The Mesa/Boogie Stowaway Input Buffer is a compact 100% discrete Class-A solution designed to address various input challenges caused by impedance loading, mismatching, and changes in a pickup's character and response due to varying effect pedals' input impedance and interconnecting cables' capacitance. The Stowaway provides a stable, consistent load for the instrument to maintain its intended sound.
Key Features:
