@@marioyakir5486 they just landed at Sweetwater, should ship this week!
@@VertexEffectsInc I just got a Shipping notice. You are right. Thanks!!
YOU INCLUDED THE TUNER IN YOUR SIGNAL CHAIN DIAGRAM! No one does this and it has kinda frosted me for a while and kept me from trying to run my buffers. I never said I was smart. Thank you!!!!! I should toss my buffers I've been wanting to run and just buy this one out of principle. VRTX is a phenomenal company and this channel is truly a God send that has helped answer so many questions I have had. VRTX is the real MVP ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Mason, would you say Josh Scott’s buffer pedal is way way way better than yours?
@@surfthejapstrat7010 my understanding is that it's similar to the buffer in a Klon. That's a great overdrive, but not so good of a buffer if you're comparing it to the criteria you want for a quality buffer (tone-wise). I'm sure it's well built, as all JHS stuff is - but it will have a particular sound that's different than the guitar and amp alone with a 10ft. cable as as baseline (and you might want that). It's not really a comparable product. You'd have to get four of them plus an isolation box of some kind to get the same performance as our interface or module buffers do.
I appreciate good pedalboard utilities. It's a boring subject so I feel like not enough companies even take the time to offer the stuff.
They're the core of any board!
Every company makes a buffer
How much did you get paid ?
One of the first pedals I bought my sister when she was getting into guitar was a tuner pedal. I said it's not flashy, but you need it.
@@KoaCharvelI gigged after a band who’s bassist didn’t own a tuner. I gave him mine for the gig 🧐
I bought one of these and mounted it in my board. This is the bomb. It fixed a lot of issues I had with my board.
Thank you for the in-depth explanation. I went ahead and ordered one today. You answered all my questions. Much appreciated. ✌🏾
You guys just solved my issue about what damn 2 in and out buffers I am trying to purchase! I’m going to order one! Thanks for making such pedal that a lot of us out there are looking for! I watch all you vids
Hope to get one in your hands soon!
Seriously! My conundrum as well. If you're running four-cable method and plan on having a buffer everywhere (not on the FX Loop out if you have a good FX Loop, right?), then you need three. This saves space and cable.
Such a great tutorial on buffers and a great buffer design. Thanks for this.
You explain concepts so well! Thanks!
Pre ordered this back in may! Stoked to finally get it in
They've landed, you should see it ship out this week!
Great Job Mason. I have waited for this pedal for such a long time
Hope you like it!
I'm running audition loop with 2nd amp out from AMP-R. works flawlessly. Love tis box.
Finally, I've been waiting for this video for an eternity
They've landed, you should see it ship out this week!
Man mason finally ! Good wood audio has been getting all that clout 😂
@@Tone2town They make good stuff too, certainly more custom than this.
Damn!! Great video! Loved the different routing schemes, and now I know what a wet/dry/wet set up looks like. Thanks man!! Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks for watching!
A very clever solution, the 5 cable is a winner!!!
Yes indeed!
Excellent diagrams. Thank you!!
Hope they're helpful!
Excellent video and product. I will be looking at integrating this device into my 4 cable setup. Thank you.
Amazing!
I’m sold. Been looking to buffer my rig for years. I run a hybrid rig with Synergy preamps and Torpedo CAB M+. It ends up being a four cable method, and this looks perfect!
I need this in my life. Great job vertex team.
🙏🙏🙏
This detailed video convinced me to pick one of these up.
Thanks for the support!
Pretty cool box, really good documentation on how to use it
🙏🙏🙏
Love all you do, Mason and team.
I’m keen to hear the 100 foot cable with and without the buffer please. A more accurate comparison IMO
We never heard the 100ft cable without the buffer... How dare you, Doc!
The reason is that 100ft. would never be a baseline someone would calculate. The sound you want to calibrate to is the guitar into the amp with a short cable (hence the 10ft. cable reference). The 100ft. cable is showing a worst case scenario and how closely it resembles the 10ft. cable alone without the buffer. Any buffer will make a 100ft. of cable sound better typically to some degree, but not every buffer can make a 10ft. cable with no buffer sound like a 100ft. cable with a buffer driving it.
