Jim Dunlop MXR MC406 CAE Buffer | Buffer Guitar Effect Pedal | Custom Audio Electronics

When you run your signal from your instrument to your amp though long cables and/or through a large array of effects with varying impedance, there's bound to be some signal degradation. Placing the CAE Buffer in your signal chain addresses this issue.

It's a low-noise buffer in a small, rugged housing; it can add up to +6dB of gain with the front-facing gain slider; it makes up for signal loss that can occur when combining effects with different impedance levels; it fine-tunes signal recovery with Hi and Lo cut switches; it has an extra output for a tuner, separate effects chain or amp, and can be set to receive either a buffered or unbuffered signal; it also features a convenient 9VDC power output jack which provides power for another pedal.

The CAE Buffer is truly a mighty utility with a small footprint—an ideal addition to any effects rig or pedalboard!

• Low-noise buffer in a small, rugged housing
• Features a +6dB gain slider with Hi / Lo cut switches to make up for signal loss, when combining effects with different impedance levels
• Extra output for a tuner, separate effects chain or amp
• Can be set to receive either a buffered or unbuffered signal
• 9VDC power output jack which provides power for another pedal
• Can be powered by a Dunlop ECB003 9-volt adapter, or the DC Brick, Iso-Brick, and Mini Iso-Brick power supplies (not included)
• OUTPUT 1 : sends out unaffected INPUT signal or buffered signal
• OUTPUT 2 : sends out buffered signal
• INPUT : receives instrument signal
• GAIN slider : adds up to +6dB of gain to buffered signal
• HI CUT switch : cuts top end frequencies of buffered signal (reduce excessive high end broadband noise)
• LO CUT switch : cuts bottom end frequencies of buffered signal (reduce excessive low end feedback noise)
• BUFFER switch (INTERNAL) : toggles whether the unaffected INPUT signal or the buffered signal is sent to OUTPUT 1
• To access (INTERNAL) switch, remove INPUT and OUTPUT jacks with wrench or nutdriver and slide inner casing from housing
