Vari-Cap
Unparalleled Control
Discover a revolutionary solution crafted by Eric Valentine and Larry Jasper, empowering guitarists to control the previously uncontrollable. The Vari-Cap injects new life into the relationship between your guitar and amp, unlocking a vast spectrum of tonal possibilities. Elevate your sound with the best guitar cable for recording, designed for ultimate control.
Why capacitance matters
Almost all of the audible difference between instrument cables comes down to one thing: total capacitance. In coax it is measured per foot, so a longer cable always has more. That is why an expensive cable can sound worse than a cheap one, and why neither low nor high is simply better.
The Vari-Cap builds a miniature hexadecimal encoder into a 10-foot, extremely low capacitance cable, a patented design that gives you 16 settings at your fingertips. At its lowest setting you hear an open sound that keeps all of the upper harmonics. Turn the capacitance up and you get the dark, midrange punch that suits heavily distorted guitars. No more swapping cables to find the right instrument, amp and cable combination.
