CAE Buffer

The CAE Buffer comes from MXR's collaboration with Bob Bradshaw's Custom Audio Electronics. The buffer maintains signal integrity across long cable runs and complex pedalboard chains.

True bypass switching. The buffer circuit keeps high frequencies intact that passive cables and pedals can roll off. Place it early in the chain to preserve your guitar's natural brightness through subsequent pedals.

Bob Bradshaw's professional rig work for touring artists informed the design. His systems handle massive signal chains while maintaining tone; this buffer brings that philosophy to individual players.

Standard 9V power. For players with complex pedalboards or long cable runs, the CAE Buffer provides the signal preservation that Bradshaw's clients rely on.
