An Empress Legacy Serving Your Signal
Empress is renowned for its precise and silent buffers. The Buffer++ takes this expertise further by combining exemplary transparency with advanced routing architecture. It becomes the heart of your chain, ensuring a clean and consistent signal path, regardless of your setup size.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Ideal for guitarists, bassists, and multi-instrumentalists who switch between multiple instruments or need to frequently reconfigure their pedalboards. On stage, it stabilizes the signal and simplifies logistics. In the studio, it provides a reliable and repeatable audio flow, essential for capturing perfect takes.
Smart Features and Connectivity
The Buffer++ centralizes signal management: 12 internal modes optimize the order and parallelism of your loops, while transformer isolation prevents ground loops. The integrated boost delivers a clean level increase to drive an amp or compensate for long chains. The input level display facilitates gain staging, the tuner mute enables instant silencing, and polarity inversion ensures optimal stereo compatibility.
Sound Character
Its character is deliberately neutral: no coloration, just faithful reproduction, full of dynamics and clarity in the highs. The buffer effectively combats brightness loss caused by long cables, while the boost adds headroom without hardening the tone. Ideal for preserving playing feel intact, even in the densest pedalboards.
