    How do you know when a buffer is working?

    All your EQ settings are now too bright.
    I presume you've done A/B testing. I would imagine "chalk and cheese" comes to mind .

    I was bowled over by the difference when I was running my Boost 'n' Buff. A real eye opener.

    A/B testing (direct to amp vs through bypassed pedals) is why I built the buffer. But my amp EQ was set for the pedal board and now I am rolling guitar tone back 50%.

    Do you reckon your new compressor is adding to that difference?
    I know mine adds "sparkle" FLOABW, but it also 3 adjustable parameters Comp, EQ, Volume. (just like the original Diamond)

    It's not the compressor. Too bright with it off. In fact, the compressor warms things up a bit, feels like it is squashing a little too much. I will have to pull out the multimeter to adjust some more. I might try the voltage setting your Greek pedal builder uses.
