Thats because electric guitar has it's meat around 1.8-3k and thats right
where the ear is most sensitive, so most earplugs will color guitar tone

You know where I use them alot? Mowing the lawn, running a skilsaw,
driving
with the windows down. I find I use them more around the house than I do
at
gigs.They have been really handy wherever I'm around loud stuff, that you
normally wouldn't bother putting hearing protection on, because its so
bulky.
I can see why they work so good for drummers- my drummer actually turned
me on
to them. But for playing guitar, they still sound like ear plugs to
me.Even
with the 9 db filters, it seems like way too much. Everything sounds
muffled. I
think the in ear monitors are the only answer.
