[. . . ] Power Requirements + - Warranty This product is warranted against failures due to defective parts or faulty workmanship for a period of one year after delivery to the original owner. During this one year period, Axess Electronics will make any necessary repairs without charge for parts and labor. [. . . ] The buffer circuitry used is a very high quality Op-Amp based design that is both low-noise and MUSICAL, don't let other's try to deceive you, nothing is transparent !!!Three outputs allow a single guitar signal to feed a tuner and two amplifiers without signal loss and/or tonal degradation. Two of the three outputs are connected in parallel, and the third is Transformer Isolated to prevent Ground Loop Hum/Noise when driving two amplifiers. The Transformer Isolated output is equipped with a Phase Reverse switch to prevent any phase cancellation problems from occurring when driving two amplifiers. Powered by a 9VDC Adapter (we recommend the Boss PSA Series) with a 5. 5mm/2. 1mm barrel connector. Housed in a compact (4. 40" x 2. 40" x 1. 30") and rugged . 064" thick aluminum enclosure for years of reliable use and performance. Brushed finish with black anodize coating and laser-engraved printing. 25mA@9. 6VDC Use Boss PSA Adapter Only 5. 5mm/2. 1mm Barrel Connector Connections & Switches INPUT: Standard 1/4" mono jack that should be connected to the output of an electric guitar or the output of an effect pedal. Standard 1/4" mono jack that should be connected to the input of an amplifier or the input of an effect pedal. Standard 1/4" mono jack that should be connected to (1) the input of a second amplifier or (2) the input of an effect pedal feeding a second amplifier or (3) the input of a tuner to prevent Ground Loop Hum/Noise or other noise problems that can be caused by some tuners. . . Please note that if any pedals are used between the ISO'D OUT jack and a second amplifier, these pedals must be powered from a different source than the BS2, tuner and pedals feeding the first amplifier otherwise a Ground Loop will be created resulting in unwanted hum and noise. . . · MAIN OUT: ISO'D OUT: · · · · SPLIT OUT: Standard 1/4" mono jack that is connected directly (in parallel) to the MAIN OUT jack. Use this jack whenever a transformer-isolated signal/split is not necessary, such as when feeding the input of a pedal and/or some tuners. . . POWER: Accepts power from an external AC Adapter with a 5. 5mm/2. 1mm barrel connector, see Power Requirements for more information.

Overview The BS2 has been designed as a solution to several problems that we've solved using custom-made buffers/splitters over the past several years. As a buffer, the BS2 should be used as early in the signal path as possible. Ideally it should be the first thing your guitar plugs into to, but unfortunately that can't always be the case. [. . . ] Please note that if any pedals are used between the ISO'D OUT jack and the second amplifier, these pedals must be powered from a different source than the BS2, tuner and pedals feeding the first amplifier otherwise a Ground Loop will be created resulting in unwanted hum and noise. . . In all of the above applications, the SPLIT OUT jack can be used to feed the input of a tuner as long as the tuner doesn't cause a Ground Loop (resulting in unwanted hum and noise) or other noise problems that some tuners are known for. . .
