Hi there, Has anyone had any experience with a guitar buffer? I got one for Christmas, my issue was having to keep climbing over the Amplifier in gigs to unplug the guitar jack from an EF86 mod then back into the normal channel of the AC30. I needed an A& B junction but one were you don’t loose signal, so a Buffer was needed, I got the ROHS Belcat. 521 junction buffer. I haven’t got round to using it just yet but wondered if anyone else had experience with one or currently using one and hearing a difference. Cheers Pete

Hi Pete, I have designed buffers as well as used them. Your unit should work fine and you don't have to worry about cable quality and length from the 2 outputs. You shouldn't notice a difference in the sound compared with before. Regards, Charlie

And here was me hoping for recommendations on buffing wheels to polish out a guitar paint job!!!!

I must admit I had to read it carefully too!

Hi Charlie, Thanks, yes it was more a practical thing than anything else, it didn’t look very professional keep leaping over the Amplifier during a Gig and knew I needed a junction of sorts just to keep it tidy. A well known local guitarist told me that a simple junction would work but I would loose signal and a drop in tonal quality, unless I used a buffer. In all my years playing, I had never heard of one before but I do understand that it keeps the signal high as if it were plugged directly into the Amplifier. Sorry for the bad grammar in my text🤭 Thanks for your help Pete

Hi Pete, It is all down to the length and quality of guitar cables. A buffer ensures that the only cable that matters for quality is the one coming from the guitar. Regards, Charlie
