I do think these pedals sound beautiful. The simplicity is also fantastic. However, I think the buffer and added control in a Boss GE-7 makes it a superior pedal. I know it’s not as boutique, but it’s such an underrated pedal that should be on everyone’s board.
@@Lamarro it’s an always-on, especially with long cable runs, so that might explain why he didn’t touch it 😊. The tone preservation definitely imparts a bit of a hi-fi sheen (bit like PRS pickups, which might explain John Mayer’s appreciation of both).
I have a board with 8 pedals, and then a separate smaller board with a treble booster, fuzz face, and a tone bender each in a switcher, the switcher is in the EUNA effects loop. This has been a great solution for my setup when I want to employ the fuzz board. It truly does make a difference.
My wife bought me the Oamp for Xmas! I put it at the end of my chain after a fuzz & OD into my Badger 18 and I'm pretty impressed! Everything sounds fuller and lively. Using the high input also provides some great gain and when using it with my other pedals I got some fantastic drive tones. Definitely more than just a 'buffer'.
OK, that 29 FLWR truly is versatile! It’s a lot of many, but it does offer you a wide range of sounds that are uncommon for a single overdrive pedal. I might consider that one!
I can't believe how expensive these pedals are for what may be inside them. EG, the buffer could be just an emitter-follower or an op-amp which could be put together for a couple of quid (including the case/hardware etc). The switches are switching in capacitors/resistors - either of which are pence to buy. If these were £30 quid or so then that would be acceptable. I wouldn't spend £300 quid on one of these. Jeez - I could buy another guitar for that money.
I already build my own buffers. J113 JFET into a PNP. Drives a 50 foot cable. I even make a fancy preamp booster version with high and low cut. The effect loop for the buffer idea has been around a while, I even built some like that. No way I'd pay 300 bucks for such a thing either. 300 bucks buys fancy delays!
Are you new to pedals or something bud? This same thing can be said about any pedal- and 300 bucks is not really considered that expensive for a hand-built pedal. Most pedals- even the really high-end pedals- have less than 50 dollars' worth of components in them- and those components are very inexpensive transiters, capacitors, op-amps, etc. that anyone can source. But hey- if you think it's so easy and cheap- build your own. You certainly won't be alone, there are thousands of ppl who do it- all the necessary components are readily available. And if you can honestly make something this good- you can sell them for 300 bucks yourself.
Hi there, it sounds like you know a thing or two about making pedals. That's fantastic. But not everybody does. And like the guys said, it's just one guy that builds these pedals. So he is doing everything. Coming up with layouts, I know there is a lot out there, but still you have to find what you want and put it together. Then he is building these pedals. Probably gets the circuit board from China and then populates them and wires everything up and tests it. If he doesn't get the boards from somewhere he makes his own, very time consuming. The enclosures probably come pre drilled, labeled and powder coated. If not, he has to paint them and label them. Another time consuming step. AND after that he has to market all his products. Send them to youtubers, make videos etc. If you think about all that, I think 300 is fair for a handmade pedal. For a buffer? That's on somebody else to decide. The cool thing with anything handmade by the owner, a real person gets the money. Oh and nobody forces anybody to buy anything. Just my thoughts...
@@BaffodoroBern A real person? Who runs the large companies then - aliens? And when does a real person stop being a real person? Do you have a specific threshold to guide you in this thought process? Like, when they have more than 5 employees for example, or perhaps 10 or 20? Or is it when they go public? I'm confused.
@@markseymour8365 maybe the word real is confusing. Sorry for that. What I mean is that the person who runs the company, makes the pedals etc. gets the money directly. When you go to Wal-Mart or guitar center, you give your money to a real person but this money is not their money. Foremost it's the company's money and the employees get just a small percentage of that money. What I'm trying to say is, go to stores that are locally owned. Don't buy your bread at a supermarket, go to a bakery. At least that's what I'm trying to do. And pay cash. Hope that makes sense.
Mayer used one cause he played jerry garcia wolf guitsr that has a built in unity gain buffer for the onboard effects loop. Key part of the jerry sound
It's cable capacitance - combines with the pickup's inductance to affect treble resonance and rolloff. Optimum capacitance isn't necessarily "zero" cable - it's a matter of the pickup's inductance and personal taste. Usually, shorter will sound better though...
