The ultra quiet Boost 'n' Buff v.2 Guitar Effects Pedal, from MI Effects, offers up to a 35dB boost and has a Class A, (single transistor) design. In the lower gain range, the Boost 'n' Buff stompbox is a flat booster (15db). In bypass mode, it's an ultra high input impedance buffer (5Meg!). The Boost 'n' Buff guitar pedal is simple to operate with Volume and Gain Controls and a Heavy Duty 3PDT On/Off footswitch. Operates off 18V (2 x 9V batteries) internal power or an external power supply (sold separately). Bypass Mode/Buffer: In bypass mode, the MI Audio Boost 'n' Buff acts as an ultra high input impedance/low noise buffer. The input impedance is approximately 5 Meg. With such a high input impedance, your guitar pickups don't need to deliver a lot of current in order to reproduce their full natural bandwidth. You can drive cable lengths as long as you like without sacrificing tone, and due to the ultra low noise design, you can use the Boost 'n' Buff out the front of dirt pedals or high gain amps without worrying about introducing any significant noise.By adding the Boost 'n' Buff in your signal chain, especially near the front of your effects, you'll notice that in bypass mode your guitar signal will have a bit more sparkle and top end detail. It's not that there are any special EQing 'tricks', but rather that the Boost 'n' Buff is faithfully reproducing all of the frequencies that are coming out of your guitar. Your tone will feel a bit more powerful, with more punch and almost as if there's more dynamic range and 'sustain' (although these are not the right words to describe it). You've got to try it out to feel what I'm talking about.Flat Booster: In the first half of the volume sweep, the frequency response of the Boost 'n' Buff is flat. This provides you with about 15db of flat boost before the frequency response of the pedal starts to become more treble booster-like. This is perfect for solo volume boosts. The one thing to note is that if you're going to us
