HIGH-WIRE™ BOOST
The HIGH-WIRE™ DUAL BUFFER/
OUTPUT BOOST resolves the
deep-rooted signal loss and inconsistent tone issues faced by guitarists due to; capacitive loading,
impedance loading and mismatching, and changes to a pickup’s resonant frequency/peak, as a result
of varying effect pedals and interconnecting cables. It accomplishes
this by providing the two constants
in every guitar rig, the guitar and
amplifier, with a resolute load and
source, via its input buffer and output line-driver, respectively. The two
circuits form an effects loop, which
segregates the guitar and amplifier
from the variables on a pedalboard,
easily handles many pedals, interconnecting cables, and effortlessly
drives a long cable run to the backline amplifier. The input buffer converts the guitar’s high-impedance
signal to low-impedance, which
also minimizes its susceptibility to
noise, interference, and even some
of the switch “popping” associated
with true-bypass pedals. The output line-driver targets the inability
that many pedals, and even some
buffers have, which is to adequately
drive a very long cable run to a backline amplifier. As a result, the only
variations in sound and tone will be
from the actual effect of the pedals
on the pedalboard, and not from a
guitar or amplifier related loading or
impedance mismatch issue.
