Things happens in life. Like this strange phenomenon that makes your guitar tone different between when you plug your instrument with a 1 meter cable straight into your amp and when you run 5 meters of cables through a ton of pedals . Strangely you sound smoother in the second case... Thus you buy lots of new high quality cables to try to avoid this... It's a good idea, likely to be deceiving. With a great length of cables, even with very good quality ones, you'd better get a buffer, like the bluffer. The bluffer adapt your instrument impedance is a magical device who will prevent your cables to ruin your magnificent tone. Indeed, the bluffer has been designed to be the most transparent of the universe.
