What brand of cable are you using for guitar to Axe?

Yep, exactly what I have been doing since I can remember... I have tried Belden, Canare, Mogami and some no name brands... always used quality Switchcraft or Neutrik connectors... all worked well, the only difference in sound I ever heard was my piss poor guitar playing... Current cable...

I like the way that you think zentman... After all, when you are listening to a Mesa MKIII with a 412 or a Plexi59 and 412... then that is what you should be hearing, and not "which Axe-Fx" you own. Whilst there might be subtle differences, most people will never know. Its about the tone...
