3PDT Buffered Bypass Footswitch Board

This is the Brand New Buffer that solders directly to a 3PDT Wiring board and can be added to any circuit with ease.

This is for the Buffer Board only. 3PDT Foot Switch is not included.

Footswitch is available at Mammoth Electronics.


This will allow you to benefit from all the advantages of the Silent Tuning Buffer Board without the Tuner Output and in a small footprint that attaches directly to your 3PDT Footswitch leaving plenty of room for any circuit above it!


 

Because you connected a fairly long cable (15ft. or more), you loose even more of the actual signal and it doesn't’t appear across the input of the pedal. You are now losing a good amount of the signal from those expensive pickups you bought. . . The story gets better for low frequencies, but worse for higher frequencies. This configuration is called a low pass filter, because low frequency signals pass through but higher frequencies do not. You really don’t want this if you want to preserve the fidelity of your original guitar pickup signal.

Question time, where is it better to put a guitar buffer, before or after a long cable? The answer is before. The reason is that if you have a low impedance of the capacitance of the cable then it is in parallel with the input impedance of whatever is after it (remember from before). So, even if you have that high impedance guitar buffer, effectively the impedance is low and you will lose your signal. But, if you have the guitar buffer pedal before the cable, then the low output impedance of the buffer will be able to drive the cable and the input resistance of the next pedal or amp in the line.

 

In Guitar PCB fashion it is also moddable to suit your own tone even further.


As shown in the Picture this will even fit into a 1290 size pedal enclosure.


As with any GuitarPCB Board you will need to purchase Components separately.
