The Pinstripe Pedals MBFR is a premium-grade buffered signal splitter designed for players who demand pristine tone, maximum signal integrity, and seamless multi-amp or stereo rig integration. Built for professional pedalboard environments, the MBFR delivers studio-quality buffering with exceptional headroom, ultra-low noise performance, and transformer-isolated outputs for uncompromising clarity on stage or in the studio. 

Featuring a high-impedance input and dual low-impedance outputs, the MBFR preserves your guitar’s natural character across long cable runs and complex pedal chains while eliminating signal degradation commonly found in large rigs. Output 2 includes a premium transformer-isolated circuit with ground lift and polarity reverse controls, making it ideal for dual-amp setups, stereo systems, or eliminating hum and phase issues in professional live applications.

Designed with versatility in mind, the MBFR also functions as an active DI for recording and balanced signal applications when paired with a TRS-to-XLR adapter. Premium components throughout—including Switchcraft jacks, Grayhill switches, and high-end transformer isolation—ensure reliable operation and exceptional audio fidelity under demanding touring and studio conditions. Handbuilt in Oklahoma, the MBFR combines boutique craftsmanship with modern utility for players who refuse to compromise their tone.
