I've noticed recently that I got too many different cables I randomly bought over the years. Mostly no-names but also one MONSTERRRRRR
Now I want to stick to one brand to keep my tone consistent. But before I spend some quid for quality cables, I'd like to address the "tone sucking" issue. I'm no expert but as far as I'm concerned the two main factors causing this problem are the capacitance and the length of a cable, right? Then I need to know what capacitance at which length allows me to run the guitar signal unaltered before it hits the buffer pedal.
I'm eyeing two German suppliers - Cordial Cables and Sommer Cable. Both have fairly good reputation and I was also able to find the capacitance value: 88 pF per meter. They claim its low - so be it.
But I don't know whether it's low enough to run a 6m (20') cable from guitar to buffer.
Can someone educate me on this matter? I can of course grab a shorter cable but I'd like to have some room on stage.
