Radial Twin-City

[MrFalc0n]

I'm planning on buying a buffer for the front of my effects chain pretty soon. One requirement that I have for it is a second output to take my Polytune out of the chain. I want this mainly so I can leave the tuner on all the time.

My question is this: Would the Radial Twin-City be good for this application?

I'd appreciate it if anyone knows. I'm also curious about the sound quality of the Radial buffer. I really like the concept of a drag dial to avoid overly brittle tone.

I guess this is more of a question of how good the Radial buffer is and whether or not the signal split would cause tone loss in any way.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a different buffer with two outputs?

[MrFalc0n]

Bump.

Bump, more than a month later. Anyone have any opinions now? I'm gonna sell the Polytune soon for a Turbo Tuner, but I still want it out of the chain.

Yeah, what you want to do with it is fine. I use a Twin Cities ABY but for the actual purpose of running 2 amps. The great thing about the buffer in this pedal is the DRAG control tied to the pedal. If you hook up the pedal and find that it's killing your tone, you can adjust the DRAG to get it to sound as close to plugging straight into your amp (or whatever your tone was before the pedal) as possible. I wouldn't say it's 100% natural, but it's nice that it at least provides that option. Great pedal -- never leaving my board, so long as I get to have a board .

Awesome. What do you mean by "I wouldn't say it's 100% natural..."?
