What does the Mesa/Boogie High-Wire Dual Buffer Pedal do?

The High-Wire Dual Buffer Pedal is designed to protect your guitar's tone from signal degradation caused by long cable runs and complex pedalboards. It acts as a powerful line driver, ensuring your signal remains strong and clear. It also features a footswitchable boost, perfect for solos or pushing your amp. This pedal helps maintain your instrument's natural sound, making it ideal for any guitarist.

How do I connect the High-Wire Dual Buffer to my rig?

Connect your instrument to the "Instrument" input. The "Send to Pedals" output goes to the input of your first pedal, and the "Pedal Board Return" comes from the last pedal in your chain. Finally, the "Out to Amp" connects to your amplifier. There's also a dedicated "Tuner" output that provides a buffered signal without interrupting your main signal path.

How does the boost feature work on the High-Wire?

The High-Wire features a footswitchable boost, allowing you to instantly increase your signal level for solos or to drive your amplifier harder. The "Boost" knob lets you dial in the exact amount of volume increase you need, from a subtle lift to a significant jump. It's a clean boost, designed to add volume without altering your core tone.

Why would I need a buffer pedal like the High-Wire?

Long cable runs and multiple true-bypass pedals can cause your guitar signal to lose high-end clarity and dynamics, often called "tone suck." The High-Wire Dual Buffer prevents this by maintaining a strong, consistent signal throughout your entire pedalboard and cable chain, ensuring your amplifier receives the purest possible tone from your instrument.
