- The 29 Pedals EUNA is not a buffer, but it acts like a buffer. EUNA is THE answer to tone suck. I offer some audio samples in this review video. For more content like this, be sure to subscribe here: rb.gy/gje0iq
29 Pedals Official Video: • What Is EUNA?
29 Pedal Website: bit.ly/2RBoWz0
Since I'm very open in this 29 Pedals Euna review that I don't have the first clue how it works, I will just paste this info from the 29 Pedals website:
An input driver that replaces a conventional buffer, EUNA is built to protect and condition your instrument's signal to prepare it for whatever you want to do with it. Console grade build, three great sounding filters, and an alt-path insert loop for your classic fuzz and wah circuits that don't want to be buffered. Also features the 29 Pedals WHATEVER power supply, which accepts 7.5 to 35 volts of AC or DC in either polarity with no change in tone.
Even a few true-bypass pedals and 20' of cable can hang out your guitar's output and make it feel mushy and dark. Buffers can help, but they are often very simple circuits that create sonic issues of their own.
EUNA is an Elite UNity Amplifier. It is designed to protect and condition your guitar’s signal. Use it in place of an input buffer. Plug directly in, first in the chain. You can safely remove all other buffers after it if you wish. We recommend an output driver at the end of your chain. You can use a conventional buffer, or try our output amplifier OAMP. Plug your guitar directly into EUNA with the shortest cable that is convenient.
EUNA features an effects loop that activates when EUNA is OFF. It was designed for use with vintage or vintage-style fuzz pedals. The interaction between your guitar and your fuzz is disturbed by any buffering, so EUNA’s effects loop allows you to switch between a buffered input and guitar-direct-to-fuzz. You can also use the loop to remove your tuner’s buffer from the signal chain. Let us know what other uses you find for the loop! If nothing is plugged in to the loop, the pedal is true-bypass when switched off.
EUNA features 29 Pedals’ WHATEVER power supply. The WHATEVER power supply accepts 7.5 to 35 volts of AC or DC (either polarity) with absolutely no change in tone. It’s true!!
EUNA has three sweetening circuits - Harmonics, Bright and Low. Low adds a little bit of low end. Not too much, just a little bit for some sweet oomf or to make up for low-end loss in your pedal chain. Bright adds some brightness, and Harmonics pushes the air band where guitar harmonics are. Harmonics adds sweet, tube-like chime to any rig.
EUNA preserves "touchyness" and "snap." There is also an increase in effective dynamic range of your signal, and in some cases coil noise is reduced! The custom-tailored load kicks the resonant peak of your pickups out typically about 5 or 10k compared to a load of a few true-bypass switches and reasonable cabling. The pickup’s top-end rolloff is smoother too. You'll feel more chime and less pinchy top-end.

It’s not the old “like taking a blanket off my amp” thing, it’s taking the blanket, the sheets and the mattress off your sound ... really impressed !
yeah, i hate spending your money, todd... but this thing changed my life.
@@DemosInTheDark Ryan it's just the way it is #acceptance
whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?! You have got to stop showing me things I cant unhear LOL
the truth hurts!
Great video example, thanks for sharing this. I just snagged one of these. I’m excited to hear what results come!
Wow, this is really impressive. I came from Mark Johnston's videos as he's a big user of the Euna also. I think together the two of you just sold me.
very cool! mark does great work!
Great demo, it's clearly a beautiful sounding, brilliantly engineered pedal. However, I would have liked to hear it with some different kinds of dirt pedals, reverb types and delay lengths. Most of the time I'm only using a Tube Screamer type drive with some plate reverb or a slapback delay. Thanks for introducing us to this magical machine!
just a taste, man. can't hit everyone's pedalboards.
@@DemosInTheDark true true, i'll still probably buy one!!
i think you'll be impressed with it no matter where it's going. it's a solid investment.
have to say, you are an incredibly pleasant person even in the comments. i hope you and your channel keep growing together, peace and love!!
@@Claviceptic hey thanks! i really enjoy geeking out with everyone. otherwise, i talk to my wife about this stuff and she's not terribly interested. haha
It's your fault. I went and bought one. I fought it for about 2 weeks. Ordered it tonight. Can't wait. Great channel and playing man. I trust you.
DUUUDE! you're gonna be so glad! i wouldn't steer ya wrong!
I think we're looking at a pedal that is destined to become a legend. Very impressive.
