GLZ-1 & BV-1 Signal
Buffers $110 / $99
The GLZ is Barge
Concepts
all-in-one signal buffering/ clean boosting/ impedance matching
solution, built in to a rugged, compact enclosure. Inspired by the buffer and boost
stages of the VFB-2 and DB-3, as well as client requests, the GLZ is a
low noise, true bypass, opamp-based signal buffer, with 0-15 dB clean
boost (Gain control), buffered volume control (Level control), and
variable
impedance control (Z control). Also available is the BV-1; a
simplified implementation of the GLZ, for those that just need a signal
buffer and volume control.Application Suggestions:As a Clean Boost: Based
on the boost stages of the Barge Concepts DB-3, the GLZ can provide 0 -
15 dB of clean gain. Use it to drive your pedals and amp into
distortion, to boost the output of low output vintage wound pickups. or
to match output levels when switching between humbucking and single
coil instruments.As a Volume control:
Based on the topology of the Barge Concepts DB-3, the GLZ and BV volume
circuit is designed to provide variable level control without altering
the impedance or frequency response of your output signal.
Use the GLZ or BV as a foot-switchable volume control to lower the
ouput of your pickups, or use it as a fully buffered master volume
control in the effects loop of your favorite amp.As a Signal Buffer: The GZL-1 and
BV-1 use very low noise, audio grade Burr-Brown non-inverting buffers
to insure transparent sound across the entire audible
spectrum. With all signals buffered, you have a lower
impedance signal driving the devices after the GLZor BV, as well as
high impedance inputs to insure that a clear signal passes to the
output.As a passive signal
emulator: The GLZs variable impedance control alters the
resistive output of the buffering stage, to make the output
signal appear more like a passive signal. This is
particularly useful for bassists and guitarists with active pickups
that want to send a 'passive-looking' signal to vintage effects that
may not respond well to buffers.GLZ-1 & BV-1 Features:
