Waldotronics Tiger Buffer

Mike Wald, aka Waldo, creator of Waldotronics, has been researching Jerry tone and unveiling each detail to our community for over 15 years now - as more and more information has emerged over the years, Waldo has been able further refine each piece of the Jerry tone puzzle. Finally, after years of quests, he has been able to create more accurate versions of the actual buffers used on Jerry’s buffer-equipped guitars.

The Tiger buffer is an actual clone of the buffer used in Tiger, Jerry’s guitar built by Doug Irwin. It features some NOS components, as used in the original, and has a unity gain output.

We recommend that each buffer is paired with the period-correct pickups, although feel free to mix and match! The Tiger buffer sounds best with Dimarzio Super 2 pickups. It is slightly darker sounding when compared to the Spud G-1, or Spud JFET buffer models, but creates the unmistakable sizzle you are looking for in your tone. The tiger buffer is the model I use in my green stratocaster that you may have seen in some videos.
