First<\/h4>\n

It is an ultra transparent, natural and musical sounding buffer, which can be turned on or off using the provided switch. The buffer solves the fundamental problem of loading loss caused by interconnected cables and some pedals. This “loss” siphons your guitar of fidelity, tone and volume level. This problem occurs even if all the pedals used are true bypass and the more pedals and longer the cable runs, the greater the losses.<\/p>\n

The Buffer Bay 6 circuitry, when engaged, sounds identical to your guitar straight into the amp! You can access the buffer using the buffers IN connector on one side of the Buffer Bay and Buffer Out on the other side.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”display: -webkit-box;|| display: -ms-flexbox;|| display: flex;|| -webkit-box-orient: horizontal;|| -webkit-box-direction: normal;|| -ms-flex-direction: row;|| flex-direction: row;|| -ms-flex-wrap: nowrap;|| flex-wrap: nowrap;” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_class=”borderedText” _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#c6c6c6″ header_4_text_color=”#bea668″ background_layout=”dark” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Second<\/h4>\n

The Buffer Bay is a patch bay with the following benefits:\u2022 Cleans up all of the connections on your pedal board.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Cleans up all of the connections on your pedal board.<\/li>\n
  • Allows for tighter pedal placement on the board (you no longer need to access the jacks on certain pedals).<\/li>\n
  • Lets you have all cables from your board in the same location allowing neater chord runs on stage.<\/li>\n
  • Your pedal chain in permanently connected making setup and takedown quick and painless.<\/li>\n
  • Saves the life of the jacks on your pedals by not plugging in cables ever y time you play.<\/li>\n
  • Easily configure your input or output in hard to reach places.<\/li>\n
