Why do you need a BUFFER PEDAL?? | TC Electronic BonaFide [DEMO] 

is it applicable if we use wireless system?

Bro, is there different types of buffers? Like input and output buffers or does it mean that we just need to buy two of any buffers and connect them the way you mentioned?

thanks a lot Rick!!

grazie Dave!!

thanks dude absolutely!!

Rocco, Bea... I’m still waiting for your collab... :)

I just had to throw some Def Leppard in there :)

There is a taster on Robert Bakers Namm video, but I'd love to see the whole performance!

FingersMcC thanks man!!!

if you have that kind of pick ups,you just need q buffer at the end of your signal chain

thanks Tony :)

haha thanks man! yep I sanded it down and put a Chapman logo decal on it, I usually like the look of matching headstocks better ;)

Bad Motivator keep in mind I've set the amp brighter than I normally would, this way you can really hear how much treble roll off you get when you're not using a buffer;)

Tima239 thanks! the last song of the clean section is Dream On by Aerosmith, the hi gain one is Just Like Tiger Woods by Steel Panther!

Thanks, Rocco! Because of your channel and your covers with Valentino, I decide to relisten some 80's rock stuff! And I can say that it's great!

Tima239 awesome dude!

love both songs!

I noticed that too. I have an ML-1 Hot Rod and the headstock is black. I believe his WAS black too.

The buffer in Boss pedals isn't that great, if you only run a couple of pedals in series it might be fine but there are definitely better alternatives out there. Brian Wampler made a video on this subject some time ago, you should check that out on his channel!

Think it’s tiger woods by steel panther

thats the point its the most original sound buffer is supposed to bring it back

Mateo Bakija thanks! that's actually Standing in the Shadows by Dokken ;)

haha lol thanks man, I was pretty sure it is Accept, they have some similar riff in one of their songs, and that greasy tone reminds me of them too. Btw love your ep Shockfront, listened to it more than 100 times already. Keep it up! \m/

thanks a lot dude!

Peter Cross yep imo the buffer on the TU-3 isn't as good as the Tc one, plus I normally use a clip tuner so I didn't really need another in pedal form...also the BonaFide is super small, with shorter patch cables I could save even more space :)

Rocco Pezzin cheers mate great videos by the way.

If you just have one buffer pedal you can experiment in which position sounds best to you. Ideally you should have an input buffer (between the gtr and pedalboard), and an output one (from the pedalboard to the amp, especially if you run a long cable)

@@RoccoPezzin I am a newbie. I only have JTC NUX Drum & Loop so that I can practice with the drums, and record some backing tracks and my music composition ideas. and I also have TC Electronic PolyTune 3 (coming soon) which has the BonaFide Buffer built in and I will soon test if it makes any difference either at the front or at the end of my poor man's pedal board. nobody really says it, but to me it seems like the buffer must be an active signal enhancer, sort of the preamplifier with the graphic equalizer, which bumps the higher frequencies, as they are most vulnerable to the long cables and other reasons for the signal loss. so it would make more sense to me to put the buffer at the very end of the path, to boost the diminished high frequencies. if we boost the higher frequencies at the beginning of the signal path, they will still get deteriorated on the "long" way to the amp. but of course this is just based on my newbie logic, I will stand corrected as soon as my PolyTune3 arrives. Or when someone experienced explains it better than me and / or corrects my theory.

You're not wrong when talking about the importance of the buffer at the end of the chain, but what's also important to take into consideration is that an input buffer (a good one) makes your guitar believe it's actually connected to the amp input, which in most cases is around 1 mega-ohm, and makes the pickups react the way they're supposed to, if that makes sense. I too have the Polytune 3 mini as tuner/input buffer and a Bonafide as the output one, that's the perfect setup imo

@@RoccoPezzin cool. Thanks for the clarification. I never knew mini had a buffer too. I would have bought the mini instead

means a lot man thanks!

Unnamed yes it is. I have two on my pedalboard. You can use one in the beginning of your pedalboard, and the other one at the end of it.

Yes absolutely, that's even more important in most cases. Ideally you should have an input buffer (from gtr to pedalboard) and an output one (from the pedalboard to the amp)

@@RoccoPezzin - Awesome! Thanks for the fast response. I have more than 6 pedals in my circuit. I definitely add a second buffer for the output end. Thanks!

You didn’t see the video?

@@8Junio76 i ask respectfully

Steel Panther - Just Like Tigerwoods :)
