Matthews Effects has just unveiled a rather handy-looking tool for pedalboards, The Alchemist.
The mini pedal offers two independent buffers, which can be used as input and output buffers to maintain guitar tone over long signal runs; split signal to an always-on tuner; combine stereo inputs to a single output; or send a single input to two outputs.
Nifty. The Alchemist is available now from Matthews Effects for $89.95.

“The same hand soldered through-hole construction and super rare military spec germanium transistors that were used in the original”: EarthQuaker Devices celebrates two decades of stompbox design with the Hoof Fuzz 20th Anniversary Edition
