From the Saturnworks website:
With the rise in popularity of true bypass pedals, buffers sometimes get a bad name. Some players have come to associate buffers with tone loss. However, without at least one buffer in your signal path, you may be actually losing tone, particularly your high-end.
Standard guitar signals from passive pickups are quite weak (high impedance). As weak guitar signals travel through yards of wire, switches, jacks, pots, and other components, they can start to degrade. This signal degradation is most often experienced by a loss of high-end frequencies. As your pedalboard gets larger, and/or you are far away from your amp, your guitar can sound duller.
A buffer makes your signal ‘stronger’ (lower impedance) but not louder (unity gain) by converting it into a low impedance signal. A low impedance signal is less subject to degradation.
Our standard (IC) buffer has an input impedance of 1M and an output impedance of <100 ohms. Our transistor buffer has an input impedance of 1M and an output impedance of around 400 ohms.