People are getting crazy about signal loss and buffers but should be reminded that the best tone of history (mostly late 60’s tone) where achieved with long coiled cable to reduce as much high end as possible without turning the treble of the amp down. That’s how thick, warm but full and balanced tone were achieved
It's not just cable length- it's also connections. Every connection is a potential source of signal loss, no matter how well designed every connection causes more impedance. Which can just be thought of as resistance- and each pedal requires 2 connections, input and output- meaning the more pedals, the more impedance. That said- I can run a 15-foot cable with 9 pedals and just barely hear a difference- it's super tiny. But- you can buy a simple buffer for like 17 bucks so- why not? Besides, it gives you a way to have a mounted, dedicated, input and output on your board that are not on a pedal- I like that.
About having a long pedal chain (say 8 or more) I think that in most cases, even if all pedals are true bypass when OFF, there will always be some pedal ON at any time and this makes the use of a buffer pointless since when a pedal is ON it is not "truely bypassed" and it's buffering the signal by processing it. Or am I wrong?
If you're super talented, have really expensive guitars, amps and pedals, these have a place on your board to get that ultimate tone. No necessary for us mere mortals
Genuine question... Why can't you just compensate by turning the volume and high knobs on your amp up a fraction? Isn't that kind of what they are for?
The thing that amazes me so much about Pete is that he comes across as a normal guy who absolutely loves guitar, not a superstar elitist who think's he's a gift to guitar. But then you see his credentials and listen to him play in these reviews where he effortly jumps from sound to sound and always plays licks inspired by so many artists and always gets the most out of whatever gear he has switched on... What a legend. I'm less and less #gayformayor and more and more #hornayforhonore. Don't ever let him leave Andertons please?
And he's gotten so good at being a presenter. Not to sound like a backhanded compliment, but when he started he was a little all over the place. Aside from guitar playing, it's a completely different skill (and more impressive to me) to be able to take feedback and keep what makes you great while trimming the parts that didn't work so well in this format.
Hey guys. Love the channel. Just wondering if you can do a 29Euna shootout vs other buffers. People are buying this pedal with zero comparisons to alternative options at more affordable prices. Hoping to get your take on the topic. Maybe the tone is worth the cash, I don’t know yet. Thanks guys. Keep on rocking 🤘🎸
Industry secret: it is not even a buffer. It is just a booster with handicapped controls. All those praises that "the signal achieves new levels of clarity and definition" correspond simply to the fact it gets louder.

Great stuff! That said, and I admit I'm not the most intelligent when it comes to this stuff, but I'd like a video explaining more in depth what makes these rather expensive pedals better than countless other buffers, EQs, etc. I'm all for paying extra for hand-made stuff (if I could afford it), but are there not significantly less expensive pedals that do this kind of thing? I really don't know for sure, which is why I'm asking. :)
I’ll help: there’s no difference. You pay for the hand-built boutique factor. Plenty of pedals that do the same for much less. To each their own, as always.
Here's the thing bud- all the guys who can't afford these are going to tell you there no different than any 20-dollar buffer- which you can get by the way. And all the guys who can afford them and have them- are going to tell you just the opposite. And here's the truth- they're both wrong. It's not as exclusive, special, or good as the guys who have them would have you believe- but it's also not as common and easily made as the nay-sayers want to claim. In reality the question you should be asking is "For a guy like myself, who isn't recording hit albums or having my tone scrutinized under a microscope by music critics- is this level of buffer/over drive/etc. really the best way to spend my money?" And imo the answer to that question is "no." Unless you're worried about that last tenth of a percent of perfect- then you don't need 300 dollar buffers. John Mayer on the other hand- does.
Another thing to consider is that a lot of pedals have a buffer built in. I like to make sure the beginning of my chain has a buffer(EHX attack decay for me, but I put wah/fuzz before) and the last pedal in my chain has a buffer(Boss Delay). Everything in between is true bypass. Another good option is to have your 1st pedal be a buffered tuner with the last pedal being a buffered clean boost. There are lots of great ideas.
