Can someone make me a Cornish LD-1 buffer clone

[Signal Path]

Hi, I'm looking for someone who can build me a Pete Cornish LD-1 buffer
Many thanks,
Steve

Do you have a circuit schematic for it?

[paul_5]

I could do you one on veroboard

[Chienmortbb]

It is a Class A high impedance / low impedance buffer. Priced at just short of £200.

The real question is why you would need one?

Like a d.I. box then?

If you've got lots of effects in your signal chain and they're all true bypass.

[Chienmortbb]

So what you are saying is that true bypass is not the holy grail many think it is?

If so any simple buffer would do. At far less than£200.

I don't think it has a balanced output like a real di would have ?
But if building it diy it could be incorporated without too much bother.

Not sure if this is the model you're looking for: http://mklec.com/project-kits/guitar-effects-kits/fairy-dust-buffer-pcb-diy-kit

You beat me to it Charlie, stared writing this last night but fell asleep.

There is a clone of the Cornish. Known as the Fairy Dust, there are Veroboard/stripboard layouts for this as well as a PCB kit (excluding enclosure) available from MKelec.com.

Cost inc shopping would be about £15 from the USA.

Use a TU-2/TU-3 tuner. Good buffer in that.