Great all in one "buffer box" with a lot of routing possibilities, which I often had to do with separate buffers - love it. 👍 Should be available at Thomann. 😉
Yes, should be there next week!
❤
Man…great job on this.👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks so much!
Love this Mason, I have been using the Mesa High-Wire Dual Buffer on all my boards. I have been waiting for your buffer, I am going to get one from Sweetwater. I am also planning on having a Tone Consulting session with you.
Wonderful! Be sure to get them soon, I think they're already mostly sold out from pre-orders :)
Awesome just ordered ❤
Amazing!
Thank you again mason
Amazing all-in-one buffer system.
Great work on getting all the needs into one compact unit.
Two questions:
On the 4-cable set-up, why not have the FX-loop go through AMP R out?
On the W/D/W set-up, why not have dry go through the FX send and the two wets through AMP R and L?
Yup- I'll be buying one of these!
Amazing!
They qr code is a great idea! The number of times I'm trying to do something simple that I just haven't in a while, so I sit there staring at my phone trying to find a diagram lol
Yea, we thought it would be a good way to access the diagrams fast!
I might have to pick one of these up. The only thing I wish that it had was a second FX Loop so I can run a fuzz pedal like your diagram, but also utilize a 4 Cable Method or an audition loop. Not a biggie though as I can just plug strait into my fuzz and then into the guitar in, but it won't look as clean as all the cables going strait in and out of the interface. Maybe a future version will have the option or like a little add on box with the extra loop. Anyway, it seems like a great product!
Looks great Mason!
You’re going to have the interface version on your board!
@@VertexEffectsInc Can't wait! 🙌
Awesome Mason! 🎸👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😊
Thanks for listening
Definitely added to my X-Mas list.
Heck yea!
Did anyone else think the buffer + 100ft sounded better than straight in? You know you've done a great job when the basic tone doesn't necessarily "change", but the painful shrill bite goes away in a pleasing way, not in a detrimental way like some other brands. Nice work Mason.
Wonder if you're just hearing the dynamics in my picking. We spent a lot of time to ensure that we could get 1:1 with 100ft of even bad high capacitance cable.
@@VertexEffectsInc I would have liked to hear how the 100 ft cable sounds without a buffer box.
@@VertexEffectsInc both recordings sounded different.
In the same way, both times.
Very slight.
At 2x speed it is impossible to miss,
@@VertexEffectsInc A large company released their standalone buffer some years back and even in the you tube vids, the tone changed in a way that made it sound more solid state with noticeable top end gone, as if it was chopped off at a certain frequency. The reviewers were making excuses for it and trying to say thats as good as it gets. Another brand I tried added treble and it sounded brittle. Yet another brand made the tone lose attack and things darkened. Yours sounds completely natural and musical. 100ft has to have some affect on highs, yet yours doesn't lose any "tone", it comes out sounding better.
@@VertexEffectsInc definitely sounds different though, good work being "transparent" guys
Hi Mason. Very clever work. Well done. How does this compare to an Empress Effects buffer plus? One of the features of the Empress that I really like is the tuner out which can mute the signal for quick silent tuning on stage. With your buffer not having this mute capability which mute pedal can you recommend? And would you patch it at the amp out or after the guitar input using one end of y-cable to feed the tuner and the other end going to a mute switch followed by the rest of the pedalboard? Thanks and keep up your valuable and informative work.
"other over the counter buffers"
This was great!
Ha, the “Flonase” of buffers
There was a difference.
Buffered signal sounded smoother...like compression was added. Now, many are saying it sounded "better." Well, ok...but, it is still different than the un-buffered signal. For better or worse.
I would suspect it had more to do with my playing than any real difference. We spent a lot of time to make it 1:1.
@@VertexEffectsInc highs sound rolled off on the 100 foot cable version
@@hotROMin Agreed
Kudos for the Dann Huff track👍
The best!
Hosanna. I ordered mine over a month ago from Sweetwater and it is on its way now. I can finish that paddleboard.
🎸🎸🎸 rock on 🤘
I’ve been wanting something like this for so long. Can’t believe you guys are selling this to the masses at such an awesome price point. Ordering mine ASAP!
Our pleasure! Thanks for the support!
