Using mic (balanced) cable for guitar

Using mic cable for guitar leads is totally fine. In some cases there's actually an advantage to it.

It's called "telescopic shielding".

You've got the shield and 2 cores yes? Solder core A to the 'tip' on both jacks @ both ends. Solder core B to the 'sleeve' on both jacks @ both ends. Now, on ONE end an\
d one end only, solder the outer shield to core B, and make sure it's isolated from any connections at the other end. Mark the end with the shield tied to ground "amp" \
and the other end "inst". Plug "amp" into amp and "inst" into... the instrument.

This way any EMI the shield picks up will have a lower impedence path to ground at the amp than into the guitar. If the shield is tied to ground @ both ends, some of th\
e noise can go into the ground of the guitar quite easily, and inside the electronics of most guitars it can leak into the signal.

If the shield is untied at the instrument end, the noise has to go down the shield, to the solder join at the amp, and then all the way back up the ground core into the\
instrument, all the while having to try and ignore the nice easy route to ground that's available right at the amps input.

Надо будет попробовать при случае.

They act like antenna's. I had good results with ProCab MC305. It's dead silent, even with metal jacks, whereas an expensive cable with gold jacks hums like crazy and e\
ven picks up a radio station.

ProCab MC305 cable is the best I found. Has excellent shielding. It's cheap too.

Cheap - это по нерезиновой 90 р/метр
