SnapJack Cable
Cable and a George L’s with exceptional for musicians who want to switch between
results. Low frequenc ies were tight and instruments/amps quickly, or who are
highs were sparkly and clear. As another always tripping (on cables).
bonus, when the SnapJack’s connection is
broken, it does not generate the loud, speaker-destroying hum of
a normal cord. This
opened up a range
of possibilities; by
placing the additional
ends in several of my guitars,
I was able to change guitars rapidly and quietly at gigs. This is also a great
way to protect your guitars and amps from
those with clumsy feet.
BY KENNY RARDIN With so many instrument cables on the market today, it is hard
to justify another offering unless it’s something special. The SnapJack, a cable that
detaches in the event of excessive stress,
certainly falls into that category.
The example I received was a dual straight
end cord, with a separate package of two
angled ends. The ends attach magnetically
to the cord, leading to my first – and obvious – question, “How hard will I have to
pull to break the connection?” Several of
my companions tried to pull the plug ends
off in a straight-line motion, to no avail.
But once we tried breaking the connection
at an angle, the secret was out. This magic
trick is accomplished through the use of
super-strong neodymium magnets and a
little magnetic polarity voodoo, keeping
the ends firmly in place unless pulled at
an angle.
It’s unlikely that anyone will find this cable
to be tonally inferior to other cables – it
stood up to testing against a Monster
I’ve had one client complain about a
SnapJack accidentally coming apart while
on stage, but since I was previously doing
a jack repair every month for him, and
haven’t done one since the SnapJack’s
introduction, I consider it a win [the folks at
SnapJack say they have introduced a new
locking system to prevent snapping during
live performances]. This cord is a must-have