Hey guys, thanks for all the infos, love the channel!!!
Let me ask one thing: is there, somehow, any wiring method to use the 4 cable, BUT with some insert point on it???
Would be lovely, and exactly what I need.
Thanks
I just got the message today that the buffer mod is being shipped today by Sweetwater, i have the vertex elite pedal board. got the power module, just got the Denelectro roebuck, odr, the xtc modded boss e7, the vertex boost, mxr compressor, a delay unit, 2 more buffers , a wah now i am in business
Enjoy it
Ordered this few weeks ago at SweetWater. Can’t wait to get it. I ordered another company’s stereo buffer a few months ago and it killed my sound. I am sure Vertex will make a great buffer that will solve a lot of problems.
Mind saying which company the other buffer came from so I know to avoid it?
@@SparkleAndFade33 Starts with a G. Love my Empress Buffer but it is mono. They do not make their stereo buffer anymore.
Enjoy! Let us know if you have any questions
Got it from Sweet Water. Works perfectly. Thank you for making this!
Good day, I love all your videos and I have learned so much, Thank you.I have a question regarding this buffer interface, I have a EVH 5150 III and I want to know how to wire your buffer using 4CM and also having a pass through for the EVH amp channel switcher, is this possible with this unit? Thanks again and be safe.
I've bee waiting for over 7 months and have had it pre-ordered at Seetwater since then.
They've landed, you should see it ship out this week!
the QR code is BRILLIANT!!! Wish some of my more complicated pedals had that feature. Are you listening Strymon, UAFX, etc?
Jackson Audio was the first I saw to do it!
Looks imteresting, can you provide the specs in number form of the impedance and such compared to a popular onboard in/out buffer like the ES5/8 for example. I also hear a slight tonal difference but ny guess is this is more due to the capacitance of the 10ft cable... perhaps if the base tone used a 2ft cable we wouldnt hear the tonal shift.
Great job with these videos btw, no one does it like vertex
Not only do I now want a buffer, but you have also forced me to save up for a Wet/Dry/Wet setup now that I know what that is... thanks for making me poor. Also, good job explaining things.
I think the thing with buffers is we’ll never get our original tone back but it’s the best we can make up
For it
I need both
This looks amazing, I use
the providence STV-1 Tuner that has a
Vitalizer buffer and is a router too, but i still
notice degradation to my tone from my
Friedman amp through my pedalboard
because when I plug straight, the amp
sounds AMAZING!! Are these available in
the U.K.?? And also my suggestion would
be that I use 4 cable method with my time
based effects in the FX Loop of the amp,
however sometimes I don't use them in the
FX Loop and want them front of the amp so
is there an automatic connection within the
interface so that when the loop outs aren't
in use it auto routes to the output.
Templeboard do this with their 4x MOD Pro Module. Thanks
This is great !
Fantastic buffer with a lot of routing options! It would be interesting to listen the 100ft cable without buffer to listen the degradation of the signal
The reason is that 100ft. would never be a baseline someone would calculate. The sound you want to calibrate to is the guitar into the amp with a short cable (hence the 10ft. cable reference). The 100ft. cable is showing a worst case scenario and how closely it resembles the 10ft. cable alone without the buffer. Any buffer will make a 100ft. of cable sound better typically to some degree, but not every buffer can make a 10ft. cable with no buffer sound like a 100ft. cable with a buffer driving it.
I would have thought the reason you would need a buffer on the board is because of a long cable run, and/or load of pedals? To bring back the signal lost through the impedance of said cable/pedals.
Hence why people would say 'it made me sound brighter or brittle. Well it would if it brought back the high frequencies lost through long cables.
I think there's more misunderstanding what buffers are and what they do, rather than them all just been 'bad' buffers.
Though, obviously, some may be worse than others, but not because of that reason.
@@jayjayripoff exactly, usually when you don't have a buffer you tend to crank the treble on the amp or the pedals ti compensate the frequency Lost, when you put the buffer and you brought back the treble Lost It result to much , and people think buffers are brittle and harsh
@@lorenzocomelli2898 so we'd kinda need to hear the difference between:
- no buffer, 10ft cable vs 100ft cable.
