All user reviews for the Monster Cable Guitare Rock

I finally decided to buy a monster cable, calm price a little but once you bough his guitar with the beast, one is more content to the financial effort that has just 'carry out.

Dj jack while gold has much bling bling tape has it, what we like is that the branch redfinis the sound perfectly, with a low jack range or made is very bad, the sound takes another turn and becomes extremely prcis is quite impressive.

Less ... well rather less, like what the cable attnue the electromagnetic waves and all the other sorry I have more names in head, thank you the b ^^ mensongre pub.

The quality money personally I find it excellent because I was paying 53 instead of 67
So forcment was still expensive for a jack, but it is reasonable for the sound that arrives to obtain.

With experience, yes I would choose, the problem you just go on course to say dpenser about 60 euro for a jack. A bit better than the planet waves (dj -C those are not bad counted about 30 euro), it's downright stunning, and makes the sound more pleasant and prcis.

10 years of use unfortunately. So I'll be a little hasty and radical but these cables are not worth Tripette. And that at that time I was starting out and I thought I needed the stuff that supposedly Slash, Joe Perry and company were using. Yeah, must believe the pros; they experience them, etc ... What a mistake! I'm sure I got rid of very good pedal because it does not distinguishable in the mix because of those damn cables m§ @ & *! I discovered almost by accident by selling my guitar ESP Eclipse I was disappointed to purchase a Gibson USA Standard (what a gem!) That its all my fault and without clarity or dark terrain were not my guitar or my belongings but those damn cables which sold over a fortune (they unsuspecting guys). This is actually gradually removing my patch Planet Waves cables one by one I realized how a simple cable chow sound. Then try I bought the Mogami 2524 cable by the meter (you'll laugh) at ... € 3.20 meter with Neutrik jacks on audiophonics.fr website (very serious and fast seller) that I weld myself. I thought at worst it will not cost me much to try. Race results, I quickly sold my Monster Cable cables (sorry to say) to ignorant fans who go too much hassle to ask why their sound is awful. So again Monster Cable is not worth half the price they charge. It's a shame Marketing World Company avoid emergency. I finally rediscovered how sounds a delay or reverb in an effects loop (I'm ashamed to say) but it's true. So, I had to say because it seems to me essential to be aware of these simple things that greatly improve your sound without breaking the bank.

I used about 1 month history to get a reliable idea.
I had already made a post, I resumed

Yes, I had some planet waves custom and breakes circuit.

Low in comparison seemed larger and better maintained, with an overall much better balance for the Rock, he just has a cleverly made "fake" in particular sound made absolutely neutral and designed as like headphones Marshall!

Which become a little quality or defect with the equipment with which it is associated, but the cable has its much more important than the guitar signal is based on small intensities / levels and the impedance is also significant importance is the cable is an integral link in the hifi as ds to an association!

Since I switched to Mogami 2524, which is actually transparent and details go to all levels and incomparable dynamics, but quite difficult to weld properly at the plug (it is a cable that does not especially enjoy the heat of soldering iron qq little longer and melts its speed flexible ducts.

We fear regret segmentation products monster cables and other jazz and rock, as if a good cable should be conceived and designed according to its characteristics and special typed use! ...

This rock as specific modèes Monster seems to be more pure marketing and it's a bit disappointing Monster hand who knows how high cable fly the PC1000 eg. to a whole new price and quality!

R / P / Q so honest just okay.
In conclusion, at the price it is offered, it does its job properly, it's not a top of the line cable should not expect that.

But I strongly moderate the enthusiasm of some forumers who cry engineering using this cable, and have not been able to try something more upscale than yellow or planet waves cables and cie eg ....

Having tasted the Mogami, a brand reputation in the studios and particularly in Japan, which has always been overall very successful in its products

I can say, you'll understand that I do NOT do it again the choice of Rock, and without exaggerating when I could compare with Mogami I have sold pronto.

Mogami really sounds much better, and even better even on a basic 20w amp (transistor years 70/80 's Marathon but still a very good base modest but very good quality in sound grain)!

His record has nothing to do because there is no longer as practically almost majority of cables nickname standards, sound clusters centered on some of the mids with nothing or lower or higher and a depth / spacialisation non-existent and respect for fidelity sound of the guitar

This is for once, with a contribution Mogami with greater bandwidth at all levels, more details, transparency, dynamics and overall increased accuracy thus a radical change and even being very demanding sound reproduction, this is not just a passing fad!

With it, it looks like it would be like if we had raised the overall level of quality, as if it had changed category level guitar.

for 2/3 days

I had addario, fender and custom, and was able to lend me the Monster rock.

Two findings:

1) it must be connected to a good gear so suffisemment transparent and dynamic, the ideal all-tube amp where it will express all the subtleties and fine musicianship.
I said this because a user transistor amp with a definition and a dynamic medium, it will not do miracles and expect more, what the Rock is connected.

