Pedal board Output Buffer ?

[Pimpoftheyear70]

I built the Skeptical buffer and like it alot ... Does exactly what it says it does imo . ( See pics )
But , i have noticed that Pedal PCB does not have the 29 pedals Oamp pcb ( Yet ... )

So my question is , what would be an alternative to build as an Output buffer pedal to compliment the Skeptical Buffer ??


Thx to Pedal PCB for making great projects !

A boost will do it. Just like how the Skeptical Buffer is a buffer with some fixed filters, that oamp appears to be a boost with some fixed filters on toggles.

Hmm.

Well. Buffers are useful. I've never seen the point in using more than one unless one is using a particularly complex board with very long cable runs.

Though it seems to me that the 29 pedals oamp is more of a subtle tone shaper/eq. Which would be where I'd start my search: simple EQ pedals.

I was just looking through some of my PCB boards and i do have a Pedal PCB Transcendence Boost #PCB445 .
And also a Pedal PCB Betty Boost #PCB063

I quite like the ROG "MR. EQ", that'd make a great pairing with a booster of choice, BYOC's has 27db gain... Nevermind.

I just looked at the OAMP, so I see neither of the switches is for tone.



I wonder if the 29 power-section is nicked from Aphex?
Both my Aphex Bass Xciter and Punch Factory do the whole anything-goes power-input:

Bass Xciter
5-12VAC
7-17VDC

Punch Factory
5-32VAC
7-48 VDC
AND even +48V Phantom




Betty Boost seems more versatile, while the Transcendence has a reputation for being pristine ... tough choice. Build both and see!

Maybe try some chip-rolling, see if the Betty Boost is better with Burr-Brown than TL072...

It's straight out of the datasheets. Can't remember which one, but it's not a proprietary thing..

The clandestine preamp might do what ye seek.