- no buffer, with pedalboard, 10ft cable vs 100ft cable before board (after would be irrelevant).
- both scenarios with buffer vs competition buffer.
Right?
My favorite point in this video was your use of the word “exemplar.” 😄
This guy is buffer king
Hahahaha
Great video man I'm definitely gonna buy one of these I've been deciding what buffer I'm gonna buy and this is definitely it! I did have a question though. I'm currently using a Boss IR-200 in stereo instead of traditional amp but I've been thinking about trying out a wet/dry/wet setup. would I be able to do this with another amp/cab sim in addition to the IR-200 or would I need a traditional amp? Thanks!
You'd need something like the Stereo Cab Zeus, check out our video on it.
The Level set buffer by Fender, sits at the start of the signal chain. Couldn't play without it.
I just bought this buffer from Sweetwater. I own the ES-5 and the 8. Would you recommend that I disable the buffers from the es 5 and 8 while using the Vertex buffer? Also I was Having a hard time with ES 5 trying to route it with your diagrams which are great ! But this Es 5 is throwing me for a loop😂
Excellent job with this new buffer Mason and Vertex Effects! You guys have thought of everything with this useful and versatile pedal! Quick question, would a buffer pedal be of any use to help with a digital based modeler pedals like a Helix, Atomic Amplifire, or Kemper Profiler?
Peter, thank you! If you're using a digital modeler you're kinda already in the that world and a lot of this stuff, nuance-wise, might not be so critical since it's all digital. You will have cable capacitance, of course, but if you're already in the digital world you're kinda already saying "F it" to tone in some ways.
@@VertexEffectsInc kind of figured that. May be on the way back to an analog world soon, as I'm getting tired of all the frustrations that tend to come with digital regarding tone. Good to know there's an awesome and flexible buffer out on the market to get when I do!
They look amazing, great job Mason!
Thank you so much! Hope to get one in your hands and in your rig!
It will definitely go perfectly with my Vertex Boost, SRV SSS, Digitech Polara, and DC-2W… i am copying your rig!
@@personalfreedom2700 nice! Sounds like a nice rig :)
This is a great pedal Mason. How does it compare to the Lehle Sunday Driver SW aside from the multiple I/O?
One thing I wish you could've done for the video was to plug your guitar into a passive volume pedal, from the volume pedal into a pedalboard and then out of the pedalboard with a 100ft cable to the amp with no separate buffer anywhere in the chain.
Sunday Drive is good, it unloads the guitar however with too high an input impedance relative to a normal amp as I recall. Secondly, they don't build rigs so I always feel that many brands are at a disadvantage as they don't really see a lot of pedals from hundreds of different makers to figure out what works as a part of the whole. That's one big advantage we have separately from anything to do with electronics. The VP situation won't change, 100 ohm output Z with the quality of this buffer could drive more than 100ft. even with VP and no loss.
At last Mason. Freaking awesome
Thanks Peter!
Question: would you consider the Boss Slicer pedal a “Time Based Effect” when it comes to your wiring options?
Hey Mason! One question: is there a possibility to acquire it in Europe (apart from buying it internationally from Sweetwater)? I am building a decent studio pedalboard and I've been thinking about an item like yours to incorporate to my new build (and haven't found any but yours).
Thanks in advance!
7:22 Max Headroom hahaha I remember that broadcast.
Huh?
@@VertexEffectsInc Someone hijacked a TV station one time to sent a broadcast that was a parody of some AI news reporter TV show. If you search Max Headroom that's the first result you'll get. I don't know what's so confusing about it.
3:12 classic dying string sound, bet it feels that squishy too
It's here!
Yes!
Dr would it be possible for you to provide a wiring diagram with this Vertex buffer with the Boss Es- 5 and 8 ? Thank you in advance.
Thanks Mason and @vertexeffects!! I've been waiting this buffer for a long time, now. However, It's not possible to order it from France. Do you think it could be possible in a short time?
Yes, see Andertons or Thomann!
Super interested in this- can you use one of the amp in/outs for amp channel switching?
Yes, the SEND is a multi purpose jack for use as a TRS or TS through for amp switching or you can convert it to MIDI as well.
