You need this

I f you have a few pedals on your chain, you need this! End of story sort and clear.

It works!

Using many pedals? Not always on but bypassing them? Then you can’t avoid a buffer. This buffer! Only one feature a star less. It has a very strong blue light signalling it’s on (as if you wouldn’t notice by listening) so you need much tape to dim it.

Does what is supposed to do.

And does it well.

Useless waste of money

I was led to try this to reduce the noise to a Marshall Code amp, and never heard any improvement, sometimes even creating further noise, whether in TrueBypass or plugged. I also tried the Rockboard buffer, which has no TB, and isn't better than this one.

Useful pedal in the studio!

Its my first buffer pedal, and I'm satisfied with it! :)

I can't compare it to other pedals in the same catregory, but I own a lot of TC Electronics pedals and I'm vey happy with their quality and sound.

A necessary tool for big pedalboards

This buffer does the job perfectly and brought back some of the highs in my sound. The neat thing about this buffer is that it switches to true bypass when the power is cut off, so that it lets your signal pass through. Recommended!

excellent product

Excellent buffer, for those who have a long pedal chain like me it makes his job perfectly.

Pro- No signal loss or weak and small dimension.

contro- none to me.

Superb!

Well worth putting at the front of your signal chain for an extra tone boost. A very simple way to get the best of your guitar's tone.

If like me you are running quite a lot of true bypass pedals then you really do need a buffer. I refused to believe it until I did the test. After hooking up the BonaFide buffer the highs in my sound returned. It's a great size and very sturdy.

Useful Buffer

BonaFide Buffer is definitely small and useful part of pedal chain particularly in case of several pedals. This baby significantly improves the guitar tone. Transparent, crisp, compact. Highly recommended.
