Any suggestions for buffers? I have a few old boss pedals I am trying now. Some have said the MXR micro amp will work well. I would like to use a active DI but most of them rely on batteries and phantom power so that would be adding more components than I would like.

Thanks for the advice. I am going to try running it unbalanced into balanced to get that 6db back. It also gets me within (just barely) Alembic's specs. I will also try running a buffered fx pedal in line. According to some folks online a >200k ohm input impedance would be ideal. I am nowhere...

I just got my hands on an used F2B preamp. I have read that they are picky about the input impedance of the power amp. Alembic says that anything <10k ohms is not good. I am currently running mine with a Pevey IPR 1600 (only power amp I have at the moment) that has an input impedance of 7.5k...

I have had one for about three months and it has worked just fine. I am using an Aguilar Tone Hammer to drive it and it sounds great. I tried a SansAmp at first and it did not work out so well. The input is looking for a hotter signal than a 9v preamp can provide. The Aguilar (18v) is working...
