Product Description
Introducing the Vertex Buffer Interfaces and Buffer Modules. The first all-in-one solution that covers 99% of all pedalboard routing options, whether you have multiple amps, amps with effects loop, a wet/dry/wet rig, an impedance sensitive fuzz, or want to side-chain pedals off the board in the middle of your signal path with an insert loop, these boxes have a solution for you that won't compromise on tone.
Why Vertex Buffers?
Vertex’s buffers are designed to have no sound of their own - totally transparent, no colour, no EQ, no distortion - just your tone as though you plugged your guitar directly into your amp with a 10ft cable (even if you're running a dozen or more pedals between the guitar and amp with over 100ft. of cable).
Their buffers are built to the highest standards with the proper specifications for guitar signals: 1M ohms input impedance, 100-ohm output impedance (10x lower than the industry standard of 1K ohms), the lowest possible noise, and the highest possible headroom (running 12V rail to rail or essentially ~24V internally).
Beyond that, Vertex custom-build their own isolation transformer, providing players total galvanic isolation for their multi-amp set-ups, with the highest amount of transparency (most transformers significantly colour the tone, and often are input transformers designed to be next to your amp's input, not the output of the pedalboard), while rejecting the maximum amount of hum caused by ground loops that may be present in your rig.
Additionally, they provide a polarity switch for the transformer that allows you to correct any phase issues that might occur when running multiple amps at the same time.
