I was at the Summer NAMM in Nashville this year, and I actually saw it and got one. It’s the coolest ever! They have lots of artists playing with it like Dweezil Zappa, Motorhead – Phil Campbell, Victor Wooten, and lots more.
Genius idea and it sounds great!

Tweed… EJ is infamous for his extra keen ear being able to detect tonal nuances that don’t register with us mere mortals. Reminds me of dogs being able to hear a “silent” whistle.

Strato – I’ve got a MacBook Pro, and I must admit that the quick release power cord is a definite lifesaver. It just comes right off.

Apple came up with that idea for laptop cables, so that in case your cord was across an aisle or hi-traffic area, it would quick disconnect if someone tripped into it. Then your laptop wouldn’t fly of the desk and hit the floor.

Glad to hear follow-up on the zzyzx guitar jacks. I’d heard of them too, but not from anyone using them.

Cool!!

Thanks for the tip. I’ve been looking to try some new cables. Cables always seem to be the last link in that tone chain to which any attention is paid (and incorrectly so, I might add…) I’ve never heard of these either, but I did read an article in which Eric Johnson touted the superiority of gold-plated jacks vs. conventional jacks.
