The Empress Buffer++ is the ultimate utility pedal designed for musicians who demand pristine signal integrity and versatile routing options. Whether you’re switching between instruments, toggling amps, or managing complex effects chains, this pedal preserves every nuance of your tone while offering unparalleled control over your signal path. With its transparent buffering, advanced signal control, and a host of routing modes, the Buffer++ empowers you to build the rig you’ve always dreamed of without compromise.

Built on Empress’s legacy of low-noise, high-quality buffers, the Buffer++ goes far beyond simple tone preservation. It features 12 internal routing modes, input metering, ground loop rejection, and variable input loading for precise tone shaping. This means you can effortlessly switch between guitar and synth, convert stereo rigs to mono, or dial in warm, vintage tones—all without changing a single cable. Its stereo effects loop with noise filtering and footswitchable boost further enhance its versatility, making it a powerful hub for any pedalboard.

Designed to tackle the common problems of tone loss over long cable runs and noisy vintage pedals, the Buffer++ uses an all-analogue signal path with Dolby-style filtering, transformer isolation, and differential loop returns to keep your sound clean and punchy. The variable input loading knob lets you simulate the subtle warmth of cable-induced rolloff without the unwanted noise, giving you more tonal options at your fingertips.

Compact yet packed with features, the Empress Buffer++ replaces multiple pedals and cables with one intelligent device, keeping your setup clean and efficient. Whether you’re a gigging professional or a home studio enthusiast, this pedal offers the flexibility and control to adapt on the fly and preserve your tone in any situation.

Distortion

Distortion pedals take your clean guitar signal and transform it into something bigger, bolder, and full of attitude. By clipping the waveform, they add sustain, bite, and aggression, creating that thick, compressed tone that’s powered rock music for decades. From the growling crunch of classic hard rock to the tight, saturated roar of modern metal, distortion is all about energy and presence. It gives every note weight and authority, pushing your amp to its limits and beyond.

There are countless flavours of distortion, each with its own texture and edge. Some sound smooth and creamy, others raw and gnarly like tearing fabric. It’s the sonic equivalent of turning up the heat until the sound cooks — rich, sizzling, and perfectly seasoned to taste. Whether used for rhythm muscle or soaring leads, a good distortion pedal doesn’t just add volume; it adds personality, grit, and that unmistakable sense of power under your fingers.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

Synth

A synth pedal transforms your guitar signal into rich, layered tones that mimic the sounds of a synthesiser. Using pitch tracking and waveform generation, it can produce everything from deep bass lines to shimmering pads and futuristic leads. Synth pedals open up a wide creative range, blending the expressiveness of guitar playing with electronic textures, making them ideal for experimental sounds, ambient music, or adding a modern edge to classic riffs.

Tuner

A tuner is an essential pedal or device that helps keep your guitar perfectly in tune by detecting the pitch of each string and showing whether it’s sharp or flat. Tuners come in many forms, from simple clip-on units to advanced pedalboard models with bright displays and muting options for silent tuning on stage. They ensure accurate pitch, stable tone, and a more professional sound, making them one of the most important tools for any guitarist.

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.

DEC Buffer Booster Guitar Effect Pedal Clean Buffer/Boost

£27.53

Clean buffer and Clean Boost Based on Wampler decibel + Buffer/Boost pedal. A pedal that offers excellent, stable buffering AND a fantastic clean boost, in one great, durable, easy-to-use ! With one single knob to accomplish everything, it trims the fat – we didn't want to make a booster that does too much to be considered just a booster, but not enough to be considered a legitimate light overdrive Plus, functionality like that tends to just run up the price. our goal was to make sure that this pedal can buffer with excellent fidelity, boost like nobody's business, yet be as easy to work with as possible. No unnecessary complications of either function, and no sacrifices when it comes to the core tone! It's a one-knob problem solver toolkit in pedal form. Just dial that one knob where you need it to go and you'll have the functionality you need right then – and if you ever need it to turn from buffer to boost, or boost to buffer, it's as simple as adjusting that one control.
