Simpleway MP  – a fully balanced inline microphone preamplifier for ribbon and dynamic microphones. It is designed to provide an ultra-clean extra gain of +20dB (or +6dB) with very low noise floor and perfect impedance bridging before the main amplification stage, be it a stand-alone preamp, console or audio interface, which is particularly important when working with classical passive ribbon microphones.

The output stage of the device is designed to have low output impedance in order to minimise the influence of wire capacitance allowing for very long cable runs without any audible signal degradation, which is perfect for stage applications.

This inline preamplifier is mainly intended for work with ribbon microphones, but don’t hesitate to try it with your good old SM57, SM58 or any other dynamic mic – most likely you will hear them the way you’ve never expected them to sound!

The main purpose of the guitar buffer is to turn any ordinary guitar into an active one, this way enhancing and stabilising its sonic qualities for better use with the other devices in the chain. The instrument starts to breathe,  excellent micro and macro dynamics appear, conveying the tiniest nuances of the performance.

The buffer is powered by a +9 -+24 adapter and has an TRS (1/4 inch Jack) input and output sockets and a power connection. Other instruments can also benefit from the use of this device. It has a lot of overload protection headroom, which depends on the power supply: +9V for a guitar, +12 – +15V for the keyboards, and +24 – +27V for a high gain line level source. Why is it called a guitar buffer then? A guitar is a complex and demanding instrument and the buffer effect is very obvious when used on a guitar.