🙌🙌🙌
To me, it sounds like this pedal adds high end and a bit of boost to the signal. The company says it does not add anything, but simply "restores" the high end that got lost in your pedalboard. If that is what it does, I would argue that "lost" high end can also be restored by carefully adjusting the EQ of your amplifier and other pedals in your chain.
Literally reach to your amp and turn the treble up lmao
I'll admit, I was a little skeptical at first, but the difference is obvious and immediate. Even over RUclips, the EUNA makes the sound so much BIGGER...
you and me both. i went into it thinking i’d prove it to be hipster snake oil, but it is the real freaking deal.
You need to put a red pill/blue pill warning on this video. 😳
Great video!! I have a question,, and I'm in no way dismissing the use of the euna, but I was wondering what's the difference between using a euna pedal compared to sticking an eq pedal at the end to bump up the high frequencies?
That's some nice EunaVibe ;)
DUDE! nailed it.
Impressive.
I have the JHS Colour Box. I would love to hear them side by side.
By the way, I also have the Fairfield Circuitry The Accountant Compressor pedal. I was lucky enough to find it cheaper for sale used. It's awesome. I like that it's a mini enclosure because I don't use compressors very often. It is a bit noisy in some of the settings, but I found a couple of pretty quiet combinations. I love how it can get the dirty-boosted textures as well.
yeah, i'm one of those weirdos who kinda likes noisy comps. hahaha!
@@DemosInTheDark Now you're off your rocker and have gone over the deep end... weirdo
it's art! it's arrrrrrrrt! 😭😭😭
I dunno...I love what it did with the delay and reverb, but still sorting out how I feel about the drive sounds with the Euna engaged...
alright. there's a solution for that - fx loop.
Maybe put your drive pedals in the loop of the EUNA. When EUNA’s on you have your clean tone. Turn EUNA off and this engages your drive chain without the EUNA circuit!
Sounds like a boost with an eq!
The way your board is wired and the single coil guitar you‘re using showing the absolute best the Euna can do. You‘d actually need to use a Pedal loop switcher to eliminate all the pedals cirrently not in use out of the path.
This + euna would be king
DUDE! You're killing me kid!! Hahaha, love it.
PS-Question is before compressor or after? Definitely after wah and I'd put my fuzz in the loop but usually I'd put the comp before most fuzzes.
compressor is after, but if you run a comp and fuzz at the same time, you’d want it either in the loop with your fuzz or before the EUNA... i think. 99.9% confident.
@@DemosInTheDark Nice, makes sense. Thanks bud.
So, would a good parametric EQ with boost not accomplish the same thing? I’m thinking Wampler EQuator or Empress ParaEQ.
I was thinking the same thing. An EQ as the last pedal on your pedalboard before going into the amplifier.
I'm sure the circuit topology is totally different, but the resulting effect is exactly what I get from my always on Greer Lightspeed.
interesting!
I was thinking the same thing. This is how my Jan Ray works but it can do so much more.
Having both I can tell you, while a RUclips video can lead you to believe that, it’s far from the truth. Light speed and the Jan Ray are a layer that can make others sound different, but in no way have the same effect. This and “I don’t run many pedals so I don’t need one” I hear all the time.. you need to play one is all I can say
@@robf8023 I'm very intrigued, but it would be nice to be able to try one without buying one.
It’s a night and day difference! Sounds great. 👍🏻
exactly!
Created a loud hum. Is that the 60 cycle hum getting louder since it increases the guitar signal?
I wouldn't even say its ACTING like a buffer. Its making a dramatic change in the EQ of the signal and removing a significant amount of bass while adding a slight amount of gain. Sounds killer for tightening things up and pushing a bit more brightness.
yeah, i dunno, man. seems to do a bunch of stuff. you know electronic stuff, check out the website or his video i linked to. you’ll probs know what it’s doing!
Hi! I can assure you that under no circumstances is bass being removed. EUNA is flat (with the filters out) down to 10Hz even under a 600 Ohm load! With filters out, what you are hearing is high-end that had been lost. Filters in though, you can add both lows & highs.
Best piece of gear I've bought all year!
totally. 👍
Nice, that dirty pedalboard and your clean playing sold me...now I’m waiting on this in addition to a Champ Leccy Woozy thanks (or curses) to you. This new-fangled “advertising as entertainment” method def has my number.
The before and after is shocking, however it does sound the same as adjusting the EQ knobs on your amp, like literally the same. The feel might be different though, that's impossible to judge on a video though. Still on the fence with this one.
