Just ordered an LS Effects Tone Messiah Buffer.

Well, I drank the buffer kool-aid and finally ordered a buffer. I was gonna order a T1M or JHS little black box, but this one by LS Effects seemed interesting and I haven't seen much TGP talk about LS Effects, so I thought i'd be a TGP guinea pig.

Here's the link: http://www.lseffects.com/--tone-messiah.html

Looked cool and it seems to be well made at a good price. Anyone else have one?

 

Yeah, most of the technical jargon is lost on me, I was just going on the fact that I've heard good things about JFET buffers and that it's hand-wired, etc. His description I guess I would chalk up to a builder trying to make his build sound better than the rest of the market, i think everyone does that to an extent.

 

Well, I just got it and plugged it up.

Solid build, enclosure is kinda cool, a little different than your average small pedal enclosure.

All I have to say about the effect on my tone is....holy crap, what have I been doing? I didn't realize how much clarity and bite I was missing until I A/B'ed it with vs. without. It brings me that clarity and high end that I've been missing and trying to EQ in my amp, little did I realize that a simple buffer could be the answer to my problems.

I don't honestly know if "just any buffer" would have done the trick, but this buffer is going to be on my board for the foreseeable future. Definitely worth the $60 bucks, I highly recommend the Tone Messiah.