How about!! When you’re using a 7 cable method? Using a multi effects unit along with the gains of 2 amplifiers ?(obviously using the fx loop for external modulation pedals)
Since I’m running multiple Strymons including a boost/compressor first…& a built in buffer in BigSky outs to the amps… am I already good without this?
I love it, but I have gotten so used to the Mesa High Wire having a built in clean boost, I’m not sure I want to go back to needing two separate pedals for buffer and boost again. Hmmm… 🤔
The High Wire is a good buffer, no doubt. If you're happy with it, why change?
I like the idea, but can't seem to find it at any european dealer I tried (in Germany and the Netherlands). Is it available already?
Hi, I'd like to make sure I understand properly. I'll be using this on my ampless rig with stereo effects. Would this method work?
Guitar in > dry effects > preamp pedal > return on the buffer > send on the buffer > wet effects > stereo on buffer
I am running an „always on“ pedal (Savior Machine, Shoe) in the front (after Fuzzface and Wah though) and in the end (EP Booster, Xotic) before going to the amps - is this sufficient as buffer? The board is pretty big (13 pedals in front, 5 in loop).
I ordered mine in May. Still nothing….can’t wait to finish this project.
They literally just landed at Sweetwater.
Is this one recommended for bass also, I know you mentioned they can be different ?
I am using a line 6 POD GO. Do I need a buffer ? Another option is I may need to run a 50 foot cord from the pod go to an amp in the studio. How would I connect a buffer for that ?
So in a 4cm with a Switcher , in line volume pedal , the Emprerss Buffer and a Sentry noise gate( A lot of maintence pedals here) So Guitar into the Buffer or Noise gate first? Buffer makes sense but you lose the input push right? So then maybe the Noise gate IN first from Guitar, then hit the Buffer then the Switcher to start your front of amp effects. Then the Send out of the Switcher to the Front of your amp, no maintence pedals in this signal. The Send out of your effects loop into the Volume pedal for overall master volume, Then the Noise gate then into the Switcher Volume return. From there the Modulation delay reverb type effects loops are after the volume input loop and then the output of the Switcher to the Buffer and then out to the Return of your amps effects loop . Do I have the right or would you do it differently? I'm using a Boss ES-8 as the switcher and it's awesome.
I have an "eqd swiss things" and an "empress buffer+ stereo", using them in WDW.
Would this buffer and routing solution replace both those pedals? I'm using the swiss things to output to my dry fx then to the dry amp, then line out to wet fx, using the empress buffer+ stereo to provide the buffers there. The advantage I see of the buffer+ stereo is the ability to sum to mono. But I know you don't like doing that, and I shouldn't either, but it's nice to have that option.
Awesome. Do you guys do a buffer pedal for bass/will do one?
It will work for bass as well, however there is much more variety of input impedance for bass amps so depending on your amp this input impedance on our buffer could be too low based on what you're used to. Some amps for bass are as high as 10M ohms. Where as all guitar amps are pretty much all 1M.
I have 1M on my current amp so good. If that goes up on a future amp we could what throw a Sunday driver before the Interface?
You are a genius brother; can you help this old rocker, turned retired firefighter, but still playing in my bedroom. I have 5 Gain, overdrive drive etc. pedals and 8 stereo effects pedals. Going into two amps. I want to keep it simple. I have the Boss ES-8, I cant deal with that. So I am scrapping it. It looks like this would be perfect for me. Can you confirm
do I need one when I run a wireless system between my guitar and my pedal board.?
I have a dual amp setup so where do I put the buffer and I have 4cable method, so I run fuzz>tuner> drives> chorus> stereo reverb>> split to matchless and split to Princeton . os how do I use a buffer with the loop function or do I need 3 small seperate ones ? I have. Peterson stompHD which says has a great buffer but not sure its good enough
Hey man! What about using this with a Line 6 HX Effects? Is it necessary?
I’ve been watching several of your videos and am wondering if I need a buffer on my board. I’m running a Shure wireless, then 11 pedals, then a MXR Boost/Line Driver at the end. All patch cables are Mogami. Using a 25ft Mogami cable to the amp.
You might be OK!
Can you mount it under the pedalboard next to the power source?
