ) but with a sweet paint job--"Prismatic Black" from Pedal Parts Plus, you really have to see it in person to appreciate it. Anyway, here she is...

+1. Nice.

I wouldn't mind an official B Buff in a box like that one that could easily mount underneath my PT Pro. *hint*

I'm currently using a MI Audio Boost N Buff which is a great buffer, but I've stopped using it as a lead booster. I guess there's always the Lovepedal one, too bad it has that silly LED that would make mounting difficult.

I'm not allowed near soldering guns, I'm useless with them.

I did this one.. This is not a Launch Pad.. It's a Super Sport. And wiring a Small Fry would be done the same.
One side note: This was one of the very first B-buffs.
I have 2 white wires coming up to the footswitch. But now when you buy a B-Buff there is a white for output of B-buff and a Blue for input into the B-buff.
Helps keep track of things.. There is also a Black for ground and there is a Red that goes to the DC jack for your power.

Then a bunch of studio stuff.

OP edited for clarity -

Hey guys, that is very cool to have the B-Buff in a box. Is it possible to use it in an a/b box ?
I have a Launch Pad I use for the amp cook application, but I'd like to run parallel channels on an amp that only has tremolo/reverb on one channel.

I assume the LP won't cook 2 channels at once ?
