You won't notice any difference unless you're playing neo soul cleans.

Exactly. If you have it plugged in backwards, and using a light chorus effect, then the sine wave will be inversely proportional and tone will be all boogered up.

Discussions like that are why the tan pants crowd never make it past the rehearsal room stage.

This thread is precious. The 1.5ish volts that is sent from the guitar to the amp is somehow changing the structure of the wiring to flow directionally...

I think there are levels of crazy on the guitar forum.

But for me, Pickups matter, amps matter, speakers matter, and technique matters. Past that, you have pedals and guitar cables that are pretty important tonewise. If you are going smaller than that, you may just want to practice more because that will literally get you more results than rabbithole crazy

The crystal lattice of electrons running through tubes is what matters most.

Up next, power cables making a tonal difference. What's messed up is a really good engineer demonstrated it to me firsthand at his studio once. I'd rather play my guitar than get that OCD about stuff but inductance is a real phenomena.

Pretty much sums it up

Someone should make "directional" instrument cables by putting arrows on the ends indicating the signal direction; charge 5x or more in price and ka-ching!

Before my permaban from TGP many years ago, I remember a discussion, maybe more than one, on power cords and how they can change your tone / improve your tone.

....and let's not forget, they're also the "crystal lettuce" crowd

Electricity is what makes it go. I can see it making a difference. My tone is so locked in, though. Now I just need to improve the fingers. Not really concerned about anything external.

Just saw this thread on TGP, can't believe it has this many posts

Those are rookie numbers.. have you seen some of the pointless threads in OTC?

I just looked at a four page thread of some dude who can't decide what guitar to take to a blues jam. If you can't figure that out on your own please don't go to a blues jam smh

Oh, I'll take your word for it!

I hate monster cables. Biggest POS cables I've ever owned.

Guitar to up my ass or going from up my ass to amplifier makes a HUGE difference. For this I prefer high crapacitance cables.
