dBuz Cable and dBuzX Extender
By Dave Hunter
Aero Instrument

GROUND-NOISE ISSUES are so commonplace for guitarists that many of us just take them in stride, all while keeping one hand on our strings or bridge to squelch the buzz coming from our amp. Just think about that as you cast your eyes over Aero Instrument's dBuz cable and dBuzX extender and ask, “Do I need them? If that incessant little albatross to your playing style is starting to get you down, and especially if it's plaguing your home recording efforts, dBuz can rid you of it as fast as you can swap cables.

The dBuz was invented by Larry J. Pollack of Aero Instrument in Hilo, Hawaii. He's best known for his high-end replacement pickups for guitar and bass, and he's also made custom amplifiers and other audio gear. Given his depth of audio engineering experience, the dBuz might be one of the simplest products Pollack has ever created, yet it's one with potentially universal appeal.
