    • Makes a Difference
This product was a recommendation by someone on my Line 6 HX Effects group on Facebook. I had my doubts and I was already happy with the 128 presets I have, however, for the price, I thought I’d go for it. It makes my fantastic sounding presets sound even better.

    • Great buffer
This is a great buffer, I was just using the polytuner buffer set up at the beginning of the chain and the sound was so different compared with a direct connection to the amp. I placeed the bonafide at the end of the chain and the sound improved so now you cannot determine if I am direct to the amp or using a pedalboard. The bonafide returned the brights and power to my signal. ... show more

    • Legit, premium product.
Brought an entire new world of tone to my amp Sims and impulse responses that I never realized i was missing. If you record or play with these, you have to get this buffer and see how much brightness you are missing

    • Buffer works great
I got two of these. One for the beginning of my pedal chain and one for the end. It really helps to quiet down the rest of my pedals. I got the idea from watching a guy on YouTube and he was right.

    • A must
A must for every pedalboard with trye by pass pedals on it, improves the sound greatly.

    • good choice for buffers
The BonaFide Buffer does what it's supposed to do - it buffers your signal to combat against high end frequency loss. I am primarily a worship/praise musician and, at my church, we isolate the amps in a separate room. That means we have LONG cables from the stage to the other room in the back - probably a hundred feet. With such length comes the high end frequency loss, muddying your sound. You can compensate by trying to roll your bass eq back and increase your treble, but this doesn't really work. In such instances, a buffer is the logical and pretty much only choice. What's nice about TC's buffer is that it has a small footprint - I have a Pedaltrain Pro completely full of pedals (about 20), which can also cause signal loss. The buffer fits on my board easily and it's the first thing I plug into before all my other gear. I don't notice any changes when I'm practicing at home. However, in the church, my sound sounds like MY sound that I've worked on arduously at home. It's nice to be able to replicate that. This is definitely worth the price and, if you run long cables or have a lot of pedals, you owe it to yourself to get a buffer; and this is a nice choice. ... show more

    • If you think you need it, you do. Get it.
Wow! I am amazed at what this little gizmo can do. I play in a 70's rock band and recently added to my pedal board. I was using a 10' cable from my guitar to my pedal board, then through 5 "true bypass" pedals, then another 20' cable from my pedal board to the mixer, amp, etc. During practice at relatively low volumes, things sounded great, but when it was time for a gig my guitar just sounded muffled. Not a good tone at all. I didn't know about "tone suck" and what true bypass pedals could do to your sound, but through researching forums I realized how your whole rig can rob your playing of tone. I decided to try the BonaFide buffer because of TC Electronics' good reputation with pedals and quality build, and I have a couple of TC pedals and I think they are pretty good. I put it at the beginning of my chain (Buffer - tuner - compressor - chorus - OD - reverb) To repeat: Wow! I am amazed at what this gizmo can do. It really does what it says it does: brings back great tone to your rig. It sounds like you finally got your ears cleaned out. I highly recommend you try this buffer. I can't speak about other buffers on the market, but you can't go wrong with this one from TC. ... show more
