The primary goal of the Buffer+ Stereo is to eliminate this signal loss, ensuring that your tone is unchanged by your cables. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe've incorporated all the features of our Buffer+ such as the foot-switchable boost, input padding, noise filters, and variable input loading, as well as a ton of additional features such as input metering and clip level indicators, AB\/AY switching, external switch control, and of course full stereo in\/out connectivity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn top of all that, we've added 12 different operating modes, each with its own unique signal routing to provide maximum versatility and adaptability to just about any rig you can throw at it. Whether you're connecting stereo effects out to stereo amps, parallel mono effects chains, dual instruments to switch between, or effects in front of your amp as well as the fx loop, the Buffer+ Stereo has got you covered. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"span6\" style=\"clear: left;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eVideo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=PLSGmZU3-BmnjCryenGJUcxo8PhpCZe0gl\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"span6\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e All Analog Signal Path\u003c\/b\u003e - No digitals in here!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e Switchable Boost\u003c\/b\u003e - Dial in up to 30dB of clean boost and switch on and off with the soft touch foot switch, or optional external footswitch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e AB\/ABY Switching\u003c\/b\u003e - Use the onboard footswitch to AB or AY the outputs, AB the inputs for instrument switching, or even bypass your amp's effects loop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e 12 Different Operating Modes\u003c\/b\u003e - Want to sum stereo effects to dual mono?
