Product Image
Product Name
Guitar / Keyboard / instrument Cable
Model Number
GS-6
A specially designed Oxygen Free Copper 18 AWG cable for connecting Guitar/Bass or Keyboards to amps, mixers, effects pedals and all outboard signal processing gear. Low capacitance and low series resistance provides improved frequency response (flat to 50kHz). A bright, ringing characteristic sound is preserved, even when using HI-Z guitar pickups with long cable runs. The proprietary double Carbon/Braid Copper shield construction eliminates microphonic handling noise, especially on stage where amps are often set at maximum volume levels. Also highly recommended for Amp Head to Speaker Cabinet leads.
Applications
  • Electronic Instruments
  • Hi-Fi Interconnects
  • Test Probes
  • Audio Patch Cords
  • AMP to Cabinet Leads

Features
  • Stays Flexible even in Sub-Zero Weather
  • Oxygen Free Copper Conductor & Shield
  • Reduced Microphonic Handling Noise
  • Low Capacitance & Resistance