Wonder if an mxr 10 band up front might approximate what the euna is doing
On its own its great, but I think your pedals sounded better when the 29 wasn't activated. 29 also seems to amplify the background buzz of the Benson.
Edit: I think my issue with it is the 29 sounds like it kills a lot of the warmth of these other tones
I have a benson preamp and don’t get where people get noise from. I’ve run fuzzes into it, overdrives, etc., and never have an issue with it. I just can’t understand how this is different than a buffer. It seems to do the same thing, so what’s the hype about?
he's put it at the start of his chain, but 29 Euna was designed to go at the end of the chain. lol. moron. ruclips.net/video/gJIKZTwhMok/видео.html
@@painstruck01 cry harder
3 years later... is it still on your board :) ?
Ok...As long as I tell myself this is the last pedal purchase I can justify it 😁
it’s like getting an entirely new pedalboard!
Yep. I'm getting one. I'm too much of a tone ho to let this get by
you’re doing the right thing, jason.
@@DemosInTheDark well I've now bought 3 pedals after watching your demos and I've been happy with every one of them 👍
what!? that’s awesome!
Do you still have it on your pedalboard now in 2022? Thanks!
First off, love your videos and thanks for making them! Second, is this still on your board?! I already use a jhs clover as a first in chain buffer/eq/sometimes light gain and and debating adding this. Any thoughts?! Thanks again!
still on my board! can't seem to get rid of it! it's one of those units that you don't notice it's there, but sure as heck notice the second you take it away!
Still don’t know what is does? More signal and high end, generally is perceived as clarity. Without being present in the room hard to know what it’s really doing?
So you can’t play a fuzz without the una and an overdrive and a delay with the una at the same time …
Are you placing this at the very beginning before you’re Accountant Compressor? I was looking at the CAE/MXR Line Driver recently for the same reason as this pedal. Very good sounding by the way!
yes sir! first thing!
My Boss CP-1X gives a similar result. I'll check this out
i think someone else mentioned that too. i haven't tried one of those, but i'm curious now!
@@DemosInTheDark it's awesome mate. There be magic in that there compressor!
Great pedal! Just ordered one. What patch cables are you using on this board, through? Never seen any like that
awesome! you’ll dig it a lot! those are disaster area evo plugs
This sounds really great! Still confused on the whole buffer/not a buffer thing but I like the sounds. It reminds me of the whole guitar nerds “make gooderer” thing with having a colored boost at unity gain at the front of the chain. Honest question though why bother with the loop and not just stick the fuzz face first and this second?
good question. according to 29 Pedals, you can absolutely do that, but the signal on the loop travels a much shorter distance making it sound marginally better. he freely admits that it might not be a LOT better, but a little better.
being totally honest, i've moved it around different places all over my board and, if you have it ANYWHERE it will be an improvement.
Demos In The Dark thanks!
Thanks Dylan! If using the loop for fuzz doesn't interest you, you can also use it to get a buffered tuner out of your signal path. Those buffers tend to be low-headroom and high noise. They'll also affect your ability to drive a load, costing you some low-end.
29 Pedals hey thanks for responding! It’s nice to hear builder’s thoughts on their products
Reminds me of solodallas pedal that Angus used
oh yeah! totally!
I just ordered one. I love sparkle and chime in my clean sound (jbl d120f / celestion alnicos are my friends). I wonder if this will interact well with the Saturn V harmonic booster I use, or will it replace it? Very excited.
dude, yes! lemme know!
i would like to see this A/B’d with a buffer/boost like the super clean or prestige
ps i bought one :)
How did it compare to a regular buffer/ changing the eq on your amp?
maximizer? eq w/ gain?
Those highs are kinda harsh though ...
If my bathroom looked and sounded that good I would be happy for anyone to come and pee.
Very nice indeed
does the trick, eh?! 😎
That it does. Too bad I’m no longer buying pedals..lol
yeah? tell me more!
I’m *trying* to save money for either a Suhr T style or a Yamaha sa-2200 (335 style guitar)..not easy to save money these days..I had a pedal buying spree going for a couple of years..it’s been a while since I bought one 🙂
new guitars are the best! i’ve certainly been in that position, myself!
You're right. It just...sounds better!
easiest demo i’ve ever done. 😂
I get a similar result with the mooer bluesbreaker used as a boost 💁♂️🙆♂️🤷♂️
hey, whatever gets ya there!
