BonaFide Buffer is the sonic remedy that will free your tone of any treble-sucking constraints put upon it by long cable runs. Just slam this high-quality, no-nonsense tone tool on your pedalboard and get ready to bask in your tone as it was meant to be. Transparent, crisp, alive and all you!
In order for a buffer to deliver the goods, it needs to be able to build up a lot of signal strength (high input impedance) and then release all of that power effortlessly (low output impedance). BonaFide Buffer's 1M ohm input and 100 ohm output secures exactly those goals and enables you to have obscenely long cable runs, while still maintaining optimum signal strength. But With great input impedance comes great noise though, right? No, not with BonaFide Buffer. With a > 112dB signal to noise ratio and a Total Harmonic Distortion rating at 0.001%, this beautiful utility box has cut away all the downsides of a buffer and simply leaves you with the upside of an unaltered you.
BonaFide Buffer also has a built-in intelligent bypass relay, which automatically switches it from buffered to true bypass if its power suddenly gets cut. So no matter how chaotic it gets on stage, your tone will always be heard.
Features:
• High-Quality analog buffer
• Run long cables without any signal degradation
• Power failure mode - Automatically switches to True Bypass if power gets cut.
• Extremely high signal-to-noise ratio (>112dB)
• Road-ready construction
• Ultra-compact design that'll fit on any board
• 9V/40mA
• High quality components

Buffering your pedal board is all of the rage these days. This very simple buffer is excellent - exactly right input and output ohm-age, small footprint, low power draw. Every buffer has a "sound" - this one sounds good to me, does not make the signal overy bright or harsh. If you are already using a good power supply, good quality cables and of course excellent pedals, this is the last ingredient. I put this one at the end of the chain, with another Bonafide Buffer inside the TC Electronic Polytune 3 at the start of the chain. Sounds great!
