Fulltone Cables Here's a genuine user review from Harmony Central - we think it says it all. Sound Quality : 10
I use the following, teles or pauls, valvulator, fuzz factory, volume, vox wah with TB, homebrew comp, hermida zendrive, mxr phase 45, fulldrive2, visual sound h2o, sometimes a deluxe memory man, all into my boogie mark III head and openback 1x12 cab. I have used mogami cable for years, and thought nothing could beat it. I recently needed a new instrument cable, and thought I'd give Mike's version (A Fulltone Cable) a spin. I couldn't believe that it would outdo my old faithfull, but it did. I found the fulltone to have a better midrange response, and the highs to be tamed a bit. I guess it's more of a silky thing in the top end, whereas the mogami has a bit more pronounced high end. To all those thinking cables don't effect your sound, just try plugging straight into a mildly overdriven amp with a bunch of different cables, and see how differently your tone sounds with each. I remember how I thought monster was the best out there till an engineer friend suggested mogami. I couldn't believe how bassy and screechy the monster was compared to the latter. Anyway, check out fulltone, these are some great cables, and $40 ain't bad. I've seen guys spend $400 on a cable!!
That leads me to my final point. I've tried some of the high $$ stuff as well, and, I think Scott Henderson said it best, he talked about how the pricey stuff almost made it seem like you were playing through a wireless. It takes out some of the pleasant midrange that is more friendly to the human ear. I almost felt like the tone was sterile, and didn't have charactor.
Sorry to ramble, but I just can't stress cable integrity enough, and I think it's a drastically overlooked component in any rig.
