      Finding the right pedal and the tone you truly love is never easy. We also know that using a high-quality power supply can make a pedal more stable and improve its sound.
 

       But have you ever thought about whether the quality of the DC power cable itself affects the sound?
The answer is yes！

       

      Whether it is dynamics, texture, or detail, even a pedal in bypass mode—when the effect is not engaged—can still affect the overall sound quality. And the difference can be significant. Believe it or not, once you test it for yourself, you will immediately hear the difference and rediscover the performance and tone your pedal was always meant to deliver！

​

      The DC cables included with most power supplies often sacrifice a great deal of dynamics and detail, largely due to cost considerations. But if you are a player who pursues better dynamics, richer tonal detail, and the full potential of your favorite pedals, and if you want to recover the tone and dynamics that have been lost, this is the kind of upgrade that will put a smile on your face！

​

      Using Oyaide DC connectors, Salvation Styx wiring, and two different solder combinations, we created two DC cable voicings with distinct tonal characters.

 

​

     Styx DC Modern

• DC Modern (Black / White Stripe)

  • With excellent restoration of dynamics and detail, the texture is exceptionally clear and clean, allowing subtle emotional nuances to come through with precision. Its modern character feels like emotion slowly building, as if approaching the edge of losing control.

  • The soundstage sits slightly farther back, with clear separation across all three frequency ranges and abundant detail.

  • It is an excellent choice for players who prefer clean, well-defined texture and want to create vivid sonic imagery in their playing.

     Styx DC Vintage

• DC Vintage (Gray / White Stripe)

  • With the same strong restoration of dynamics and detail, the texture is larger, more forward, and more immediate. The midrange is thick and prominent, making emotional expression feel effortless. Its vintage character feels like the aftermath of emotional collapse, carrying a sense of melancholy and sorrow.

  • The sound sits more forward, with rich mids and strong definition.

  • It is ideal for players who do not want overly sharp texture, but prefer a fuller and more pronounced midrange.

No matter which version you choose, both cables deliver the same level of dynamics and detail.

They allow you to clearly hear the subtle vibration of the strings and the delicate changes in picking intensity, revealing a layered and expressive sound.
