I just bought an amp for the electric guitar I received for Christmas. It is a Blackheart Class A tube amp with on/off and volume only. So, picking out a nice reverb (MXR M169 Carbon Copy Analog Delay Guitar Effects Pedal) I need a patch cable. The site (guitarcenter.com) has a $39 1.5' Monster Cable Studio Pro 1000 Instrument Cable (balanced) and a $32 3' Mogami Gold Studio (Unbalanced) 1/4" to 1/4" Patch Cable with Neutrik Plugs.
Curiously, Mogami claims to be the most common cable found in
recording studios. "Virtually every major recording facility in the world is wired with Mogami cable." If this is true, then most recording studios are wired with unbalance cable. Do you think it is just the cost? The Mogami are very expensive for unbalanced...