The thing about "paying for more tone" is that it has diminishing returns. Higher priced pedals *can* sound better than their lower priced clones or counterparts, but you're paying more for smaller gains, and even then you're getting into pretty subjective territory. I played a EUNA before I bought one, and I can tell you that it's not just a buffer. I have standalone buffers from empress, analogman, and lehle; those are all trying to do something transparent and unheard. The EUNA is replacing the need for a buffer because it can drive long signal chains, but it's adding something else to the guitar sound too, specifically the high end frequencies. The pedal feels more like a "last coat of paint" rather than a necessary pedal. But it is this sort of hi-fi polish to your tone that I really do like. I will admit, I think the clean sounds are the more noticeably improved, the gain sounds you really mostly get the benefits of the buffered effect. I suspect using this in the studio I'll need to match it with mics and/or rooms that accentuate the high end and presence you're getting. IMO, the send/return loop is not very useful, in order to serve the stated purpose of using it with fuzz the footswitch should have added a loop before the buffer and not removed the buffer from the signal entirely.
@@lc2858 You can design an amp or pedal so that any fuzz or wah works great in the loop. My amp is designed that way- I can run any fuzz or wah pedal I want in my fx loop- works fine. It has to be first in the loop, I can't run it behind other pedals- but I can run it in the loop. That's because my amp has a parallel loop- not a series loop. I would imagine this pedal is made the same way. That said- who knows, maybe they found another way to make it work. In reality a wah or a fuzz simply wants to see a signal that's within a certain range- that's it. It has no means of knowing what's on the other end of that cable, it just needs a signal in the acceptable range- and there are many ways to make that happen even if it is in the loop.
I would like to hear Pete an Lee Play all the amps in that room , at the same time . Like a Joe Bonamassa style rig . Bet I could hear it in North London . 😂😂🤣
This is a nice video demonstrating these but these are really expensive buffers when you could just spend that money (and board space) on something else that acts as a buffer in itself. Like any modern Strymon for example can be set as buffered even when it's off.
I think what this video doesn't do is explain how this pedal is different from a normal buffer. I'm not knowledgable, so I can't explain it, nor can I claim it really makes it far superior, but there's supposed to be more to it than a buffer and various forms of boost, etc. The company's own videos explain it I think.
You can use what I use. The BBE Sonic Stomp pedal. It is simple mini pedal that not just puts the highs you lost back but if you want will enhance them without it sounding artificial. You can also boost the lows if you wish. $150.00 USD
This is a no brainer. These pedals are incredible. They're simple and a perfect utility tool. I want one. Well done Andertons. Taste is your game. Go 29!
I’m all for the Strymon’s and Meris pedals in the world but these other “boutique” pedals and their pricing is getting out of hand now. This unfortunately is way too expensive for what it does
LOL_ Dude, that was hilarious- cold man, cold. You know someone with that pedal on their board is reading this turning like deep shades of red and purple right? They'll chime in eventually- watch.
OMG! From what i assumed was gonna be the most boring pedal going, it ended up being quitd the opposite. For someone like me who suffers from the effects of once working in a small specialist hi-fi store and developing audiophile analism (..erm). these pedals are now essential. Frankly chaps youve just ruined my ability to hear my guitar as anything other than a woolen stringed instrument!! Aaaarrgh!!Damn you!! 😤🙉
Hey you Brexi's, Johnny mayer is not quite the poster boy for anyone since Jessica Simpson was in her thirties, he petered out around 2014 ,he's a hack, as talented as he was all good things etc etc etcetera
i love expensive gear. love boutique amp and pedal builders. but for me, just no. overpriced, overhyped and better examples of each on the market already. i understand some will LOVE them and rightfully so. but not for me thankyou. they look very cool though.
thats why they added how many different things the pedal does in the thumbnail. They prolly reach more people if they advertise it as John used it than advertising it to everyone who hasnt.
19:54 Why is it "obscene," "disgusting," and "immoral" for people to spend THEIR money any way THEY want? The billions of dollars that are spent on musical gear could feed thousands of people, too, but you don't have a problem with that.
