Barge Concpets GLZ-1 in 9.5/10 condition. I've mostly used it as a boost pedal or an impedance adjuster for using active basses with effects. I'm asking $65 shipped in the conus. NO TRADES PLEASE. Here's what's on Barge's website:
The GLZ is Barge Concepts’ all-in-one signal buffering/ clean boosting/ impedance matching solution, built in to a rugged, compact enclosure.
Inspired by the buffer and boost stages of the VFB-2 and DB-3, as well as client requests, the GLZ is a low noise, true bypass, opamp-based signal buffer, with 0-15 dB clean boost (Gain control), buffered volume control (Level control), and variable impedance control (Z control).
Application Suggestions:
As a Clean Boost: Based on the boost stages of the Barge Concepts DB-3, the GLZ can provide 0 - 15 dB of clean gain. Use it to drive your pedals and amp into distortion, to boost the output of low output vintage wound pickups. or to match output levels when switching between humbucking and single coil instruments.
As a Volume control: Based on the topology of the Barge Concepts DB-3, the GLZ and BV volume circuit is designed to provide variable level control without altering the impedance or frequency response of your output signal. Use the GLZ or BV as a foot-switchable volume control to lower the ouput of your pickups, or use it as a fully buffered master volume control in the effects loop of your favorite amp.
As a Signal Buffer: The GZL-1 and BV-1 use very low noise, audio grade Burr-Brown non-inverting buffers to insure transparent sound across the entire audible spectrum. With all signals buffered, you have a lower impedance signal driving the devices after the GLZor BV, as well as high impedance inputs to insure that a clear signal passes to the output.
As a passive signal emulator: The GLZ’s variable impedance control alters the resistive output of the buffering stage, to make the output signal appear more like a passive signal. This is particularly useful for bassists and guitarists with active pickups that want to send a 'passive-looking' signal to vintage effects that may not respond well to buffers
