Get The Best Tone From Your Existing Gear

With ToneFRĒQ Acoustic™ in your sonic arsenal you’ll be able to improve your guitar or bass signal output like never before! That’s because there has never been another product quite like it before.  ToneFRĒQ Acoustic allows you to do three very important things:



1. Improve the sound of your instrument, cables and amplifier


2. Run long cable lengths without signal degradation


3. Boost low pickup signal output


Using ToneFRĒQ Acoustic™ is like hot rod-ing your instrument without requiring any modifications to it.  Just secure ToneFRĒQ Acoustic onto your strap and plug it into your instrument. Connect another cable from ToneFRĒQ Acoustic output to your amp, modeler or effects.  It’s that easy to realize the best tone you’ve ever had.  ToneFRĒQ Acoustic will dramatically improve your sound.



Improve the sound of your guitar, cables and amplifier with our

world class Buffer Amp 

Our buffer amp is a major improvement over any buffer you've ever heard.  Most buffer amps will sound brash if placed before things like a wah or fuzz box.  This one won't.  The ToneFREQ Buffer Amp can make a big improvement in your midrange and high mid frequencies, preserving them completely.  When Buffer Amp is engaged, you'll be hearing the full frequency response of your guitar for the first time because, with ToneFRĒQ Acoustic, you'll be properly driving your instrument cable right from the source.  


Imagine that your sound is like water passing through a large pipe with a half open valve.  ToneFRĒQ Buffer Amp will fully open that valve allowing the full potential of your instrument sound to transfer to your amp or modeling device. Your once incomplete signal now has a full range of fundamental and harmonic content and detail.   The ToneFRĒQ  Buffer Amp actually makes your inexpensive cables sound better by essentially defeating the effect of capacitance inherent in them.  In fact, even the cheapest cables will sound better than the most expensive high definition cables when used with ToneFRĒQ. Don’t take our word for it. Try ToneFRĒQ yourself risk free and see for yourself.  Or, hear what some of our users have to say.


ToneFRĒQ Acoustic Buffer Amp feature allows you to run long cable lengths without signal degradation. Running even a modest amount of cable will sound better. Now your best sound can actually reach your amp instead of being lost along the way.   You’ll be truly hearing your full sound for the first time.


Buffer Amp makes ToneFRĒQ Acoustic a direct box (DI) that can be used with your amp, modeler or console.  You can also use ToneFRĒQ Acoustic for re-amping (passing recorded signal out to guitar amps or effects).


Independently enable or disable each feature

ToneFRĒQ Acoustic  has a true mechanical bypass feature that allows you to listen to your unaltered guitar tone with the turn of a knob.  With Buffer Amp engaged you'll experience a significant improvement in your sound.


Dial in the perfect amount of additional volume  

ToneFRĒQ Acoustic also comes equipped with a completely variable +20 dB gain boost that really comes in handy. Turn it down all the way to completely defeat it. Turn it up to boost a low output guitar or bass pickup signal or to take that lead you actually want people to hear.  ToneFRĒQ Acoustic’s mission is to provide your amp, modeler or effects with the best possible signal from your instrument. Tone connoisseurs know how important it is to hit that first stage of your amplifier with just the right amount of gain.  Now you can do just that.


Battery Life   

Once you start using ToneFRĒQ Acoustic you won’t want to be without it. While ToneFRĒQ Acoustic has an incredibly long 400 hour battery life, there’s nothing worse than having a battery die on you during a gig. With ToneFRĒQ Acoustic there are NO worries.  ToneFRĒQ Acoustic uses a single, standard 9-volt battery.  When your battery needs to be changed, the ToneFRĒQ Acoustic settings will dim to let you know that it is time to replace it. ToneFRĒQ Acoustic also has a built-in power reserve that allows it to fully function for a few hours after the settings go out.  As long as the ToneFRĒQ Acoustic settings are on prior to starting a gig, you'll be able to finish the show with the reserve power.  Your live performance or studio session continues uninterrupted. Now that’s no hassle! 


Only The Highest Quality Will Do  

ToneFRĒQ Acoustic is hand-built with care by its inventors in the USA.  ToneFRĒQ Acoustic is a no-compromise device and only the finest components are used in its construction.  All components were selected based on sound quality - not price.  We use fully plated through printed circuit boards, precision resistors and capacitors and Neutrik connectors. 


ToneFRĒQ Acoustic enclosure is lightweight yet durable with high quality metal connectors & mounting points. 2 straps (designed from materials that will prevent damage to your prized guitar) securely fasten ToneFRĒQ Acoustic to your guitar strap.


ToneFRĒQ Acoustic comes with a 6 month Limited Warranty

ToneFRĒQ Acoustic


ToneFRĒQ Acoustic™ features an ultra high input impedance optimized for piezo type pickups found in acoustic guitars, double basses, cellos, violins, and many other acoustic instruments.  Works great with conventional pickups too.

 

This product is unique in that it is designed to be mounted or worn as close as possible to the instrument pickups thereby retaining as much of the tone as possible without signal quality losses normally caused by long cables and their inherent capacitance and susceptibility to electrical noise and interference such as stage lighting noise and AC power line hum.  Converts the low level, high impedance output of your pickups up to a healthy line level, low impedance signal that is far more versatile and robust.  Includes built-in Velcro mounting straps to easily mount to strap, belt or flange.

 

Allows you to increase the output (gain) of the pickup for maximum signal to noise ratio and super flat and clean transparent response.  In addition to standard instrument amplifiers, it works great as a DI for line level inputs like rack compressors, mixing boards and DAW interfaces.  Incredibly long battery life (250+ hours) from one 9V battery.

 

Product is hand made in the USA using the highest quality components available by the inventors and is one of the best kept secrets among professional players around the world for achieving the highest quality tone.
