Greetings, fellow nerds! I have a Silencer and I only use it to split the signal in my pedalboard.
I know that The Silencer has a buffered bypass mode. What I wanted to understand is, as the title says, is both the ‘SEND’ and ‘OUTPUT’ sending a buffered signal or only the ‘SEND’ is buffered? The manual says:
FOOTSWITCH and LED – The Footswitch selects whether The Silencer is
engaged or in buffered bypass mode. When the gate is engaged, the LED is lit.
The effects loop remains in your signal path while The Silencer is bypassed.
...
OUTPUT Jack – The OUTPUT jack is The Silencer’s main audio output. The
gated signal exits through the OUTPUT jack. The output impedance is 300.
SEND Jack – Connect the SEND jack to the beginning of your effects loop. The
output impedance is 300. The SEND jack outputs a buffered version of the
signal present at the INPUT jack at all times. If you do not need to use the
Silencer’s effects loop, the SEND jack could also be used to split the input signal.
This is so that I know where to put my fuzz pedal, to avoid it being messed up by a buffer before it.
Cheers!
Valter, Its buffered, SO put your fuzz in front if you don’t want it to see a buffered signal.
ALSO not all fuzz circuits are temperamental to a buffered signal. Listen and see if it sounds and feels different with a buffered signal.
Thank you!
