Hi!
I'm getting a new axe and I want to do this right. Sorry if this has already been answered, but I couldn't seem to find it...I have two questions regarding the OBEL and unity gain buffer. With a UGB and all true-bypass pedals...
1) I've been reading that the low impedence signal can hurt (or, at least, significantly change) the performance of pedals, especially OD and distortions. Is this the case? My band also plays stuff like Phish and Pink Floyd, to give you an indication of the amount of pedals that will be in the chain. I'm concerned about performance of these with a low impedance signal.
2) With no pedals active, being true bypass, I obviously see no problem- low impedence all the way to the amp. My second question is when an effect is used, what impedance is the output from that pedal? Is it still low? Does it depend on the pedal? Do I need another buffer after the chain? I'm assuming most people here have their Mutron at the end of the chain to deal with this? I have a 3Leaf Proton which is true bypass, not buffered. Again, do I need a buffer at the end of the chain?
Thanks
