## Summary description

TC Electronic Bonafide Buffer is a dedicated instrument signal buffer designed to preserve tone over long cable runs and through pedalboards. It provides impedance matching and consistent signal level for guitars and basses, supporting passive and active pickups. Ideal for live performance and studio use to prevent high‑end loss and maintain dynamics when using multiple effects and long cables.

## Long description

TC Electronic Bonafide Buffer is an instrument signal buffer designed to preserve the original tone of electric guitars and basses when using long cable runs, complex pedalboards, or multiple effects. The unit provides low output impedance and correct impedance matching between instrument and downstream devices, helping to retain high-frequency detail and dynamic response for both passive and active pickups.
Advantages
The Bonafide Buffer offers consistent signal level and impedance stabilization without altering the character of the instrument. Its passive/active compatibility ensures that pickups with different output types operate without tone loss. The compact form factor makes it easy to place on a pedalboard or near an input jack, reducing signal degradation caused by long cables and many interconnected effects.
Suitable for
 Electric guitar setups with long cable runs
 Bass rigs requiring preserved high-end clarity
 Pedalboards with multiple true-bypass pedals
 Recording and live performance environments where tone consistency is important
Key specifications
 Input/output impedance designed for instrument-level signals
 Compatible with passive and active pickups
 Maintains signal level and high-frequency content
 Compact enclosure suitable for pedalboard mounting
 Low-noise circuitry optimized for clean buffering
How to use
Place the Bonafide Buffer at the start of your signal chain—between the instrument and the first pedal—or near the amplifier input when using long cables. Connect the instrument to the input jack and route the buffered output to the rest of the pedalboard or to the amplifier. The device operates transparently; no EQ or tone controls are required. Use standard instrument cables and power according to the manufacturer’s specifications if external power is necessary.
Usage recommendations
For best results, install the buffer at the point where cable length or the number of pedals begins to affect clarity. When combining passive and active pickups, the Bonafide Buffer helps maintain a consistent response across instruments. Avoid placing additional buffers in series unless specifically required, and follow proper grounding practices to minimize hum and noise.
