JHS buffer

By CHARLES D. from MONTPELIER, VA

Lets face it folks. This is a boring piece of kit. But it does the job very well and has cleaned up my crazy pedal board signal and brought back my high end and made my vintage effects(ADA flanger) sound much better. As always great service from Sweetwater and my guy Jason Mathis as always!!

Simple is good.

By Craig K. from South Carolina
Music Background: I get paid to play originals! (and you can too)

It's a Splitter! It's a Buffer! It's small! It's good! I use two of them to split out a stereo signal to two amps, before a speaker emulator (OX Stomp) that goes to the PA.

Nice Splitter

By Alan Z. from Eagle River, AK
Music Background: Gigging Musician

AS with all JHS products, they are superior to most and keep the working musician in mind. I use this to run two separate amplifiers. This works perfectly. I practice with 2 amps, and I like to easily switch between them or play through both at a live show. This is nice to input from your pedalboard and then run out to two amps or any other reason you may have.
Great little item. Get One!

Buffered splitter

The unit is well built, robust in a small foot print to fit nicely on a board. It preforms up to spec.

Not worth $

By Sweetwater Customer
Music Background: Hobbyist

Overpriced. This thing is noisy. First splitter I bought was a no name Chinese POS for $ on ebay. But it was quiet and no perceived high end loss. This guy is not only noisy, but cuts the 16k+ completely. I do that anyway in post to make room for hi-hats & symbols. But I like it to be there anyway. Turning my presence knob on my old school Yamaha DG80 doesn't seem to help either. It kinda sucks. More so because the JHS Moonshine is my absolute favorite overdrive. Not sure how they goofed this up.

Does the Job!

By Mel from PA
Music Background: Gigging Musician

I wanted a splitter to send the signal from my pedal board into two amps and this sturdy little box does exactly that. The graphics on the outside and the layout (2 outputs close together with input further away) helps make set up a breeze.

It's Buffered! In case you didn't see that, now you know.

By Mason P. from Bradford, OH
Music Background: Close to 40 years messin' 'round

I don't know where I missed it, but I missed it. I didn't see that this is a buffered splitter. I was wanting to split my signal into two fuzz pedals. Fuzz pedal like to see the impedance straight from your guitar and (generally speaking) hate buffers. Still, not a useless item and I'll keep it for some other opportunity. Really with JHS would put a switch on it to bypass the buffer if desired.

Great little pedal

By Adam from California
Music Background: Bedroom guitarist

I have this pedal so I can use one instrument cable to go to two different amplifiers. I like that it's a buffered pedal because one of the cable runs is a longer run. It's a great little pedal, built like a tank, and does what it's supposed to do.

The only addition to the pedal that would be handy for my situation would be a power switch. I don't like constantly plugging and unplugging pedals, to avoid wearing out the plugs, so I purchased a switched extension cord for the plug to go on.

NOISE, HUM but a great idea

By dr. u. from Los Angeles
Music Background: professional

This buffer is a great idea and I tried the get the best out of it. It ended up acting up within a few days. I had JHS fix it and when they sent it back, it did work but with some jack issues (NO, not my mogami cables). It is VERY NOISY. Hum, hum hum (I have the Strymon Zuma power supply), and I am talking using just one side, not two amps which can introduce ground loop hum. The piece that I have seems to generate noise in any scenario. It might my piece in particular, but this is my experience with it. Two bad. The idea behind this buffer is great. It sound bright and open.

Simple, quiet, small.

By Michael from CA

Perfect for my need: small, powered, 1-in/2-out. I am using this at the end of the pedal board to use both inputs (jump the channels) on a Vox AC15C1. Also using to send signal to two different amps. The JHS exceeds expectations for these applications.
Before this, I tried a regular splitter cable, this works a lot better, no signal loss.

Don’t love it...

By Jeff from Georgia
Music Background: Very Experienced Player

I purchased this buffered signal splitter to try diff amps together... one clean the other dirty, one dry and one with effects, etc.

While the pedal works and does not seem to color or attenuate the signal, it has a couple of drawbacks (but to be fair it could be my expectations differed from what JHS intended).

