Ex-pro's Extra-Thick Shield This is a FA series straight/straight 3m cable. It's the flagship model of Ex-pro cables. When I bought it, I switched from a cheaper shield, and it felt like it had been lightly boosted. It's like the one control purple humper or villex passive booster of today. However, because it's an extra-thick cable, it was difficult to handle, so I switched to the FL series and am now selling this one. I used it for 1-2 years in live performances and rehearsals. ※Note※ I stored it in a figure-eight wrap, but please be aware that the cable has some kinks due to its nature. I checked the operation when listing it, and there were no problems. Please purchase only if you understand that this is a used item. I hope you can think of it as aged. No returns or exchanges. Non-smoking, no pets environment. From the manufacturer's website: //////////////////////////////////////////// Extra-thick 8Φ diameter cable! This cable, the flagship model of Ex-pro cables, has a diameter of 8φ to transmit the dynamic range of the instrument to the amplifier and recording equipment without losing it as much as possible. The extra-thick cable allows you to experience the power and wide range, making the original sound of the guitar clearer. Humbuckers have good low-mid range clarity, and singles have clear high frequencies, and you can feel a certain amount of overtones. It is especially suitable for sounds that use a lot of distortion. Conversely, it also works well with keyboards that have a lot of information without distortion. Adding nothing, losing nothing, 100% transmission "To convey the delicate tones and nuances created by the player and the instrument honestly" is the absolute theme of Ex-pro cables. No extra flavoring! We want to convey 100% of the tone character of the instrument and the player's feeling... It is a high-spec cable that supports all electric instruments and all genres and styles. http://ex-pro.co.jp/product/fa-series/