Nice Video Mason!Very instructive for me😍May I ask the name of the music begin from 0:22-0:32? Appreciate it a lot!!!
It's from our friend Tim Marco, check him out on IG!
I did hear clarity lost. And Om almost deaf from decade of playing. However I still need both
What is that whammy chorus swell sound? It always reminds me of a transition scene on Saved By The Bell for some reason lol.
Tri Stereo Chorus, Eventide H3000, Lexicon Delays and Reverbs
Here we go!!!
Yes, indeed!
Super excited for this! If the clarity is anything like the boost, it’s going to be amazing! How would/could you use this with the TA Audio Link system?
It’s the same buffer that’s in the Boost, just four of them
See your video with Benjamin Forehand about how to integrate them with the TA link
@@VertexEffectsInc would that require a mod of some sort to the buffer unit?
So my set up currently, I’m running through the UA Dream, into my time based effects and then into the walrus canvas di/line isolator box, which then runs into my Apollo interface, or front of house if I’m gigging.
Ive really been in the market for a buffer pedal like yours. The good wood audios interfacer, the a3 custom tone solution being two that seem to be of similar makeup.
I’m curious whether your pedal can both replace my walrus canvas, and give me an input/output buffer?
And if it doesn’t really offer what the canvas does, would you run your buffer before or after the di box?
Thanks,
Adam
The Canvas is a DI, so no - it won't replace what you have. Honestly I don't think you need it with this set up if you're going balanced out to the board and ampless.
So no example of long cables without your buffer?
100 ft. isn't a the baseline. It's more of a "beyond worst case scenario". 10ft. with no pedals is the closest baseline to what a guitar should sound like ideally, then the 100ft. cable is showing that the buffer can drive it with little to no impact to the baseline (10ft. cable into amp) tone. It's almost impossible to demonstrate something that should have no sound as a "tone" pedal - much of our videos leading up to this support what was being said in this video and demonstrated.
Hello Mason. Love the videos. Is it possible to use the wet dry wet with a fuzz pedal?
Yes, just plug into your fuzz first and then hit the guitar input buffer afterwards.
@@VertexEffectsInc thank you
this is really exactly what I have spent years trying to find for a W/D/W setup. I am unfortunately not technical enough to make something like this on my own.
That being said... do you have a recommendation on a Line Out box for the W/D/W setup?
Yes, this is great for wet/dry/wet. For the line out box I like the Suhr Iso Line Out.
@@VertexEffectsInc awesome - thanks!
@@guitargeek57 Not to rain on the Vertex parade, this is a great product and I own one for a stereo rig. But for Wet/Dry/Wet you might want to check out Goodwood Audio's Wet/Dry/Wet junction box. I am using one for my w/d/w rig and can't recommend it enough.
@@SixStrings2wheels dude… that’s next level stuff.
Definitely will consider it.
Thanks!
Hey man!
Awesome new pedal, I´m a huge fan of your work!
2 Questions:
Is it possible to put a pedal on top of the buffer?
Will it be possible to get it on Thomann in Germany?
Best Regards
Oh and it would be great to know the dimensions of the pedal! :)
1) Yes, no problem.
2) Yes, they'll be there next week!
Module: 5.0" x 2.25" x 1.5"
Interface: 5.0" x 3.0" x 1.33"
@@VertexEffectsInc Any news about the pedal coming to Thomann?
I heard a LOT of compression through the buffer. Sounds good and distinct but straight in has more attack.
You're hearing the pick attack, not the buffer. It's not a direct A/B like turning a pedal on/off. You have to plug in cables add power, etc. It's sorta impossible to get it in real time without a loop of 100ft. of cable sitting around in a true bypass looper with the input buffer connected.
Cool product. So if I’m using a gain pedal to slam the front end of an amp, any output buffer on this VRTX unit will not clip? When I mean slam the front end, I mean a clean Fender amp turns into high gain amp.
No, there's way more headroom in the Vertex Buffer than any pedal could clip even at max settings.
I noticed in the diagram for the effects loop, you placed delay and reverb. Is there any benefit to placing a chorus in the effects loop (specifically for a bass)?
You could, just depends on your chorus and if it can take the level of your loop. There are no standards.
