Where does buffer go in pedal chain?
A general guideline would be to insert the buffer between the guitar and first pedal, and no further forward in than the last overdrive pedal. If you use several true bypass pedals, there’s a good chance your ensuing signal will weaker as they don’t have any effect on incoming signal.
Does my pedalboard need a buffer?
Buffer pedals are often unnecessary when connecting a guitar straight into an amp and even when using a few pedals. However, having a good buffer pedal at a low-signal-level point in the signal chain can make or break the sound and tone of a guitar through a pedalboard.
Are JHS Pedals True Bypass?
It has a foot switch. When you click the foot switch, you turn the pedal on and it makes a distortion sound. When you turn it off, it bypasses the circuit completely as if you were just going through a short patch cable. For buffered bypass, when the circuit is on, it is distorted.
How many buffers do I need?
One or two buffers or buffered pedals is good in your signal path, but you don’t want too many as each one can change your tone a bit, and can rob a little of the presence and feel of your guitar, especially some pedals with poor sounding buffers.
Do I need a buffer?
A buffer is an active electronic circuit that keeps your guitar signal strong and preserves the frequencies of your guitar sound. If you have a good patch cord that’s not too long, and plug directly into your amp, that is the purest sound you can get, and you don’t need a buffer.
How many pedals until you need a buffer?
Depending on how many pedals you have, you may need more than one buffer, but this is generally only for rigs with 10+ pedals that are true-bypass. It all comes down to listening to your rig. Does your clean tone sound weak through your pedal board compared to going directly into your amp?

Do I need 2 buffers?
How does the JHS little black amp box work?

What kind of Ohm does a JHS AMP use?
That JHS device is just like running a 25K volume pedal in your effects loop. 25K ohm is good for active signals like an EMG loaded guitar or the effects loop of your amp. I use a 25K EB Jr volume pedal for this all the time.
Which is better JHS or EB Jr pedals?
The JHS device (or 25K volume pedal) is a good problem solver for guys that want to get there volume down really low for at home playing with amps that have a touchy master volume. The JHS unit is about $25 less expensive than a 25K EB Jr.
