IC BUFFER RTS PCB

The ready-to-solder (RTS) PCB for our single IC-powered buffer: a small, simple board that keeps your tone clear through long cable runs and pedal chains.

About this PCB

The Single IC Buffer is a simple design with very few parts. Use it in a standalone box, build it into a splitter or A/B/Y switch box, or put it in front of any unbuffered pedal to recover the treble that a long signal chain can lose. Many Boss™ and some Ibanez™ pedals already have non-bypassed buffers, so if those are in your chain you may already have one; the project page explains impedance and buffers in more detail.

If you need several of these for building Dirk Wacker's DIY True Bypass Strip Project, this is the board to use.
