Buffer.. erhm which one?

[Beros]

Hi.


I'm thinking about putting together a buffer, but I have no clues on what circuit to use. I'd like it to be as transparent as possible. The fewer parts, the better. So should i go IC or transistor? Schematics are appreciated.

Good thing to do is type "buffer" in the search and read a bunch of posts.

try the ggg buffer. it works well!

  Depends what you want besides, and how much current amplification.   
  But any active buffer output is going to be able to drive much more current than a guitar pickup.
  They're all nearly 1:1 voltage amps, which = low distortion, IC reports: may sound 'cold or Sterile', mostly I use a Jfet or what is easiest to bias with the PS I have available.
