    FM9 not allowed?

    Keep in mind that the average hourly rehearsal facility does not provide an audio engineer to operate the dinky PAs in the rehearsal rooms. You get four walls, maybe some carpet, a powered mixer and two passive 1x15 cabs with 1" horn drivers in plastic enclosures. It's strictly self-serve.

    OK, What's The Real Answer When It Comes To Cables?

    For guitar cables, the only electrical factor that really matters is capacitance, usually measured in picofarads per foot (pf/ft). The lower the capacitance, the less effect the cable will have on your guitar tone. http://www.shootoutguitarcables.com/guitar-cables-explained/capacitance-chart.html

    This is a very old topic on the Fractal Audio forum, but I think it's good to revisit it for review. If you're used to 100W of tube power into a 16-ohm cab, then you should probably consider a SS amp that can deliver 500W-600W (bridged) - or more - into 8 ohms. The reasons for this are...
