Built on Empress' legacy of transparent, low-noise buffers, the Buffer++ expands into new territory with stereo loop switching, intelligent routing, and powerful signal control tools. It's designed for musicians who find themselves fighting noise, juggling multiple instruments, or repatching rigs often. With 12 internal routing modes, transformer isolation, input metering, and a suite of tools like onboard boost, tuner mute, and polarity switching, the Buffer++ helps players clean up their tone, reclaim valuable pedalboard real estate, and build setups that work in every environment, from tiny stages to pro studios. This pedal isn't just about signal clarity, it's about freedom. Freedom to get creative with routing, to evolve your rig over time, and to show up to a gig knowing your setup will work exactly how you need it to. For those who've tried it, it's already being described as "the one-stop pedalboard I/O solution [they] always dreamed of." Preserve Your Tone Long cable runs and vintage pedals are a recipe for tone loss and unwanted noise. The Buffer++ tackles these problems head-on with an all-analog signal path featuring Dolby-style filtering, transformer isolation, and differential loop returns. Whether you're running stereo effects or stacking gain-heavy pedals, your signal stays clean, punchy, and free of hiss. Of course, sometimes a little high-end rolloff can sound just right. That's why Empress have added an input loading knob, to simulate adding just the right amount of cable-induced warmth, without introducing the noise or mess of actual long cables. Flexible Signal Routing for Any Setup Guitar one song, synth the next? Stereo at rehearsal, mono on stage? The Buffer++ gives you the freedom to plug in multiple instruments and reconfigure your signal path without tearing apart your board. With twelve internal routing modes, input metering, instrument pads, polarity switching, and dual outputs, it's a powerful problem solver for anyone juggling multiple instruments, amps, or FX chains. Less Clutter, More Control Why give up space for a massive switcher when you just need smart routing? The Buffer++ combines stereo loop switching, AB/AY amp and instrument switching, tuner mute, and onboard boost into a single compact utility pedal. It replaces multiple boxes and cables with one intelligent hub-and your board stays clean, efficient, and ready for anything.
