Title: High capacitance or low capacitance cable
Post by: 5F6-A on January 03, 2015, 11:42:45 AM

Excuse the really poor playing and out of time digital delay. I just wanted to hear a difference using a low capacitance cable and higher one and I´m too lazy to rerecord.

See which one you like best.

not sure. i'm guessing the second one is the low capacitance cable. it sounded a bit thin after the other one. then again if i'd listened to them in the opposite order i'd have probably thought the low capacitance one sounded dull.

Low capacitance = bright (Lava cables)
High capacitance = dark (Divine Noise)

I often use my Lava cable from guitar > pedal board and then the Divine Noise to the amp. Best of both worlds!

First is a Vox coily cable. Second is Vovox straight.
I like both but the fifference is staggering.  You can really hear how the higher capacitance tames down some bright Strat pickups whereas the expensive Vovox retains all the highs.
For the type of music I play I prefer the coily Vox (much cheaper too). For studio work woth dark er guitars or amps the Vovox is just the ticket.
