#PLANET WAVES PATCH CORDS FREE#

I had read all sorts of reviews saying that monster & other more expensive cable brands weren't worth the money, but for noise free playing, it seems that they are. I'm unbelievably annoyed that I sunk $100 into cheaper cables that are much noisier than the monsters I had. And I am using the shielded end connecting into the amplifier, as suggested.

I've barely used these cables, never once live, so it's not a wear & tear thing. I thought something was wrong with my configuration or my switcher.ДЇor the heck of it, I switched back to my monster cables, and boom, no noise at all.

Plug in the cables and am getting VERY noisy and noticable popping. Sometimes there's a bit of an audio gap because the patch is completely re-routing, but never a single pop. I was experiencing some extremely noticable popping when using my musicomlab EFXIII+ switcher. I looked into planet waves gold plated cables and decided I'd build a 20 ft snake with 'em. I've been a longtime monster user, but their recent discontinuation of their old product line of cables had me thinking about going with a cheaper alternative such as d'addario. ThatвЂ™s because pedals have low impedance outputs, though if your pedals are true bypass, theyвЂ™ll have more effect on the overall capacitance in your signal.I bought four planet waves gold plated instrument cables recently. When it comes to smaller patch cables between your pedals, their capacitance isnвЂ™t as important as the cable that goes between the guitar and the first pedal in your chain. In theory, the ideal set up for wide frequency response in your tone is a low impedance pickup and low capacitance cable. The output from most electronic audio devices is usually low impedance (around 150ohms), but it can be much higher for passive guitar pickups.ДЄctive pickups contain a preamp that offsets any issues with impedance by converting it to low impedance, and it can drive a cable without any loss of high frequency.ДЄnd this means it is more adversely affected by capacitance from a cable to create a filter on your sound вЂ“ as capacitance and impedance increase, this filter comes into effect more. It is made up of the sum of two components, resistance (R) and reactance (X). Impedance (Z) is the measure of the total opposition to current flow in an alternating current circuit. You may even want this, but if youвЂ™re lacking some high-end brightness, a low capacitance guitar cable could make a positive difference to your sound. Combined with the inductors that are your guitar pickups, it can actually add mid-range gain.ДЄs a general rule of thumb, the longer your cable length, or the more capacitance the cable itself has for its given length, the more loss of high-end youвЂ™ll notice. Most noticeably, capacitance has the effect of reducing high-end treble in your tone, but it can actually have an effect across the entire spectrum. A decent quality audio cable should offer 40pf per foot with the highest quality offering around half that. Guitar cables contain smaller amounts of capacitance, which are measured in picofarads (pf) each one million-millionth of a farad. Large amounts of capacitance is measured in units of farads, so named after 19th century English physicist Michael Faraday. The larger the surface area of these conductors (in your guitar cable), the larger the capacitance.

Understanding capacitanceДЄ capacitor is formed between two electrical conductors that are in close proximity. This is where вЂcapacitanceвЂ™ comes into play вЂ“ capacitance is a buzzword you'll often hear around guitar cables, and for good reason. YouвЂ™ll feel the effects of different guitar cables much more if you're using passive electric guitar pickups rather than active. The quality of your guitar or patch cable will definitely influence your tone. (Image credit: Future) Will a better guitar cable improve my tone? Looking for a great Black Friday music deal?

A relatively small investment of around ВЈ30/$40 will land you one of the best guitar cables in our guide though, so if you treat it right, it will last you many happy years of jamming, gigging and recording. Guitar cables can range in price from a few pounds/dollars to hundreds, and the temptation for many guitarists is to spend as little as possible so that there's more cash left in the pot for alcoholic beverages, or more exciting gear like looper pedals, guitar wireless systems and, of course, electric and acoustic guitars.Д«ut rest assured, we're not here to empty your wallet, although ItвЂ™s worth considering that like everything else in your rig, higher quality usually lasts longer and sounds better.
