Default The Great Guitar Cable Myth?

You must put the inductance in there, otherwise you get no resonant
peak.



** As I'm sure you already know, magnetic guitar pick ups have a large resonant peak without any additional cable capacitance.

Plus, cable capacitance is pretty much isolated from the PU if the volume pot is not turned most or all the way up.

One it is, the resonant frequency will drop by maybe an octave or two.

BTW:

It's simple to add a FET follower preamp to an electric guitar or bass and render cable noise and capacitance moot.

Guitar makers must think there is no good reason to do so.
