The RockBoard® Natural Sound Buffer V2 preserves the natural sound of a guitar or bass in conjunction with effect pedals, and prevents signal loss. Musicians who use elaborate effects pedal setups especially know this problem: long cable runs and effects chains cause an unintended change in their guitar tone. Loss of high frequencies makes the sound dull and changes its characteristics in an undesirable way. We have the solution: The RockBoard® Natural Sound Buffer V2!

It features an op-amp-based buffer circuit that takes the high impedance output signal, converts it to a low impedance signal, and gives it an inaudible amount of additional gain.

The RockBoard® Natural Sound Buffer V2 will be traditionally inserted between the instrument and the first stomp box in the chain. In this way, it will feed the rest of the signal chain the natural sound of your tone, without distortion and without additional noise and will help you drive long cable runs without any frequency loss. Simply connect a stabilised 9V DC power adapter – 2.1 x 5.5 mm barrel plug, negative centre polarity – (not included) like the RockBoard® Power Ace to the power supply input, plug your instrument into the input jack of the RockBoard® Natural Sound Buffer, and the output jack to the first stomp box in the effect chain. However, with certain effects pedals that require high impedance input signals, like many fuzzes, there can be undesired effects like distortion or feedback, if they are placed after the Natural Sound Buffer V2 in the signal chain. Should you experience any unwanted effects in when using effects pedals in conjunction with the RockBoard® Natural Sound Buffer V2, experiment with the placement of the RockBoard® in your signal chain to utilise its full potential.

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.

Natural

Natural guitars showcase the beauty of the wood itself, with finishes that highlight the grain, colour, and character of each piece. Favoured by players who appreciate simplicity and authenticity, natural finishes let the instrument’s craftsmanship and tonewoods speak for themselves. Whether it’s the warm glow of mahogany or the bright shimmer of maple, a natural guitar has a timeless, organic look that never goes out of style. These instruments often feel more connected to their acoustic roots, offering both visual elegance and a sense of purity that appeals to musicians across all genres.
