Failed Buffered Out Attempt
I tried doing a two in one enclosure (1590BB) with a Multi Cab Sim and JHS Little Black Buffer, with the Buffer being wired from the Output of the Cab Sim and then to the pedal’s Main Output using a 3PDT 2-way toggle switch.
I wired the Buffer same as the Madbean 3PDT wiring diagram for the switch, but I kept getting a loud “pop” whenever I engaged the pedal and excess noise. I’m pretty sure I grounded everything correctly, but that may have been the issue at some point leading to excess noise.
I tried removing the LED from the Buffer’s circuit in case the LED engaging was the cause of the pop, that didn’t work. I tried both circuits independently and they both functioned correctly, however the buffer normally “popped” whenever first engaged.
Some suggested putting a “pulldown resistor” between the output and ground or adding a resistor to the output lead. The value suggested ranged from 1M to 2.2M, then one suggested 10M for some reason.
I can’t find the post/link where someone said putting random pulldown resistors isn’t a solution.
The solution I ended up going with was removing the Buffer from the enclosure and boxing it as a single pedal for the Multi Cab Sim. The circuit’s EQ is pretty nice, I’ll probably use it in conjunction with my Joyo American Sound when recording direct into my interface/DAW.
