Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Long cables and chains with multiple true-bypass pedals can benefit from this buffer/preamp pedal. Its 1MΩ input impedance and 100Ω output impedance are designed to keep the signal clear and dynamic over extended runs. Alongside restoring high-end clarity, it adds a subtle low-end boost for more depth. EarthQuaker Devices designs it for the end of the signal chain, while allowing other positions; place it after fuzz pedals when preserving their interaction with the guitar signal matters.

Who this is for
