Waldotronics Spud G-1 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 Spud G-1 buffer is Waldo’s non-smd component version of the original custom JG1 built by EMG for use in Jerry’s Rosebud guitar, built by Doug Irwin. It features a unity gain, low-impedance output.

We recommend that each buffer is paired with the period-correct pickups, although feel free to mix and match! The Spud G-1 buffer sounds best with Dimarzio Super Distortion/Dual Sound (they are the same) pickups. It is slightly brighter sounding when compared to the Tiger buffer, and a similar brightness to the Spud JFET buffer.
