Mesa Boogie Highwire - bufor + boost
Mesa Boogie High-Wire is a professional buffer pedal featuring dual buffers (input & output), a +3 dB Line Driver, and a silent MUTE function. Its input buffer is discrete Class A (Stowaway™), while the output uses a high-speed op-amp (Clearlink™). Ideal for long cable runs, complex pedalboards, and preventing signal loss. Boost your tone or mute silently with a single footswitch. Compact, road-ready, and 9V-powered — a must-have utility pedal for serious guitarists.

Mesa Boogie High-Wire – Dual Buffer & Output Boost for Demanding Guitarists
Mesa Boogie High-Wire is a professional-grade signal management tool designed to solve common tone problems such as signal loss, impedance mismatches, and unwanted distortion in complex guitar setups. It combines a high-quality dual buffer with a +3dB line driver and MUTE function, all in a compact pedal format.
What is a Buffer, and Why You Need It?
In setups with long cable runs and multiple pedals, signal degradation is inevitable. The High-Wire combats this with two independent buffers: a discrete Class-A input buffer (Mesa Stowaway™) and a high-speed, low-noise op-amp output buffer (Mesa Clearlink™). These ensure a consistent, clean tone with optimal signal integrity from pickups to amp.
Line Driver Boost and Silent Mute Function
The footswitch-operated Line Driver boosts the signal by +3dB — ideal for maintaining strong levels in large stage rigs or when driving long cable paths. A short tap activates the boost; a long press engages the MUTE function, allowing for silent tuning or guitar swaps without noise or hum.
Impedance Matching and System Compatibility
High-Wire ensures ideal impedance throughout your signal chain — 1M Ohm input and 150 Ohm output make it compatible with nearly any guitar, amp, or effect pedal. Whether placed before or after pedals, it provides tonal consistency and helps eliminate noise and coloration.
Built to Perform
The pedal’s solid metal enclosure is road-ready and built to last. Despite its powerful internals, it features a compact footprint to fit any pedalboard. It runs on standard 9V DC (up to 12V max), drawing just 55mA — fully compatible with most power supplies.

Ask question about product
Mesa Boogie Highwire - bufor + boost - Frequently asked questions.
Is this pedal just a boost?
No — it's a dual buffer with a +3 dB line driver and a MUTE function. It boosts signal strength without coloring the tone.
How does the footswitch work?
Tap to activate the boost; press and hold to mute the output silently.
Can I use it as a preamp?
No — it’s a buffer and line driver, not a preamp. It won’t add gain or tonal coloration.
Is it suitable for stereo setups?
It has one input and one output — but integrates well with stereo rigs if placed correctly in the chain.
Can I use it with bass guitar?
Yes — it works great with electric bass as well as guitar.
Does the buffer require power?
Yes — it’s an active buffer and needs 9V DC (12V max) to operate.
Will it improve the tone of long cables?
Absolutely. The buffer compensates for high-frequency loss and impedance mismatches caused by long cables.
Is the boost clean or does it add gain?
The +3 dB boost is transparent and does not overdrive or color your tone.
Does it fit standard pedalboards?
Yes — it has a compact design (63 x 114 mm) and fits most pedalboards easily.
