Free yourself from the woes of tone suck with Bonafide Buffer from TC Electronic, a highly compact, all-analog buffer pedal that helps to preserve your tone with ultralong cable runs and highly complex pedalboards. With the high-quality analog buffer, you'll reduce noise and save your treble.

The Bonafide Buffer pedal converts the 1-megohm Hi-Z input into a low-impedance 100-ohm output, allowing you to maintain your signal integrity when it has to pass through many inputs and outputs or very long cables. Bonafide Buffer utilizes 9 VDC input via standard 9V power supplies (not included), but thanks to an intelligent bypass relay, the pedal will automatically switch to a true bypass when a loss of input power is detected. This allows you to continue using the pedal passively without interrupting your performance. Made from durable diecast metal, the Bonafide Buffer will stand the test of time.

Although many guitarists today run their tone through a plethora of FX pedals, processors, drives, modelers, and amps, this comes with a distinct disadvantage: high frequencies. As an electrical signal travels down very long cables and many different input and output circuits, it begins to lose integrity due to electrical resistance. This can result in a significant loss of tone, especially in high frequencies, making your guitar sound worse.

With a buffer, extra voltage is used to boost the signal's integrity, reducing the resistance of the signal as it leaves the pedal, so it can more easily withstand these long transmissions. Thus, more of your high frequencies are preserved, allowing your full, honest guitar tone to be processed or amplified in its full glory.

Not only does a buffer maintain your tone, it also helps to improve clarity by reducing noise. The Bonafide Buffer sports a >112 dB signal-to-noise ratio and a total harmonic distortion of just 0.001%. These are very low noise specs and ensure that your guitar signal will arrive at its destination in full detail.

The Bonafide Buffer is currently in use by several professional guitarists including:

  • Ryan Monroe (Band of Horses)
  • Vernon Reid (Living Colour)
  • Henning Pauly (EytschPi42)
  • Joe Perry (Aerosmith)
