Title: Special cables for buffered effects loop? Post by: revgsmall on September 19, 2011, 03:17:39 PM I read it hear somewhere but now I can't seem to find it. I have a Brown Note with a built in buffered effects loop. I was thinking of picking up a TC Electronics Nova System which would require me to run long cables to/from the send/return.
A brief why would be appreciated and if so, where can I purchase said special cords? Thanks in advance. Title: Re: Special cables for buffered effects loop?

But what you read is those talking about the short runs to and from their non-buffered loop on the amp to the buffered loop (ie: C-lator/D-lator) outside the amp. Also I beleive they may also use them in short runs to and from the effects in the buffered loop. But only short runs. This is done to try to micro-manipulate loss and also frequency response. It would be my opinion that in your situation dealing with long runs to and from your effects that just a good quality relatively low capacitance shielded guitar/instrument cable would be the thing to use.
