None taken. For me, it's functionality. I have plenty of excellent straight leads. By the third song, the one between my guitar and pedalboard has curled into loops determined to trap my feet. Alternatively, it drapes itself all over my pedals and I'm forever kicking the damn thing away.philly wrote: i dunno.. i just find curly leads and clogs a sort of kitsch retro ironic coupling

Hmm, when did you purchase it? They’re a regular 20 foot cable, scientifically.

A 20m cable is a 20m metre cable, capacitance shouldn't increase because it's curly?jeremyb wrote:Maybe the treble booster was because of the cable!Polar Bear wrote:Brian May was known for curly hair, curly guitar lead and clogs.Slowy wrote: I don't get the reference but I'm sure it won't embiggen me.
I love my coily cables, the practicalities of not tripping over it on stage or in the bedroom when playing make them essential in my mind!
Yep! But it doesn't cut treble any more than a straight cable is the point we're making.jeremyb wrote:But it's about the feel a coily cable gives you, a straight one can't replicate that!
