Pedals with buffers?
Posted: Mon Apr 05, 2010 6:32 pm
Ok I am pretty new to the true bypass pedals and bufferd pedals, and pedals in general (boss,ibanez,etc). I have a boss bd2 that I like the sound but it really sucks my tone/volume when its off. I see there are DIY bypass kits that I can make, wondering if I make this would it help with the tone sucking? I wont be using many pedals just maybe a compressor and a OD or 2 from baber I might add. Just wondering if I make the bypass and use the BD-2 on my board would this help with the tone sucking? and if all my pedals are all true bypass if I say I have 4 or 5 pedals would I still have the same problem? just trying to get a better understanding on what a bufferd pedal is, the website I found to make the true bypass, they recommend the use of a line driver (buffer) when using this.
