I have some new cables on my board, the BL cables and i love em.
I have a very expensive cable from my guitar to my board and a Fulltone from my board to my guitar.
I will keep the Name of the Expensive cable to myself because of what i am about to say now.
I started getting some harshness from my guitar, i felt i could here it more with the Neck pickup.
So i called one of the most respected Builders-Techs of the nation and explained to him everything i was going thru and told him about all of my equipment.
He asked me if i had changed my cables recently and i explained and when i told him about this exquisite cable that i bought his reaction was GET RID OF THAT CABLE and go get a cheapo at your local music store.
Then he explained to me SRV sounds and what Jimmi Hendrix did with his cables and he explained lot's of technical stuff as why i had to change the Expensive cable.
He was right, did it and i feel like a mule for falling with the expensive cable thing.
I don't know if this is the way to go or not, but i am guessing that those dudes we try to emulate didn't spend the whole day looking for a specific thing, they just played and sounded like heaven.
I have this friend that plays cheap pedals, thru a Fender HR and everyone stops to listen to him because no one believes how good he sounds.
Back to playing now, guess the Whirlwind won this round.
