Members zinzin Posted August 31, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 31, 2007 is having a buffer in a wah a good or bad thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members andreas Posted August 31, 2007 Members Share Posted August 31, 2007 It depends on where it is located. If it sits where Dunlop placed in in the GCB-95, it is not good for the wah sound, IMHO. The buffer (located right before the input to the circuit) was one of the very few things that differed between the V847 and the Dunlop GCB-95, and it was added by Dunlop in an effort to try to minimize tone sucking in bypass mode. Going to true bypass would have been far more effective (as the buffer doesn't actually buffer the bypass signal - it sits right on the effect input, to raise its input impedance). I was under the impression that the V847A was true bypass, so I don't see the point of them adding a buffer to it unless of course they added the buffer to the output of the wah circuit, to help it cut through fuzz (like a Foxrox FWR). /Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members andreas Posted August 31, 2007 Members Share Posted August 31, 2007 Ah... that makes it basically a GCB-95 in Vox clothing - the buffer and adapter jack was just about the only difference between them before, and now the V847 has them too. /Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
