The Most Important Pedal Nobody Talks About

Музыка

The Vertex Buffer Interface is your ideal solution for drastically reducing capacitance across your board, preventing high-end loss and keeping your carefully crafted tone in the spotlight, no matter your pedal configuration. This versatile unit incorporates proper buffering with the most common pedalboard setups including: mono, stereo, 4-cable method (amp with FX loop), 5-cable method (stereo amps with FX loops), wet/dry, and wet/dry/wet signals. Handcrafted by our devoted technicians in Los Angeles, California - the Buffer Interface includes four total buffers. Rest assured: with this interface in tow, it will be easier than ever to outfit your pedalboard with a high-quality buffer that will keep your tone at the forefront.

    @@surfthejapstrat7010 my understanding is that it's similar to the buffer in a Klon. That's a great overdrive, but not so good of a buffer if you're comparing it to the criteria you want for a quality buffer (tone-wise). I'm sure it's well built, as all JHS stuff is - but it will have a particular sound that's different than the guitar and amp alone with a 10ft. cable as as baseline (and you might want that). It's not really a comparable product. You'd have to get four of them plus an isolation box of some kind to get the same performance as our interface or module buffers do.

    The reason is that 100ft. would never be a baseline someone would calculate. The sound you want to calibrate to is the guitar into the amp with a short cable (hence the 10ft. cable reference). The 100ft. cable is showing a worst case scenario and how closely it resembles the 10ft. cable alone without the buffer. Any buffer will make a 100ft. of cable sound better typically to some degree, but not every buffer can make a 10ft. cable with no buffer sound like a 100ft. cable with a buffer driving it.

    I might have to pick one of these up. The only thing I wish that it had was a second FX Loop so I can run a fuzz pedal like your diagram, but also utilize a 4 Cable Method or an audition loop. Not a biggie though as I can just plug strait into my fuzz and then into the guitar in, but it won't look as clean as all the cables going strait in and out of the interface. Maybe a future version will have the option or like a little add on box with the extra loop. Anyway, it seems like a great product!

    Hi Mason. Very clever work. Well done. How does this compare to an Empress Effects buffer plus? One of the features of the Empress that I really like is the tuner out which can mute the signal for quick silent tuning on stage. With your buffer not having this mute capability which mute pedal can you recommend? And would you patch it at the amp out or after the guitar input using one end of y-cable to feed the tuner and the other end going to a mute switch followed by the rest of the pedalboard? Thanks and keep up your valuable and informative work.

The reviewers were making excuses for it and trying to say thats as good as it gets. Another brand I tried added treble and it sounded brittle.

Are these available in the U.K.?? And also my suggestion would be that I use 4 cable method with my time based effects in the FX Loop of the amp, however sometimes I don't use them in the FX Loop and want them front of the amp so is there an automatic connection within the interface so that when the loop outs aren't in use it auto routes to the output. Templeboard do this with their 4x MOD Pro Module. Thanks

    So in a 4cm with a Switcher , in line volume pedal , the Emprerss Buffer and a Sentry noise gate( A lot of maintence pedals here) So Guitar into the Buffer or Noise gate first? Buffer makes sense but you lose the input push right? So then maybe the Noise gate IN first from Guitar, then hit the Buffer then the Switcher to start your front of amp effects. Then the Send out of the Switcher to the Front of your amp, no maintence pedals in this signal. The Send out of your effects loop into the Volume pedal for overall master volume, Then the Noise gate then into the Switcher Volume return. From there the Modulation delay reverb type effects loops are after the volume input loop and then the output of the Switcher to the Buffer and then out to the Return of your amps effects loop . Do I have the right or would you do it differently? I'm using a Boss ES-8 as the switcher and it's awesome.

  • @VertexEffectsInc

    @VertexEffectsInc

    The reason is that 100ft. would never be a baseline someone would calculate. The sound you want to calibrate to is the guitar into the amp with a short cable (hence the 10ft. cable reference). The 100ft. cable is showing a worst case scenario and how closely it resembles the 10ft. cable alone without the buffer. Any buffer will make a 100ft. of cable sound better typically to some degree, but not every buffer can make a 10ft. cable with no buffer sound like a 100ft. cable with a buffer driving it.

    I would have thought the reason you would need a buffer on the board is because of a long cable run, and/or load of pedals? To bring back the signal lost through the impedance of said cable/pedals. Hence why people would say 'it made me sound brighter or brittle. Well it would if it brought back the high frequencies lost through long cables. I think there's more misunderstanding what buffers are and what they do, rather than them all just been 'bad' buffers. Though, obviously, some may be worse than others, but not because of that reason.

    I have an "eqd swiss things" and an "empress buffer+ stereo", using them in WDW. Would this buffer and routing solution replace both those pedals? I'm using the swiss things to output to my dry fx then to the dry amp, then line out to wet fx, using the empress buffer+ stereo to provide the buffers there. The advantage I see of the buffer+ stereo is the ability to sum to mono. But I know you don't like doing that, and I shouldn't either, but it's nice to have that option.

    So my set up currently, I’m running through the UA Dream, into my time based effects and then into the walrus canvas di/line isolator box, which then runs into my Apollo interface, or front of house if I’m gigging. Ive really been in the market for a buffer pedal like yours. The good wood audios interfacer, the a3 custom tone solution being two that seem to be of similar makeup. I’m curious whether your pedal can both replace my walrus canvas, and give me an input/output buffer? And if it doesn’t really offer what the canvas does, would you run your buffer before or after the di box? Thanks, Adam
