Danny's ASR "Will you ACCEPT my Challenge?!"

He didn't even try to cleanup the metadata....

A 50' guitar cable? Unless hes using an active guitar, or not using it directly from the guitar it will be a LPF. The cable capacitance (theres always some) into a 1M ohm guitar input will cut the high freqs. And a 50' cable has a lot more potential to pick up noise. So yea I can see different over length guitar cable affect the sound. A 3' interconnect, not so much.

Somewhere in a cable thread here at ASR it was pointed out that electric guitar cables are the one place where cables are designed to have a sound. Because an electric guitar instrument is actually guitar + cable + amp/cab + pedals.

Maybe here, in the Do Fancy Cables Make A Difference? thread.

Just sayin'. I got 'Cunningham's Law'-ed earlier today...

But if the guitar plugs in to the pedal board, then what about the pedal board to amp/cab cable?

Actually, that one is probably always Mogami Gold at whatever length is needed.

Is it somehow me or is this two wav files and an AIF? Oh and the wav files are 48 khz and the AIF 44.1 sample rates? Sorry, my D10B shows that on the front.

EDIT: didn't see boxerfan88's post above. So yes, two file formats, two sample rates and two bit depths. And maybe some other differences.

you called?

DSD sounds better because there aren't little jaggy stairsteps in the output, duh

DSD's more like an escalator, you see...

i sort of accepted the challenge but disappointed it wasn't the rancor scene from return of the jedi

As a guitarist hobbyist, I've never heard that. Guess there is a snake-oil crowd for guitar cables, but in all honesty, I've never encountered anyone or seen any video of anyone fretting about the sound of their guitar cable or using their cable as a tweak lol

In the guitar scene, there's been some debate about 'tonewood' (how wood of an electric guitar can affect sound), or about fret material, but it seems more and more known that other than the pickups and strings, there's not much that makes a difference. But yeah, nobody is fretting about guitar cables, other than having a quality (reliable) cable. But now I can imagine some greedy guy with a moustache and a top hat rubbing his hands with as smirk..

Pedals though, that's another matter... Lots of boutique pedals sold at exorbitant prices, same for amps. But somehow, guitarists managed to duck the snake oil cables fiasco!

Interesting, what sorts of differences do people perceive with fret material changes?

 

[Cbdb2]

Because of the very high impedance of guitar pick ups (and guitar amp inputs) long cables are not recomended, the capacitance of the cable starts to affect the freq response. simple electronics known forever.

Its mostly about the "feel" of the guitar, which affects the way you play which affects the way it sounds.

Fret Sizes and Materials: How They Affect Your Guitar’s Playability

In this article, we take a look at how fret sizes, fret dimensions, and fret materials affect for your guitar’s playability.

Its a block of wood with strings attached, lots of things make an audible difference. One of the big ones is the person playing it.

Then again, it's Bon Jovi.

Some say steel frets sound brighter, difference in feel, etc. Some like them, some don't... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But people never seem to agree on anything, and with guitars, there's so many music styles, playing styles, pedals (compression, distortion, overdrive, boost, etc. some pedals are 'true bypass' while others have a buffer circuit, etc.), pickups (single, humbucker, P90, etc., then coil split, coil tap, series vs parallel, active vs passive, ceramic vs alnico, etc.), amps, cabs, modelers, etc., really a ton of variables, and no real objective criteria, so it's all subjective really.

I've never noticed any tonal difference, but stainless frets feel very, very different from the nickel-silver ones. Much smoother bends and vibrato.

I voted and left comments as instructed by Danny, but he deleted them. Not sure what this guy is trying to prove,

That he’s a disingenuous little shit with a dirty T-shirt.

Anyway, did anyone already put those files though Deltawave?

 

[solderdude]

What a waste of time, internet bandwidth and storage.

It's more of a Vienna Teng plug than anything else.... in his grubby T-shirt...

T-shirt looks grubby.

Looks like his day job is cleaning out the fryers at KFC.

or ready for his debut at hobo fights


this sort of 'performance art' would tend to bring in his entire line of products into doubt
