Friedman Buffer Bay 6 Buffer and Junction Box

The Friedman Buffer Bay 6 is a simple solution that incorporates Dave's wealth of experience and knowledge providing players an innovative tool which can be easily implemented to any pedalboard or easily mount into any Friedman-branded pedalboard.The Buffer Bay accomplishes two basic things.First, it is an ultra transparent, natural and musical sounding buffer, which can be turned on or off using the provided switch. The buffer solves the fundamental problem of loading loss caused by interconnected cables and some pedals. This "loss" siphons guitar of fidelity, tone and volume level. This problem occurs even if all the pedals used are true bypass and the more pedals and longer the cable runs, the greater the losses.The Buffer Bay 6 circuitry, when engaged, sounds identical to guitar straight into the amp! can access the buffer using the buffers IN connector on one side of the Buffer Bay and Buffer Out on the other side.Second, the Buffer Bay is a patch bay with the following benefits:Cleans up all of the connections on pedalboard.Allows for tighter pedal placement on the board ( no longer need to access the jacks on certain pedals).Lets have all cables from board in the same location allowing neater cord runs on stage. pedal chain in permanently connected making setup and takedown quick and painless.Saves the life of the jacks on pedals by not plugging in cables ever y time play.Easily configure input or output in hard to reach places.The Buffer Bay 6 includes 5 identical 1/4-in. TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) in and out connections and a Buffered TS (tip, sleeve) connection (can be turned ON/OFF via switch). It also provides a 7 pin MIDI thru connection. The Buffer Bay 6 can be used for a wide variety of connection schemes. Once the Buffer Bay is configured on board, simply plug guitar and amp in and no longer have to fight with first and last pedals.Using an extra patch cable can easily go from using an amp with an effects loop to using one without.
