The TC Guitar Pedals always come out on top. This is New is in stock and ready to post out to you, with fast, reliable delivery straight to your door. For more New Guitar Pedals options, read on for full specifications, demos, and secure online ordering.

If you are fan of using a large quantity of pedals or you need to use long cables on stage, you probably have noticed what is commonly known as tone sucking. As your guitar travels through more pedals and more cables you get a lot of high end rolloff which just ruins your bright and powerful tones. If you are experiencing that then you need a high quality buffer like the small and mighty TC Electronic Bonafide Buffer.

Key Features

  • Pure, Simple Tone – The best buffer in the world is the one you don’t even notice is there. By transforming your high impedance guitars signal in to a stronger low impedance signal you don’t suffer that annoying high end rolloff that ruins your perfectly crafted tone. 
  • True/Buffered Bypass – The bonafide buffer has both a buffered and true bypass switch built in however meaning that when the power is cut it instantly switches to true bypass mode so your signal can continue to get to the rest of your pedalboard.
  • Salvage Your Sound – By turning your guitar’s high impedance output into low impedance, BonaFide Buffer opens up the tonal floodgates, so your tone can flow strong and freely through your entire signal chain.
  • Simply Spec(s)tacular – 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. 
  • Failure Is Not An Option – BonaFide Buffer has a built-in intelligent bypass relay, which automatically switches it from buffered to true bypass if its power suddenly gets cut. 

Here’s what TC Electronic say about the Bonafide Buffer:

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!

  • High-Quality analogue buffer
  • Run long cables without any signal degradation
  • Power failure mode – Automatically switches to True Bypass if power gets cut.

Specifications

  • Superior analogue buffering turns 1 MΩ guitar output into a tone-saving 100 Ω low impedance and low noise signal

More info about this Product

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Buffer

A buffer is a circuit designed to preserve signal strength and clarity as it passes through a signal chain. It converts a high-impedance signal into a low-impedance one, helping prevent tone loss caused by long cable runs or multiple pedals.

Buffers are commonly used at the beginning or end of a pedalboard to maintain high-end detail and consistent response. They are especially useful in complex rigs, ensuring the original character of the instrument remains intact regardless of cable length or pedal count.

Pedal

Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own.
