I was wondering. Usually a 1/4 cable starts suffering tone loss above 18' some ppl say even less. Is this true of humbuster cables too since they are balanced?
A humbuster cable is constructed using a balanced cable
A cable is not "balanced". It is how the signal is sent/received that makes it balanced, or not.
The tone loss you're referring to only applies to high z signals, e.g. from a passive guitar pickup.
So if I have a passive pickup with a humbuster cable that's 20' long, I will get tone loss?

Maybe. But "passive pickup with a humbuster cable" suggests otherwise.He's not using the humbuster for his guitar. He means running a 20ft humbuster to his powered wedge on stage
Now I get it.I meant Axe out to powered wedge with a 20 foot cable, but happened to use a guitar with passive pickups.
Since passive pickups were mentioned I thought it had something to do with the overall tone loss.
