I want to share a cable that I really love. Its dynamics are amazing, and it gives the tone so much body. When the designer was developing this cable, he told me, “A lot of people actually have very good guitars, but because of the cables they use, the full signal never really gets through. By the time it comes out, maybe only 40% of the dynamics are left.”

     Because of that, we end up relying more on pedals and other processing to shape the sound. But when you overdo that, the harmonics start to lose their beauty. Even if the sound still has big, bold texture, that ends up being all you hear. Then you start thinking the guitar is the problem, and before you know it, you keep changing guitars.

       What is even worse is that when you play fast, it becomes much easier to lose precision in your picking dynamics. So the way you apply force may actually have a lot to do with whether the signal reaching your ears is complete in the first place.

    That is why I recommend Salvation cables. They let the full signal and dynamics come through, so you can finally hear the instrument the way it is meant to sound.
