![]() Patching in the BonaFide made a significant difference to the high end and, with all my pedals bypassed, it gave me the same sound I usually get when plugging directly into the amp using a fairly short cable. My own pedalboard has been a source of frustration, the amount of treble loss leading me to put a treble booster at the end of the chain (far from the ideal way to solve the problem). Providing an input impedance of 1MΩ and an output impedance of around 100Ω, there are few pedals that wouldn’t be happy following the BonaFide, with the possible exception of some antique germanium fuzz boxes that can be rather picky about what’s fed into them. ![]() It acts as a low-noise, impedance-matching buffer which can be placed at the start of your collection of pedals, the idea being that it will save you from the evils of treble loss caused by long cables, pedals that leave circuitry hanging on the signal path when the pedal is bypassed, and all those interconnects necessary to link your pedals. Despite apparently qualifying for least interesting (non-)pedal of the year, the BonaFide could still turn out to be an essential addition to your pedalboard, both live and for recording. well that’s it - there’s nothing else! So I hesitate to call the BonaFide a pedal, but its format makes it about the same size as TC’s Mini PolyTune. ![]() This may be one of the easiest reviews to write in the history of easy reviews, as the TC BonaFide presents itself as a small metal box with a single LED to show that it is powered up (via its Boss-compatible 9V input - there’s no battery option), an input jack, an output jack and. ![]()
