In terms of total capacitance, cable length is just as important as cable brand (but not nearly as lucrative for cable manufacturers and dealers!).Īnd, of course, once the impedance has been lowered (via a buffer), it won't have as much effect.
An average number might look something like 100pF/ft. One of the lowest-capacitance cables on the market, George L, has a capacitance of 67pF/ft. While it is true that different cable technologies/brands have different amounts of capacitance per foot, I don't see this as the best avenue toward remediating the problem the OP has. It is the first pedal in the chain specifically so that it precedes any and all buffers. I have one vintage fuzz on there which really needs to see a naked, high-impedance guitar signal to perform its best. I use a Hilton volume pedal in the middle, which has another very good buffer.Īnd there's a delay at the end that also has a good buffer. no touring since March), the second pedal on my board is an overdrive with a very good buffer in bypass.
On my last touring board (I won't say "current," because. While they can be made poorly, it's not much more difficult (or expensive) to make one well.įor this reason, I don't see much reason to have a dedicated buffer pedal in most cases-careful selection of a few buffered-bypass pedals, placed logically in your chain, will do the job. between pedals far more quickly, and also gives him total true bypass. Maybe i should try those Ernie Balls.īuffer circuitry is trivial and inexpensive. In addition to his work with Radiohead, Ed played guitar and provided backing. Bad luck perhaps, but ive on occasion put the reliable 'tone sucking' staggs back in. I recently shelled out for a few brand of medium price flat cables and they started getting immitent.but some moulded plastic Stagg ones seem to have lasted a while. Lets say if its 10% of the length then cheap cables are less important there.īut when they stop working and cut out- now thats much more annoying. If its only three short ones then it the change of capacitance isnt going to matter as much. So it depends how many and what size, of course. Seems counterintuitive if know about capacitors but basically between the +ve and -ve is one giant capacitor acting as one. What we, or at least Jorri and I, were saying is that the cumulative affects of the different capacitance values between different cables used in conjunction would not “hollow” the tone, but would be a sum effect at worst.Ī better experiment would have been for you to examine each individually as you did and then in combination and report how that effected the tone. Different cables have different capacitance values that effect tone, as you witnessed. Oh, I don’t think anyone was denying that. capacitance is the sweet-spot for uncolored tone and the 22AWG oxygen-free copper conductor provides exceptional signal transfer.
