Gudday all.
I have a project underway with a None More Black, a one knob gate, and because I heard the gate works well with a buffer in front of it, a klon buffer. I've built the gate before without said buffer and it works well anyway, but I daresay all the pedals I had in front of it had buffers anyway.
Sooo, I'm planning on this:
NMB -> buffer -> gate -> NMB volume.
The gate will be switchable in/out, but the whole thing (dirt, buffer, gate) will be switched out from the NMB switch.
I'm thinking that a gate would be better before the NMB volume as it's going to me more set and forget there. If I place it after the volume then the noise level will fluctuate with the volume settings.
Any opinions on this? It will be easy enough to test I guess.
