I can see that. I just finished a build of a jfet preamp, that's super low noise and clean. It could easily be a buffer if you removed the pot, but then you might od some in your distortion pedals, etc. I think I might build another version, super compact, with a trim pot so I can set the gain...

Thanks for the support, hip cat. I dig your style. I'll get some pics and specs on the heavily modified D+ up sometime soon. I'm in the middle of some tweaking...more like an overhaul...somewhere in between.

Ok, that's an argument against for sure. I'm almost done building a signal buffer and if it doesn't produce good results, I will have to reconsider my set up. If someone feels like the buffer in Boss pedals is superior to anything else they've tried, that would be valuable information. For...

The amp came with the built in feature of a mute channel controllable with a footswitch. I already had the tuner, and I even had the switch (left over from another project). As I've said before, I mute when I tune, but I also mute when I play synth for a part or whatever. The footswitch to mute...

Sorry everybody, I've been moving out of my apartment all weekend (aren't you jealous) so I've fallen behind, and fallen behind a lot apparently. So many good points, in fact, I would be writing for a while to even come close to addressing them all. I'm going to try and touch on most and we'll...

No doubt, it should, and in a perfect world, it would. The crux of that issue being, massive signal loss is "perfection," and then we try to adjust for it, often with great success. But ultimately we are adding devices between the instrument and the thing designed to amplify it's sound. Unless...

I heard good things about both those tuners, and wanted to try them out whenever the one I have went down, but you know boss pedals. They might not be the most creative or interesting, but I'll be damned if they're not immortal. It should be dead already considering. Bare in mind though, it's...

Hi everybody, just signed up, but visited many times for great advice. I have twice modified my Boss TU-2 (of all pedals to modify) to suit the needs of my bass. First was to power the built in preamp circuit through a TRS cable. Since I have a new (used) amp with tuner-out, and a mute channel...
