I just wanted to stress, once again, that UPS delivers a parcel to my doorstep within 72 hours (often less) -

I'm gonna claim stupidity on this, as I don't know the technical aspects.
My basic understanding of the buffer, is to provide a signal strength similar to that of your bass going straight to the amp, as adding pedals in your signal chain will cause a "tone-suck", similar to having multiple pots on a passive bass.



TB experts, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Pretty sure @johnk_10 would be able to sum it up better.

A buffered signal just means it is passing through a circuit. @mmbongo is correct when he states that any engaged pedal is buffering the signal.
A buffered signal can provide signal strength, but not all do. That's why not all buffered signals alike.

And FYI, the JHS Buffer is not suitable for bass. From their website:

THE LITTLE BLACK BUFFER IS DESIGNED TO WORK WITH INPUT SIGNALS THAT ARE BELOW 10V INPUT GAIN. ANYTHING ABOVE 10V INPUT GAIN WILL CAUSE THE UNIT TO CLIP. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE WITH BASS GUITARS.

Strange, I'm not sure if you have seen my post responding to yours, but I have received my package today via DHL.

Lucky you. DHL just came through, no parcel.

I ran a One Control Granth Buffered Boost between a Partical Accellerator X and Space Heater - that solved the tube squealing for me.

Does it eliminate the squealing if the boost pedal is off, or did it need to be turned on?

 

[4Mal]

@CH Design I left it as always on with little to no Boost.

@4Mal Thanks. One Control also makes a simple buffer in that format. I could tuck it under the board and not have to worry about switching it on or accidentally adjusting any controls. If nothing else pops up for solutions, I may give it a whirl.

You could get an actual simple buffer in an even small format for 1/3 of the price Truetone has one.

Thanks.
I’ve seen that one, and it’s available to me locally, but I don’t know that it is going to do what I need.

Waiting is certainly a pain.

Would you be willing to pay the higher shipping cost for UPS or DHL over USPS plus the additional time the @Sushi Box FX might need to process those packages? Just asking for next time.

I can't decide which post to quote, but for buffering I highly recommend the Broughton BBA. Yes, I know it's a Broughton, but it's always in stock. It adds a high and low pass filter and a controllable boost to the buffer. It's been a subtle but irreplaceable part of my board.

 

[DrHooper]

Yes, I know it's a Broughton,

When I bought my Ictineo pedal from a fellow TBer, I was offered something along the lines of UPS for $40 and USPS for $16, I went UPS.
The Noble was delivered by UPS, as was my Heather Brown The Blessed Mother.
All within 72 hours and completely without hassle.
Pay twenty-five bucks more for hassle free shipping that has reliable tracking and arrives a fortnight faster? That's a no brainer for me.

This is a pre-clearcoat pic so the raw and whites will be glossier and sparklier, but I wanted to get a family photo as I think this is the first time every single finish option has been ordered for one pedal in one month.

The full artwork on white looks gorgeous!

Agreed, I like the look on raw, but the colors and the details really pop on the white.
