Buffer
A buffer pedal is used to preserve the quality and integrity of a guitar’s signal as it travels through a pedalboard. Its primary function is to maintain the signal strength and tonal clarity, especially in setups with multiple effects pedals and long cable runs.
When a guitar signal passes through a series of effects pedals and long cables, it can experience signal degradation, resulting in a loss of high frequencies, reduced clarity, and increased noise.
A buffer pedal addresses this issue by using active circuitry to “buffer” or isolate the guitar signal from the effects chain.
This helps to prevent signal loss and tonal degradation, ensuring that the signal remains strong and clear throughout the entire signal path.
Buffer pedals are especially useful in complex pedalboards where multiple pedals and long cables can otherwise negatively impact the guitar’s tone.

Pedal
A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.
This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.
Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.
Once you buy one, you can’t stop and then you have to sell them and buy more.
