FAQ > Redeemer > Isn't the Redeemer basically a very high quality buffer? I like the sound I get with a particular cable load that is setting-up resonance on my passive pick-ups; wouldn’t adding a buffer negate this?

You are into advanced stuff… if you are into DIY customization you’ll love this. You can actually establish a resonance where you want by adding a capacitor before the Redeemer. You would be creating a "simulation" of that cable you like.   For example, a typical guitar cord might have 33pf per foot - therefore a 330pf cap across the input of the Redeemer would simulate adding a 10ft cable. From the pick-up's point of view, it would load them a bit, set up that resonance, make them a little warmer, etc...  However, coming out from the Redeemer and going to the rest of the world you can now drive any old cable or input without worrying about how it will affect the sound.   The cap in front of the Redeemer would also help a little to suppress noise that might be picked-up inside the guitar.   The low Z output of the Redeemer also helps to reduce noise that might be picked-up by the cable run.
