TEFI Vintage Lab is pleased to welcome you to our family. We hope
you enjoy using our new BuBoP! Buffer/Booster. Feel free to get in
touch for any suggestions or clarifications as to how you might best
use the effect. Play music and enjoy using our products!

BuBoP! was conceived by merging three features very often needed
by musicians: Buffer (the quiet Joe Buffer) and Booster (the angry
Don Booster) combinable with Presence (the fat Bill Presence). This
handyman stompbox can be placed anywhere in the effects chain: e.g.
before an overdrive pedal to get more saturation, before a fuzz box to
radically change its sound behavior to get a lot of "angrier" distortion.
You can also place BuBoP! at the end of the chain to get the level boost
required for solos or simply to give get overall sound equalization.

BUBOP! Operating Manual
It's also useful to adapt the correct load instrument impedance to a
old vintage amplifier or effects with low input impedance levels, or
else before low input impedance mixers and PC soundcards. Thanks
to its wideband response, covering the whole audio spectrum, BuBoP!
can also be used with a bass guitar, electric piano or any instrument
needing a preamplifier and/or equalization that can be activated with
the Presence switch. The original "clip guard" LED blinks when the
input signal is too high: this is an useful alert to establish whether the
amp is saturating or not. With a blinking LED the BuBoP! gain stage
saturates and can produce overdrive tones.
