Frequently Asked Questions
No, it requires a volume or wah pedal with a 3.5mm stereo output, which are less common than standard expression pedals.
The buffer provides a clean, consistent signal, preventing high-end roll-off and signal loss, particularly useful with complex pedal chains.
While it provides a healthy boost, it's more suited for cleaner tones and moderate overdrive; heavier genres might need a more substantial gain stage.
