Magic Buffer Booster Box

The little box of magic you probably didn't know you needed.

It has a similar topology as a Super Hard-On™, but offers a bit more without the annoying crackle.

Simple, single control. First quarter turn and you're in buffer mode, giving a little sparkle to your chain. Next half a turn is clean boost which is nicely transparent. The last quarter turn is going to kick your tube amp in the ass, giving sweet overdrive.

Our recommendation - run two!

Kit is available with a standard sized 1590B enclosure with battery, or a mini 1590A (36 x 90mm) enclosure with DC power only, though be aware that you'll be wiring in a very confined space.

If you want the PCB without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page.

Partial kit: PCB, all board-mounted components, pots.

Full kit: As above, plus footswitch and appropriate daughterboard/components for your selected bypass type (see Downloads section for details of those), jack sockets, DC socket, battery snap, hook-up wire, LED.

Enclosure (pre-drilled) is available as an option with full kits, and can take a battery if desired with footswitch positioned 22mm higher, closer to the controls, in a 1590B. 1590A will not take a battery. Knobs are not included.

Builds are only available with full kits including enclosure. Please choose appropriate knobs.
