Frequently Asked Questions
The V2 has a slightly refined circuit with improved buffering and a more consistent response across different guitars and amps, but the core sound remains very similar.
While it can add a little extra push, the Tumnus is primarily designed for lower gain applications and isn’t ideal for high-gain metal tones. It's best suited for rock and blues.
The Wampler buffer is exceptionally clean and well-designed, so you shouldn’t experience any noticeable noise increase. It actually helps preserve your signal and compensate for cable loss.
