One Control Minimal Series Black Loop Deluxe with BJF Buffer

The Black Loop Deluxe with BJF Buffer gives you complete control over two independent effects loops in a compact, easy-to-use switching system.

Key Features:

• Two independently controllable effects loops
• Built-in BJF Buffer with switchable true bypass or buffered bypass operation
• Dedicated TOGGLE footswitch instantly reverses the ON/OFF status of both loops

The One Control Minimal Series Black Loop Deluxe with BJF Buffer is a versatile two-loop switcher designed to make complex pedalboard routing simple and intuitive.

The built-in BJF Buffer at the input can be switched on or off, allowing the pedal to operate as either a true bypass or buffered bypass loop switcher depending on your setup.

Three footswitches provide immediate control. The left and right footswitches independently activate LOOP 1 and LOOP 2, while the center TOGGLE footswitch unlocks the pedal’s unique functionality.

TOGGLE Footswitch:

The dedicated TOGGLE footswitch instantly reverses the current ON/OFF status of both effects loops with a single press.

• If both loops are ON, pressing TOGGLE turns both OFF.
• If both loops are OFF, pressing TOGGLE turns both ON.
• If only LOOP 1 is ON, pressing TOGGLE switches to LOOP 2 only.
• If only LOOP 2 is ON, pressing TOGGLE switches to LOOP 1 only.

No matter what your current loop configuration is, a single press instantly recalls the opposite routing, making fast transitions effortless during performance.

Examples

• LOOP 1 is ON and you want both loops ON → Press the LOOP 2 footswitch.
• LOOP 2 is ON and you want only LOOP 1 ON → Press the TOGGLE footswitch.
• Both loops are ON and you want only LOOP 1 ON → Press the LOOP 2 footswitch.

The BJF Buffer:

The BJF Buffer challenges everything players expect from a traditional buffer by delivering an exceptionally natural, transparent signal.

Björn Juhl designed the BJF Buffer to meet several strict requirements:

• Unity gain with no added boost
• Input impedance that preserves the original character of your instrument
• Strong output without excessive amplification
• Extremely low noise
• Clean, musical performance even under overload conditions

The result is a highly respected buffer trusted by professional musicians around the world to preserve the integrity of their guitar signal.

Unlike most effects, whose influence becomes greater the later they appear in the signal chain, a buffer is most effective when placed at the very beginning. That’s why the BJF Buffer is built directly into the input stage of the Black Loop Deluxe. Engaging it helps maintain a warm, natural, and consistent tone throughout your entire pedalboard.
