Hello
I am a service tech and have been involved with the OBEL system installing and repairing it for a long time now. I've been making these buffers for myself and my private cliental with very good results, I am endorsed for repair by Phiga guitars. I Make the Tiger Buffer to spec following the published schematic and hand test each one. They are made with the best Materials available, Wima Caps, Dale Military or consumer resistors upon request , NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR 356n, Reinforced gold insert Dip socket, and lastly a new twist in connection technology, a Phoenix Contact 4 pin Screw header. This allows a high quality no solder screw connection guaranteed not to oxidize and perform as well as solder without the work, finally no more broken connections. This connection allows easy installation and removal for the lifetime of the unit. The unit is all hand soldered on high quality perf board either using the component leads for connection or Tin Plated Copper Buss Wire from tube depot. It conforms to the original published schematic with a few minor layout changes for a nice small package. Essentially this is point to point connection. The picture speaks for itself these items are meticulously assembled. This is an all handmade product and will only be offered as a handmade product not to compete with other offerings/versions of this item and to ensure the best quality performance and a history accurate recreation of the original tiger buffer. This is not to be confused in any way with the CAE line of buffers, They are a different design and result. The key things i can say about this buffer is it is warm and musical sounding, and they interact with your effects in a way that will help you achieve your goals, especially with the mutron 3's filter response. It is priced modestly at $60 + shipping. comes with a full 1 year warrantee and money back guarantee. All Payments will be through payppal to ensure security. . the dimensions are 1-1/2" x 1-3/4" x 7/8". please respond to dallek@nyc.rr.com if you are interested, Buffers will be made to order. Note of interest the Avatar is an additive scope comparison of a dry and buffer processed signalthank you

In the picture i Had to completely rewire the guitar after another parties attempt to fix it. I have switched to a smaller one piece header connector, this is an older prototype
I also offer installation of this item, I can install the OBEL and i highly recommend another product to be used with any Buffer and OBEL, that is the LOBAT Battery Monitoring System. If you need any of these services please contact me. I can provide references for my work if requested
Here are some comments from satisfied customers

So far I've only played it with my Mutron octave divider and my Fender combo. To me the new buffer's sound is much crisper, bell like highs and crisp lows. It's definitely a better sound. Did not over power the octave divider. Tonight I will put it through my complete Hard Truckers rig with Mutron at practice and let you know more.

Perfect. Sounds like it should, no changes in tone and loud.
I want to swap out the v1 and v2 tubes to the telefunkun tubes.
Nice crisp top end and tight lows with tons of tone options.
Thanks.

You sound like my kind of person, you've been extraordinarily patient with me and from what I can gather you are extremely honest, extremely fair and not out to rip anyone off. The internet is filled with deceitful people, you really can't tell who to trust, but I wholeheartedly trust you.
Thank you so much, you are a true gentleman.
