The Armor Buffer is a buffer pedal from Dr. J Pedals. A buffer sits on a pedalboard to preserve the guitar's signal, and the Armor Buffer is Dr. J Pedals' take on that job. It was featured on Pedal of the Day on 22 August 2015, where guest reviewer Kyle Ragan reviewed it and posted a video demo.1

What it does

A buffer's purpose on a pedalboard is to drive the signal through long cable runs and chains of pedals, which is where players usually reach for one. The Armor Buffer fills that role as a dedicated buffer unit rather than a buffer built into another pedal.1

Pedal of the Day introduced it as a featured pedal with a favorable review, writing: "We've got another great review from our buddy Kyle Ragan for you today: the Armor Buffer from Dr. J Pedals."1

If you are comparing dedicated buffers, other units in the same category include the Empress Effects Buffer, the TC Electronic Bonafide Buffer, the JHS Pedals Little Black Buffer and the Analog Man Buffer.
