The Empress Buffer+ is a comprehensive input/output utility pedal designed to preserve your tone across long signal chains and complex pedalboards. Its all-analog circuitry ensures your guitar signal stays clean and transparent, with added features that expand its functionality well beyond a standard buffer. A footswitchable boost provides up to 30 dB of clean gain, perfect for solos or compensating signal loss. Holding the footswitch engages a mute function for silent tuning or signal control.
Additional controls include a Pad switch offering +3 dB, 0, or –3 dB input level options, and a variable input loading knob for matching pickup impedance. Two selectable noise filters help reduce unwanted hiss, while a dedicated tuner out keeps your tuner isolated from the main signal path. The Buffer+ also serves as a signal router, tidying up your pedalboard and making setup and teardown faster. Compact and built into a rugged aluminum enclosure, it’s trusted by tone-conscious players to maintain clarity, punch, and versatility in any setup.
