I don’t want to buy more things guy

Good lord, I cannot believe this debate is still alive. As Ben’s rice has described, “bad” cables have more capacitance that rolls highs. Solution: buy a damn buffer and all your cables can sound expensive. I build these for a couple dollars in parts.

Man, when my Mogami broke I suffered for a month until I realized it was under warranty. Really opened my eyes to the importance of quality cables. Needless to say, I exchanged my cable and got my tone back.

Any reports out there on how this it working with Logic Pro/REAPER, etc???

What would have been great is a comparison to the UTA Cable… cheers 🐺

You showed the proper neck screws they sent. How did you install 2 wrong ones?!?!?

Amazing piece of hardware

Thank for this, great explaining and test 👏🎸🙏

I have been using the JoeB signature cable for the past 10 years and it’s just „perfect“ for me. Initially bought it because of the smaller less obtrusive plug they use on it, but the sound is just great

I wonder how my NUX B-8 setup would compare? I might be playing through a wireless stinker. 🤔

Genuinely surprised at the difference .... though telling myself, would it matter in a mix ? Also it would be interesting to hear a few wireless systems tested the same way as this, and maybe against a variety of cables too ..... Now you need to replace all your patch cables with the high quality stuff too .... I always mocked the yngwie malmsteen cable , even his plecs are £2 GBP each for a dumb signature, but maybe theres something to the cable quality afterall

Next up pedal patch cables

Pedal that you talked about: Euna 29 pedals , this was a cool video!!!

I bought a Klotz Joe Bonamassa nearly 14/15 years ago and i use it on almost every gig (at least 1 a week) and its never failed me and its my favourite cable. 👍🏼

I've never seen that skinny instrument cable that you're using before. What brand is that?

Have a Renown .still use it.powerful and professial!!!

The Bonomasa sounded best to me. I think i could hear the character of the guitar the best. Its like the wood comes through best through that one. Hmmm maybe ill try one. 🤔

Klotz Titanium and La Grange have been my only cables for more than a decade and I wouldn't change 'em for any other! great video as always, Michael!

Should try Mogami, I definitely hear the difference with them!

So this or bogner ectasy for me🥰

great way to start an argument amongst guitarists....

Ah jeez more accessories ok then. Why not a Klotz then I like the name, sounds funny. Can you let us know what your recording console is? I'm about to build one and have been modeling a few for ideas. Yours looks sleek and accessible.

Ah marketing… motherfuckers…

It's basically what many of us always wanted a Super Lead to sound like but marshall refused to build.I would play one of these .

Death Valley Cables, ( currently on hiatus ) unbeatable build quality. Divine Noise another product where the builder takes care in the product, Klotz make exceptional Head to Cabinet speaker cables, Free the Tone patch cable and ends. Your cables can be a blessing or a burden in my experience, If your purchasing $$$ stomp boxes $$$ power solutions for your pedal board unless your routing solutions aren't up to a standard your initial stages of your recorded tone won't be so don't rip your self off.

I have a selection nice cables (OG Colossal, OG Lava, DIY Belden 9778, Belden 8412, Mogami Gold and DIY Mogami) and sometimes the fatness of my old Lava retro-coil cable just sounds best with all that capacitance. After I bought a bunch of Monster Rock cables and discovered they were the tonal problem in my setup, I have been a cable nerd 🤓ever since.

I kind of knew that but am still surprised. Good one Michael!

Maybe you'd like better the red cable with other guitar. Or a bass

I use Mogami cables…yes, good cables make a difference.

The capacitance per meter (and hence also the length) makes a huge difference in brightness and body. Apart from that, the reliability of the connectors and interference shielding are important live, but hard to qualify. Not a cable snob either, but I do check the capacitance carefully and if it has connectors with some strain relief moulding that look that they can take some abuse. Then again, Hendrix had long runs of shitty cable and no problem getting the point across...

differences in capacitance explain pretty much all of the differences, which can be huge. would have been more helpful to frame the test with some basic technical knowledge.

Feel like trying speaker cables next? It makes a difference when you are running your big amps hot into a loadbox. The Vovox excelsus drive won it for me vs a budget cable with a 100W Marshall, but I don't know how other 'premium' speaker cables compare, or how differences may depend on the amp / amp's wattage..

This is video people need to see and hear. Great idea for a video and love the insight. Thank you! Guess I need a new cable.

You don’t want low capacitance cable. Dave Friedman and I talked about this like 15 years ago and how it’s horrible. Brittle bright. I forget the cable name back then which was all popular and super expensive which Dave and I hated. Contrary to most who bought into the hype. I’m not best friends with Dave, lol. But we know each other from a long time ago. Mogami for guitar cable and at least 20 feet. I think John Suhr also said that. The bonamassa sounded the best from here.

AMYOC: always make your own cables. Redco audio is your friend. Ten foot Mogami 2524 with Amphenol or Neutrik connects is about $20 in materials. I can solder up 8-10 full guitar cables in an hour. Mogami 10 footer from GC is like $75. You do the math on how much per hour they charge to do seriously brain dead soldering.

I am man enough to admit I hate how different they were. Before the amp demo, I said to myself, "That difference will not be that noticeable through the amp." I was wrong.

Better cables really do make a noticeable difference!! Awesome job!!!

I have been using Mogami for many years now

I don’t what HD is, but apparently I have 80 of them sum b***hes

I don't hear a difference 😕

The Red Stinker!!! Great video my friend. Thanks for the mention and play through! - Vinnie, Signum

Fricker will set you straight! 😂😂😂

The tonal difference comes from the cable capacitance. The cable forms an RC lowpass filter with the output impedance of the signalsource and the capacitance of the cable. This will be very noticable whenever you drive a cable with a high impedance source, like a passive guitar pickup. You can kinda think of it as like gradually turning down the tone knob on your guitar. A "better" cable will have less capacitance per meter, than a "bad" one. The overall capacitance a cable has is just the product of it's lenght and relative capacitance. Now the higher the overall capacitance is, the lower the cutoff frequency will be. If you use a low impedance source to drive the cable, like a buffer, a pedal or active pickups this lowpass effect will be negligible, because the cutoff frequency will be way above the human hearing range. So no need to junk that red cable, just make sure to use it after a buffer. Some people actually like the high end roll off of a "bad" cable, so the technically better cable might sound worse to them, than an technically inferior cable. That whole tonal diagramm and polarity thing is marketing BS.

The red cable should be fine with active pickups.

cool test. i'd be curious if using a quality buffer would decrease the difference significantly.

Been using Mogami in the studio and in the rig for years now, they are my gold standard.

That’s gonna be one of those deep tone secrets…ya gotta get a Klotz La Grange cable, but plug it in backwards, with the guitar side at the amp! 😎🤣

I always believed in using good cables just because I could hear the difference, same with pedal patch cables. And this video proves it too.
