The RockBoard® Natural Sound Buffer V2 preserves the natural sound of a guitar or bass in conjunction with effect pedals, and prevents signal loss. Musicians who use elaborate effects pedal setups especially know this problem: long cable runs and effects chains cause an unintended change in their guitar tone. Loss of high frequencies makes the sound dull and changes its characteristics in an undesirable way. We have the solution: The RockBoard® Natural Sound Buffer V2!

It features an op-amp-based buffer circuit that takes the high impedance output signal, converts it to a low impedance signal, and gives it an inaudible amount of additional gain.

The RockBoard® Natural Sound Buffer V2 will be traditionally inserted between the instrument and the first stomp box in the chain. In this way, it will feed the rest of the signal chain the natural sound of your tone, without distortion and without additional noise and will help you drive long cable runs without any frequency loss. Simply connect a stabilised 9V DC power adapter – 2.1 x 5.5 mm barrel plug, negative centre polarity – (not included) like the RockBoard® Power Ace to the power supply input, plug your instrument into the input jack of the RockBoard® Natural Sound Buffer, and the output jack to the first stomp box in the effect chain. However, with certain effects pedals that require high impedance input signals, like many fuzzes, there can be undesired effects like distortion or feedback, if they are placed after the Natural Sound Buffer V2 in the signal chain. Should you experience any unwanted effects in when using effects pedals in conjunction with the RockBoard® Natural Sound Buffer V2, experiment with the placement of the RockBoard® in your signal chain to utilise its full potential.

In the current JustPedals catalogue, Rockboard is represented by Pedalboards, Wah & Filter Pedals and Tuner Pedals. Current listings include PedalSafe Pick Box, QuickMount Pick Box and Power Block ISO V6+. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus pedalboard infrastructure and control. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Utility Pedals

Utility pedals perform practical signal, power or control jobs rather than one conventional musical effect. They may provide switching, buffering, routing, mute, gain, impedance conversion, noise management, tap control or connection between different pieces of equipment. Their value depends on the details: check the signal level, input and output format, bypass behaviour, power requirement, control assignment and whether the unit is intended for instrument or line-level use. A small utility can solve a board problem, but the wrong routing can add noise or incompatibility.

Bass

Bass products are designed or voiced to retain low-frequency information and usable headroom with bass guitar or other low-register sources. Controls may centre on clean blend, low-end EQ, compression, crossover points or drive character. A guitar pedal can sometimes work well on bass, but it may remove the fundamental or compress the transient. Check the frequency response, input impedance, output level and dry-signal path with the intended tuning and amplifier.
