Using a fuzz pedal and passive pickups and want to prevent tone suck and ensure amazing tone, consistently? Or, wanting a buffered true-bypass effect loop switcher or tuner mute?

Then you need Flex Loop™

The Flex Loop™ design's "flex!" is that when using it with a fuzz pedal, and the loop is on, the buffer position is switched to after the loop, connecting the guitar directly to the fuzz pedal's input. And when the loop is off, the buffer position is switched back to before the loop, connecting guitar and the buffer input, directly. The result is amazing guitar and fuzz tones, consistently!

Using the loop with a non-fuzz pedal, or as a master pedalboard bypass, or as a tuner mute, the buffer's position is always before the loop, allowing it to serve strictly as a guitar input buffer.

The discrete Class-A buffer has an input impedance and other finely tuned characteristics which mimic that of tube amplifier inputs. It'll safeguard, strengthen, and prepare your guitar and fuzz signal for whatever follows on a pedalboard and in a rig.

The buffer presents the guitar and fuzz with a dynamic and ideal load that remains steadfast — resulting in consistent tone while still allowing the guitar and fuzz to breathe and feel, as if they're plugged directly into the front of a beloved tube amp.

The "Remote" version is in a low profile enclosure and can be mounted on or under any pedalboard. It's controlled via ¼" TS function switching jack, found on most MIDI switchers and MIDI controllers, and our Remote Foot-Switch.
