Lifelines Cable 15 Feet 2-Pack

This Pro Co Instrument Cable's construction is based on transmission line theory. In a nutshell, using a 4-conductor microphone cable to replace a single-conductor guitar cable, Pro Co solders the cable's two red conductors (red and red with white stripe) to the tip on either plug, and then solders the cable's two black conductors (black and black with white stripe) to the ground on either plug. Pro Co then solders the shield to the ground on the amplifier end and lifts the ground (do not solder) on the instrument end. This helps to shunt most of the noise that jumps on the shield to chassis ground before it becomes part of the signal path.

This defends the world from guitar players with noisy single-coil pickups and helps quiet them (the pickups; not the guitar players) down to a usable commodity before the drummer shoots the guitar player. The white end of the audio cable goes into the guitar and the black end of the cable goes into the amplifier.
