Members bmast160 Posted January 22, 2008 Members Share Posted January 22, 2008 The manual says the inputs on it are high impedance...so you cant use it if you have a buffer in front of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dmk Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 nah, it just means you can plug your guitar straight in to it without losing the top end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bmast160 Posted January 23, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 confusing...what about a boss fv500h...is this the same thing...or if i have a buffer in front should i use the fv500L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IvIark Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 Stomp boxes are designed to accept a high impedance signal on the input but they can also accept a low one. They have to deal with this internally or else you would only ever be able to have one effect in your chain, so don't worry about the 2880. As far as the volume pedal is concerned, if you intend to use the buffer first, go with the L, if you are going to have the buffer after, go with the H. Volume pedals can add noise if the impedance isn't matched and Boss are specific in which one you should use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IvIark Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 One thing I thought I'd add is that you have to remember that high impedance doesn't equate to "strong signal strength". Impedance is the amount the characteristics of the cable impedes the current and so a low impedance cable run passes a stronger signal. If a piece of equipment can accept a high impedance input then all that means is it is sensitive enough to take a lower signal and will then in turn convert it to a stronger signal.
