Tube buffer for electronic keyboards used in a band?

Destroyer OS. · 19th October 2008, 11:19 PM

Is there any kind of kit out there? A friend of mine has a few keyboards but keeps the volume a little bit low in my opinion, but they are too overpowering harsh to really turn up as well. I am thinking a tube buffer that can be used after all the pedals and stuff, right before the pre-amp/amp would really make it pleasant.

You could try something like the Groove Tubes brick those seem to sound really nice and they don't cost a lot. They will give you a balanced XLR output too.

I think PAiA makes a kit like that.

Strange... They seem to have a preamp model KENP,
Absolutely nothing to do with me that I know of... ???

They'll probably sue me now to change my name or something...