LOL- It was a joke man, calm down. He runs a store that sells this stuff- I'm pretty sure he doesn't really see the ppl who buy it as disgusting or immoral. He's just picking at the ppl he knows are going to show up in the comments to say as much. If you want to get all pissy and upset- do it at them. It's still a waste of time but at least it's aimed at the right ppl.
A very high quality buffer. I do own a JHS buffer that does some good things. Do you think that 1. A Buffer is worth it but 2. A high quality buffer is not worth that much?
"I don't think it matters whether it goes at the start or the beginning"
True. True. 😂

me after spending $3500 on my current board and saying I'm done now for a while: click on this video: no fuck off!!
I’m all for the Strymon’s and Meris pedals in the world but these other “boutique” pedals and their pricing is getting out of hand now. This unfortunately is way too expensive for what it does
This reminds me of the bbe sonic maximizer and that's not a good thing
LOL_ Dude, that was hilarious- cold man, cold. You know someone with that pedal on their board is reading this turning like deep shades of red and purple right? They'll chime in eventually- watch.
I'm on it within seconds
you animal!
whao 👀
29 pedals ? I only count 3
👍👍👍👍👍
OMG! From what i assumed was gonna be the most boring pedal going, it ended up being quitd the opposite. For someone like me who suffers from the effects of once working in a small specialist hi-fi store and developing audiophile analism (..erm). these pedals are now essential. Frankly chaps youve just ruined my ability to hear my guitar as anything other than a woolen stringed instrument!! Aaaarrgh!!Damn you!! 😤🙉
A John Mayer used one.
A perfectly fine tc buffer costs 70 bucks. Just saying.
Hey you Brexi's, Johnny mayer is not quite the poster boy for anyone since Jessica Simpson was in her thirties, he petered out around 2014 ,he's a hack, as talented as he was all good things etc etc etcetera
i love expensive gear. love boutique amp and pedal builders. but for me, just no. overpriced, overhyped and better examples of each on the market already. i understand some will LOVE them and rightfully so. but not for me thankyou. they look very cool though.
Just use a polytune tuner by TC which has a great buffer. Guitarists love all this minimal difference expensive junk 😅
Correct lol
Who else got dinner and a drink ready and was preparing to watch a demo of 29 different pedals?
I'd love to hear them on a solid state amp and single coils like a Strat or Tele.
second
first loser 🙃
John Mayer.....the poser
You guys are awesome! Thanks for all the great videos! P.S. Pete, you’re my inspiration, man! Check you insta messages!
I am the first
@@rexrathtar3893 ohhhhhh you're hard
John Mayer may be great but he still sounds like elevator music too me ..
John Mayer played one isn't really a selling point for people who've never even listened to his work.
thats why they added how many different things the pedal does in the thumbnail. They prolly reach more people if they advertise it as John used it than advertising it to everyone who hasnt.
Yet it seems it got you to click and comment on the video. Job done
Well-they can get over it- all 10-15 of them.
Ah but tone is all in the fingers (it’s not) so people should stop buying guitar gear in order to sound like someone else.
remember back when pedal reviews were not reaction videos? do some homework before reviewing something for god's sake.
19:54 Why is it "obscene," "disgusting," and "immoral" for people to spend THEIR money any way THEY want? The billions of dollars that are spent on musical gear could feed thousands of people, too, but you don't have a problem with that.
LOL- It was a joke man, calm down. He runs a store that sells this stuff- I'm pretty sure he doesn't really see the ppl who buy it as disgusting or immoral. He's just picking at the ppl he knows are going to show up in the comments to say as much. If you want to get all pissy and upset- do it at them. It's still a waste of time but at least it's aimed at the right ppl.
This is a simplified equalizer pedal, absolutely nothing special!
Ugly pedals!!
Yep, they aint winning no beauty contests.
👎👎
Great sounds, but sound expensive.
LMFAO. Absolute snake oil.
£300 for a buffer?? GTF
A very high quality buffer. I do own a JHS buffer that does some good things. Do you think that 1. A Buffer is worth it but 2. A high quality buffer is not worth that much?
