Product Overview
Mesa Boogie's HIGH-WIRE™ is a Dual Buffer and Line Driver all in one that provides a stable, consistent load for your guitar's pickups to ensure your signal arrives at the first pedal intact and full of tone. As with the Stowaway, all buffer circuitry is 100% discrete Class-A. The HIGH-WIRE also incorporates a fixed +3dB BOOST on a top mounted mini-toggle. The Footswitch is Dual Function and allows both the variable BOOST when hit once and a MUTE when held for a second. The HIGH-WIRE is the ultimate all-in-one Pedal Board signal loss remedy.