@@DemosInTheDark ahahaha
Sounds great - just wonder if a good eq or a quality clean boost in that spot would work as well? Of course I am not in the room, hard to judge on youtube. Also not a small box.
Ryan - Is it better to use EUNA, or OAMP - or both? Or either, but never both.
ok, so jesse says you can use both. i see that as overkill. hahaha. i think a lot of it depends on what you're trying to achieve. if you're looking for very articulate sounds and have the time and energy to dedicate to building up exactly what you want in the loop, maybe clean or slightly dirty with a lot of time based effects, i'd do EUNA. if you are a rock guy who wants to make up for some of that lost signal and connect to your amp better, the OAMP.
(between you, me, and the internet, i have an OAMP on my board)
@@DemosInTheDark Nice, thank-you. Sounds like I would go same way you have - w the OAMP. Thx.
So around 2:19, you could say: “I don’t know much/But I know I love you-oo-oo”
and that would be... all i need to know
Sounds killer! Thanks for sharing... I always appreciate your videos. The video production, attention to details, song arrangements, not to mention your playing and tone! All exceptional!
thanks, ryan!!!
Sounds like a basic treble boost to me...
seriously?
Yeah it has a similar impact to your sound that my treble boost gives. It sounds good, dont take this the wrong way, you were just wondering how to categorize it and im slipping a suggestion. Maybe i am not getting the full picture from your demo, maybe with my setup it would have a different effect.
What does it do on max volume? Louder cleans or slight crunch?
hmm. it certainly raises some harmonics and some upper frequencies, but it's actually lifting all of it, not just highs. it might help to listen on studio monitors or headphones, which i hate saying, but you can kind of get a better grasp of what it's doing. there is no full volume. it's a signal conditioner.
upon further thought, i can understand your perspective. a treble booster adds upper harmonics. what the EUNA does is reveal the upper harmonics that were already there before cables and pedals and stuff. a treble booster was initially designed to solve a problem. old marshall and vox amps got darker as you turned them up and with the advent of loud guitar bands, everyone was turning up. so the treble booster would chop off some low end and add some upper mids plus some grit with the single transistor. you could argue that the more cable and pedals you are running through, the darker your signal gets, so the EUNA is, basically, a solution to a similar problem. and with that, i apologize for my shock of my initial response.
damn it.. thanks.. ugh now I am ordering this stupid thing..
I can resist many things but witchcraft I cannot, it sounds great, looks great, why would I not order one. Veri-Tone Mr Heath turned up today, it has me smiling as I'm sure will this.
if disney taught us anything, it’s that sorcery is hard to resist. also, mr heath!!! yesss!
I can't go without mine.
you knew before me!
is this an 'always on' pedal?
It’s like a clarifier. I dig it.
i like that! where were you when i was filming?! 😂
Now I’m looking for one.
So question. If it makes everything sound better, why would you ever turn it off? I have one being delivered today BTW.
AHHA! because, turning it off engages the fx loop for your fuzzes or tuner. if you don't use the fx loop, you shouldn't ever have to! also, get excited. it rules.
@@DemosInTheDark So if I have a fuzz run through the fx loop of it, I have to turn it off before I turn my fuzz on?
nah, just leave your fuzz on. use the EUNA to take it in and out of your signal. i did it in the video. it’s near the end.
Will it bring out the highs? I’d rather avoid that as my old strat has a slight icepick from the pups. Strangely I preferred the sound with all the dipswitches down in the Euna.
that’s how i use it in my set up as well!
Wow. 🤓
right?!
So it does more than a switcher then?
oh yeah. it brings your instrument level up to where it was meant to be. erases the dreaded “tone suck”!
What the frick man. Question: if you already have buffers in some of your pedals will the difference from this guy be as dramatic?
yeah... yeah it will. hahaha
Alternate solution: Just have some Boss pedals in the mix 😅
What's funny (not really funny) to me is the number of RUclips guitarists I've watched who prefer and deliberately go for the tone you have there with the conditioner turned off.
yeah, i mean, that’s a sound and i’m not going to judge taste. early on, i had a lot of complaints that i prefer telecaster because i like the added presence. eventually, i think those people just decided to go to other demoers who also prefer darker sounds. for what my ears want to hear, the euna solves a big problem.
Yeah? No... YEAH OF COURSE!! 😂
RIGHT? ok. cool.
Waaat da fuuuuk. Ryan take a rest my wallet needs a break.
best. comment. ever.
Not really impressed.