First, 60 cycle hum when splitting the signal to 2 amps. I resolved this by lifting the ground on one amp but I was surprised by that.

Second, I only had good signal results when using before any pedals. In other words, just the guitar level signal not a higher signal after pedals. This could be my fault and it is not intended to be used that way but the signal when used after pedals for me was noisy and that wad how I wanted to use it.

Third, this is a quirky issue. When the buffer is powered up and in use anything that touches the pedal will cause noise in the amps... a cord pulled across it, your foot hits it, anything that jostles, scrapes, bumps the pedal will result in a substantial noise (though momentary) in your amps.

All in all it seems to work properly and satisfies the "don"t change my sound" criteria but not being able to use it after a pedal due to noise was disappointing and the ground loop issue (though solvable) was unexpected. The extraneous noise from any touch to the case was a bit weird I thought as well. Maybe not an issue but casts some doubt on the quality to me.

Does It's Job Flawlessly

It does exactly what it's supposed to do for me. Splits the signal and is silent. Can't ask for more out of this device.

Good, but not perfect

By Derrek from Brentwood, TN

There's really not a whole lot to cover here, so let's just get right into it!

This pedal does a decent job at splitting one's guitar signal, but it's by no means perfect.
I bought this pedal to split a guitar/bass signal between a mic preamplifier's instrument input and an amp.
The pedal does in fact split the singal relatively well, but it's not without a loss in signal quality.
The quality loss is not a huge one, but it is still noticeable nonetheless -- albeit subtle.
Namely, there is a loss of immediacy and articulation in the guitar signal - some of the note definition and pluckiness is lost. Along with this is a slight loss in the upper-highs. Additionally the lows seem to be slightly less tight and less defined. The also seems to be a very slight drop in volume.
Again, the difference is subtle, but for discerning studio applications, any loss in quality is generally considered unacceptable.
This pedal still does a pretty good job, but I ultimately decided to send it back.
I need something that does not degrade the signal quality to a noticeable degree.
However, if you're not as picky as I am, it might suit you just fine.

Does a nice job

By SGaren from Southwest Ohio

Running two amps in tandem from my pedalboard. I needed a splitter that is small, and buffered, as most of my pedals are true bypass.

My pedalboard is small, with not a lot of room for bulk...should I add another pedal or two. This buffer works for saving more pedalboard real estate, and can be placed in any direction, anywhere, if I need it.

Large pedalboards are said to need a buffer in front, and at the end, of the signal chain. Especially if the pedals are all true bypass. TB pedals add more length of invisible cable (imagine each pedal as additional cable), resulting in loss of tone from guitar to amp. A buffer at both ends of a large pedalboard helps prevent that tone loss.

If my pedalboard was larger, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase the other buffer JHS offers, for the front end. However with this buffered splitter I have no tone loss, my pedalboard is quiet, and I can run my pedalboard into my two amps.

How did I live without this?

By Cain
Music Background: Playing for 20 years, 15 in professional capacity

I've always thought that buffers were bad, and everything had to be true bypass to "keep my tone", but after being frustrated by muddy base tone for many years (always had to crank highs and gain) I finally did some research and discovered that not all buffers are created equal. Only bad buffers are bad. I got this hoping it would fix my problem, and boy did it ever. Stick it right at the front of your chain and bask in the tone right sonic bliss. If you're running 10' cables and 1 or 2 pedals, you might not notice much of a difference but for a pedal board a quality buffer is a must. Next on the list is to get my Ernie Ball VP Jr modded by JHS so I can have quality buffers at the start and end of my pedal board.

Buffers

By Mark from North Carolina

This is the first single purpose Buffer pedal I have purchased. I have purchased other pedals with built in buffers. This pedal works extremely well and does just what it is supposed too. Highly recommended!

BRILLIANT, AFFORDABLE SIGNAL SPLITTING SOLUTION !

By TIM P.
Music Background: Guitarist of long standing (knocking on) !

It does what it says on the box - while giving your split signal a helping shove through your pedalboard....Mine solved a stereo routing problem I'd been wrestling with for ages, resulting in a much more flexible pedal layout with no treble loss whatsover ! Plus it's tiny -and very reasonably priced, like other JHS designs ! They should put a halo on it !!
