[1127] Improved Buffer

AMZ Buffer pcb

What makes this buffer board special is that the input has been designed to duplicate the input circuitry of the typical tube amp, and it thereby preserves the interaction between the guitar’s pickups and the buffer circuit. This makes the sound of the guitar more natural, with a similar resonant peak, while still providing a low impedance output drive for your cables and pedalboard.

Mini-Muff schematic

The Big Muff may be a classic distortion design, but it is often too much of a good thing. The cascaded gain stages with the dual diode clipping will remove most of the dynamic range from the sound. This article is about trimming down the basic design to give back some of the dynamics, enhance transparency and make the pedal a more useful and versatile distortion/overdrive.
