Product Usage Instructions

Input and Output Connections:
Connect your instrument or audio source to the input of the Minimal Series Silver Para Bass Buffer. Connect the output of the buffer to your amplifier or recording device.

Adjusting Input Impedance:
Use the control labeled “Z” to adjust the input impedance according to your setup or preference. Rotate the knob to increase or decrease the impedance as needed.

Powering the Device:
This device operates on a current consumption of 3.5mA. Ensure you have the appropriate power source available to power the buffer.

Mounting and Placement:
Place the buffer in a secure location near your instrument setup for easy access. Avoid placing it in areas where it may be subject to physical damage or extreme temperatures.

Maintenance:
Regularly inspect the device for any signs of damage or wear.
Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: Can I use the Minimal Series Silver Para Bass Buffer with active pickups?
A: Yes, the buffer is compatible with both passive and active pickups.
Q: What is the purpose of adjusting the input impedance?
A: Adjusting the input impedance allows you to match the buffer with different types of instruments or audio sources for optimal performance.
Q: Is it necessary to power the buffer using a specific type of power supply?
A: It is recommended to use a stable power supply that meets the current consumption requirements of the buffer for consistent performance.

The Minimal Series Silver Para Bass Buffer is powered by a standard center- minus DC9V adapter. Batteries cannot be used.

One Control has used the classic BJF Buffer Circuit on several of our devices as a high-quality buffer that can be used for all guitars and basses and it has been used faithfully by many players.
There is no doubt that the BJF Buffer is a great buffer, but it was originally designed with an electric guitar in mind.
The Minimal Series Silver Para Bass Buffer is a buffer specifically for electric bass guitar newly developed by BJF. For the bass, it is the “best” buffer that exceeds the “excellent” BJF Buffer so far and has been optimized for the low end.
The Silver Para Bass Buffer has a knob called “Z”. Z simply stands for impedance. This is to adjust the input impedance and can be adjusted to the base-specific impedance such as passive bass and active bass, as well as a control knob to fine-tune the low-end response. With the Z knob, the input impedance can be operated in the range of 50K to 390KΩ.
The effect of the Z-knob depends on the impedance of the instrument you connect to. Sometimes you can adjust the low end quite a bit, but if you have another buffered effect in your chain, it may be more subtle.
The output impedance is set to 2kΩ.

For flexibility the Silver Para Bass Buffer has two outputs.
The two outputs are split out, and you can output to two routes that are particularly used with bass guitar, such as to the bass amplifier and DI direct to house sound system.
Silver Para Bass Buffer is a bass buffer designed for the bass to give you more control over both your stage and house sound or to give you more flexibility with recording in the studio, all with the clean powerful sound of the BJF Buffer and the rock-solid construction from One Control.
