Frequently Asked Questions
Buffered bypass maintains your signal strength, preventing signal loss, especially useful with long cable runs or passive pickups.
You can use any standard 9V DC power supply, but ensure it's coaxial with the negative center pin – EHX’s own adapter is reliable and readily available.
