Adding a buffer to fuzz with pickup simulator?

[keevohn]

Hi all,

I'm building a Tactical Fuzz (Thorpy Tacit Blue), which is basically an NPN Ge Fuzz Face with a 42TL019 transformer. I also have a C-Buffer board that I never got around to installing in anything.

Would it be unwise to build the C-Buffer into the fuzz? I like the idea of having it at the front of my chain, but I know buffers in front of FF's is generally a no-no. Does the pickup simulator negate that?

Thanks!

You could build a small loop into the pedal, run the FF in the loop.

When the FF is bypassed the buffer is on,​

when the FF is on the Buffer is off...​

Euna what? That's not a buffer idea!


Anyways, otherwise, seems like a waste of the buffer board.
