Guitar cable has one small gauge lead for the hot, and a ground shield, it’s for tiny signals, from your guitar PU’s. Speaker wire is 2 equal gauges of wire....big difference!

On the subject of volume pedals, the best thing I bought for my Marshall DSL1 head & 1x12 was the JHS Little Black Amp Box. I was pretty disappointed with this amp at bedroom levels because the bass kept farting out and the 0.1 W setting didn’t sound good and was still very loud for a condo. That JHS LBAB totally changed it all! Could probably use a volume pedal but it’s more susceptible to bumps and nudges.

@firemarshal2629 3 жыл бұрын
I would recommend anyone with a loud amp check out the JHS black box. It’s essentially a master volume for amps that lack run. Dime your amp then run it through your effects loop, turn it to a reasonable level yet keep the tone. Best part is it doesn’t require a power supply or battery. Plus it’s like 40 bucks. Definitely something to look into if you don’t have a proper practice amp at home.

Best utility pedal I've ever bought is the Earthquaker Swissthings pedal, way more then just a ab/y pedal wow. Totally simplified my setup, got rid of some noise issues I had and has 2 effects loops built it (1 buffered &1 nonbuffered). Also a built in adjustable 20db clean boost. I needed a ab/y pedal for my amps I run in stereo, a Carvin X50B with 4x12 cab and a Marshall jcm800 4010 combo, I ended up with so much more from this pedal, definitely the pedal you need that you never knew about!

One you missed is a cab grabber i got mine for Birmingham PMT especially if you are micing the amp up and don’t want to use your DI input . Brilliant invention and no need for a massive normal mic stand which I see guitarist using live all the time . Just be mindful that if you get a amp stand it will point your amp in the direction of your mic stand if your a singer which will create bleed into the vocal mic. This annoys sound engineers who like quiet stages to avoid feedback issues . Especially important if you are a singer / guitarist . Just get some wheels for your amp or if you have the money get a hard flight case built it looks more professional and your whole amp will be protected .Best thing I’ve done . Plus you don’t need an amp cover . Trust me it’s worth it spend the money . Van damme cables - all the fender cables I’ve ever used have gone on me in a live setting which is embarrassing . Cables are important and you can get them custom built (right angles and straight Jack inputs ) from a site on google based in the UK. Another informative video. Thank you AB switches are good for different amps if your back can take more than one amp to each gig or your roadie (who has these ?) doesn’t mind carrying loads of equipment . Ps - if any ‘jealous guitarist’ plays with your settings without your permission you have the guitarist community permission to introduce them to your fist- no one should touch your gear without your permission. If they do ask to have a go on their girlfriend or something precious they hold dear like their car. Watch their face drop with the realization they are indeed a rude idiot . 🙏✊

One thing to note about cables is that the longer they are, the more high end you lose due to capacitance. So the coily cables have more distance to travel for a given length of cable, and are going to sound darker than the straight ones

If there are 2 black cables (or any other colour) with identical connectors; how do you tell which is a speaker cable, and which is a guitar cable? I am sure there are a few other people out there would like to know, but won't ask. Might be a topic for another video. Cheers, and happy Christmas. x

You can usually unscrew the tip and look at the wires, if it is two thick wires it's a speaker cable, if they're braided or shielded it's a instrument cable

Poorly made cable could short the 2 sides. = amplifier melt down, wanna kill a tube amp? Use a shorted speaker cable! But minimum 14 ga. It matters! that gauge requires the large body 1/4” plugs, make your own cable, much cheaper, don’t strangle your tone with small gauge speaker cable
