Van Damme Silver Series 55pF Low Capacitance Guitar Cable. 268-900-055

The Silver Series range comprises 3 unbalanced instrument cables engineered to have three specific capacitances. They are primarily for use for guitar and bass guitar to amplifier applications. The construction of these cables utilises a no compromise approach to materials and electrical characteristics; consequently flexibility is not a priority and these cables are aimed at recording rather than live performance. The range comprises the following cables:

• Lo-Cap 55: 55 p/F per metre. Low capacitance figure gives low high frequency roll off (featured here)
• Flat-Cap 90: 90 p/F per metre. Mid range capacitance figure gives average high frequency roll off
• Hi-Cap 125: 125 p/F per metre. Higher capacitance figure gives more high frequency roll off
