The B-Custom B-Buff is an incredibly flexible and useful audio device, that can boost and buffer your signal at the same time. The B-Buff install in most true bypass pedals, often space for the B-Buff can be found on the battery compartment or if the pedal has "extra space". The B-Buff is often used to add a buffer to a pedalboard without taking up any additional space (installs in pedal), or to build a dedicated "amp cooker" to better gain stage your guitar rig.

There are five places in your pedal's signal chain that you can install the B-Buff:

The term "drives" can refer to buffer or boost here.

1. After the input jack (between jack & footswitch), this places the B-Buff before your pedal circuit and in the bypass too.
2. Between footswitch and pedal circuit, the B-Buff drives only the pedal circuit. This is great for adding my gain to OD pedals.
3. In the bypass, here the B-Buff is only in the circuit during pedal bypass. This is the most common install to add a buffered or boosted bypass.
4. Between the circuit output and footswitch, this drives strictly the output of the pedal circuit. The is useful for to give greater output to a weak pedal circuit, or add a buffer to a circuit's output.
5. Between the footswitch and output jack, this drives the output of the pedal circuit and is active during bypass too.

The B-Buff is also the lowest priced B-Custom product.

6. put the B-Buff into a dedicated enclosure

I'd post pics, but this forum and the internet is full of pictures of my B-Buff in-a-box

note to self...reading comprehension is good

Still one of my Fav's in the B-Buff inside the Launch Pad.

Buffed signal when LP is off and a nice boost for Soloing when LP is on.

I second that, I LOVE my Launch Pad with the B Buff installed!!

I got so used to amp cooking that I was using my LP only for that, and really missing it as a clean boost. Now I have both solo boost and amp cooker in the same pedal....thanks to Ronni for installing a custom volume for the B Buff on the outside of the Launch Pad in the second (neg) volume spot. Complete versatility and functionality!

The B Buff and the Launch Pad are a killer combo together, especially for me, since I use the LP at the end of my signal chain.

My main rig (10U rack at 100lbs+) has a GCX and a LTD SR.

The GCX has a buffered input that I find helps articulate notes, diminishes any issues with longer cable runs and makes my guitar sound VERY consistent at all times. As it was explained it buffers the input ensuring the guitar>FX sees a constant load and converts to low impedance.

Does the B-Buff do this? Much of what is written makes it look like a booster and many folks call different things "buffers"
