 TheGigRig's mission is to optimise every aspect of the signal path from guitar to amp. The Z Cable is the final piece of the puzzle - in more ways than one. It sits at the end of your signal chain and, to put it simply, tricks your amp into thinking it's seeing the signal direct from your guitar.

As anybody will tell you, a great amp will sound its best when you just plug your guitar straight in and play. The basic principles of pickup and amp design haven't changed much in half a century, and great tone is still all about the interaction of string and pickup coil, brought to life by a fine amplifier. But when you put a bunch of stompboxes, rack effects, buffers and transistors in between, the vibrant detail and musical complexity of the original guitar signal can soon be lost.

That's where the Z Cable comes in. No matter how cluttered your effects chain, place the Z Cable at the end of it and, by mimicking the complex behaviour of a guitar pickup, this unique, ingenious device will send your amp a signal that is almost identical to what comes out of your guitar. The results are nothing short of revolutionary, bringing back all the sparkle, detail and depth of the original guitar signal.

For anyone who has ever found that plugging in all their favourite effects leaves their guitar sounding small, this is the answer. Instead of having to make a choice between big tone and cool effects, now you can have your cake and eat it too - with the Z Cable, you can use all the effects you want without having to compromise on tone. Even if you're not a pedal junkie, the Z Cable ensures optimum amp performance in any situation. It is, quite simply, the last word in great tone!

Features:

Reactance control: use this knob to fine-tune the Z Cable's performance to match the sound of your guitar, from warm and round to bright and sharp. This single control makes getting back the true tone of your guitar incredibly simple.

Cable switch: use this rotary switch to select the length of guitar cable you want the Z Cable to imitate, with settings for long, medium or short cables or active output (no cable simulation).

Ins & Outs: standard quarter-inch jack input, XLR output. An XLR to standard jack cable is included, with three length options - Studio (4 metres), Stage (8 metres) and Stadium (12 metres). The XLR jack locks in place for added security, and the Patent Applied For Z Cable technology ensures that there's absolutely no audio loss between the Z Cable unit and your amp no matter what length of cable you choose.

Power: the Z Cable is powered by a standard, Boss-style 9V DC, centre-negative mains adaptor, so it can be powered from the same supply as your pedals

Dimensions: Measuring just 11cm x 6.5 cm x 4 cm, the Z Cable unit will fit on even the busiest of pedalboards. It's the small box that guarantees big tone!
