For the electronically challenged I will pose the question. Why do I need to adjust the input and output impedance(s) and how do you know when that are properly adjusted?
Would it be wise for a never-ever to buy the single knob version to work out the kinks before tackling the 3 knob?
1. Still figuring out the paying side as far as I understand
2. Adjusting the input impedance changes the way the buffer loads your guitar pickups and will change how it reacts. Low impedence will sound dull. Super high impedance can sound overly bright. However, the sweet spot varies for different pickup types (single coil, P90, humbucker, etc.) and pickup output levels. Similarly, output impedance will change how the signal is seen by the rest of your pedals and your amp. In general you want lower impedance but again, there may be a sweet spot which will vary. How do you know when you've got it? Your ears should be hearing some beautiful music
3. There will (as far as I can tell) be almost no difference in "skill level" for the 1 knob vs. the 3 knob except that there's 2 extra pots in the 3 knob circuit instead of resistors. So there's a few more wires and more solder but this would only be a minimal difference in build difficulty. If you want to test the 1 knober out though it may be useful to give it a shot first and learn to solder well and whatnot. All up to you
Hopefully the truly good builders on this board will point now out anywhere I'm leading you astray

Can someone please let me know what the one knob box is all about as well as the multi knob version.
