I was MD for an artist a few whiles ago, and we were doing auditions for guitar players to put on the road. A guy came in who obviously liked the herb, and liked it enough to get loaded up for an 11 AM audition.
The techs roll his rig in, he gets set up, plugs in, and the most god-awful buzz starts coming through his little amp. He, of course, starts bitching about the bad power in the rehearsal studio. We, of course, kindly point out that they are running very clean power, as evidenced by fact that nobody else is rattling the hell out of their speaker cones.
At this point, somebody notices that his guitar chord looks is wrapped from tip to tip in various pieces of electrical tape, that there is some serious fraying and kinking. Somebody kindly suggests that he might want to try another guitar cable, and hands him one.
"F* No! All of the cables made today are shit! My guitar cable is vintage analog; today all the cables are digital. This one is so much warmer."
And there you have it folks. If you wanna really rock, go get yourselves some "vintage analog" cables.