I have an amp transistor still quite transparent Marathon RG20 eg., And the Fender custom cable gave me a more successful balance with more medium and edgier, who married comparatively better than the Monster as what the balance total may vary depending on config.

There is no doubt in a matter of bandwidth that allows the Monster to express a better amp lamp hp & 12 'on one amp to transistos hp with 8', logically it does not access the with maximum quality that allows the monster!

Where some disappointments for those who have waited ... maybe more than expected, it's a bit if we had a super bad amp with speakers, the level will never exceed that of the weakest link then. the less efficient ..

The sound on my Carvin is very good and has increased significantly in quality is crisp and clear, accurate, robust bodied but not heavy, however, and it seems that it is no fault or colorings which are premium in the end, the overall sound is much better than current cables.

The rigid side does not bother me except, as I do not need all the length I left a coiled portion, and when there is a bad ca meaning the side is a little stiff enbetant, otherwise no worries.

It seemed to me that the level is a little higher or is it because of the tonal balance compared to the most common cables.

I do not know if the sound balance is completely neutral in this series labeled "Rock" (COMPARED TO SP1000 upscale Monster) ... and if this one has a specific tonal balance .... but it works both clean big crunch or distortion (serie rock)

THE R / Q / P s still excellent, but beware of the quality level of gear, BUT do not transcendra inadequate system performance.

I can not find much cheap (just double the a Fender custom cable) after 1000 Sp 6m is € 150 and it looks frankly there thinking .... what is the game worth it? ilya something to think about

How long have you use it?

I used it for a short time, a few rehearsals (maybe 5 or 6) and two concerts.

What is so special that you love the most, least?

Too stiff, painful enough to the guitar pedals.
on the other hand, it remains rolled up and easily stored.

How would you rate the quality / price?

It's much too expensive!
I use cable € 10 room that I use for over 10 years and I still do not let go.
Here after some repeats and some concert, I had to replace it with a stupid cable € 10.
I move very little and takes care of my equipment but now 60 € for two concerts ...
The sound is slightly better (that is minimal compared to everything I've read) and it does not justify such a price.
I thought I saw it would hold its rigidity but no. I would not recommend it. Invest € 60 elsewhere!

With experience, you do again this choice?
No, never!

I have this cable for 3 months that I use with my Start.
His best quality is its beauty as a $ 60.00 Canadian there best on the market for less. I was tempted by the advertising in magazines Specializes. I read in Guitar Player magazine in May a test on 49 Cables and unfortunately there are less expensive that are better, the silent test of 5 points
(Shimmer, girth, punch, noise and vibe) but I'm even trs satisfied with my purchase because I find it gives a nice lock to my fender and the sound is made trs good (because even if it ranks well trs).
Everything has to say it as good for cheaper but that does not give the look of the Monster cable so I would do this choice. Because the price is my rating of 7.

Since good ten years that I'm doing the guitar / bass, I was a bit fed up of having cables cheap, like Yellow Cable.
So I thought, even buy a cable, as it is good. So I did a little tour of topics dealing with cables, and it appeared roughly three brands 'high end': ProCo, and Monster Cable Evidence Audio.
I liked the ProCo not too look at the Evidence Audio seemed a chouillas too expensive, and I liked the face of Monster Cables. In addition, I could find on the web 35th so it was all good.

Level manufacturing quality, we feel that it's heavy: the cable is thick (and indeed quite rigid, it can irritate some people, for my part I do not care a bit. That is as flexible a garden hose, to get an idea), the connectors seem well made, the set is very heavy, short, it exudes quality!
The gold plating, I believe in half ... I trimballe neutrik cables from 5 / 6 years I never had a problem with stuttering due to the oxidation ... But hey, it could be a plus.

The level I have not listen enough trained to be able to make a clear difference with my old jack (good for last I used it in the Sommer Cable Neutrik, the quality that was already correct). I will not revive a debate that could talk forever about the differences in sound between a particular cable (see all topics on AF!)

So the same, price level, it hurts: in my 35th but on average it 45/50e ... For some this is heresy to many Thune in a cable (see here also the subjects of AF, especially this one:
In my case, it does not bother me more than that from the moment we have the dosh to put in the jacks and the quality is at the appointment. It's all about how ...
In addition, the cables are guaranteed for life: that is to say that if the cable starts to blow up, the connection merdoie, hop back on here and it receives a new one. So even the 50th for something that lasts a lifetime, it is still not negligible: at once the price becomes quite "relative".

The price / quality ratio for me is "improvable", but hey, you just need to be aware at the time of purchase. There are cables with a better (see if one or even its cables, the report is incomparable).

With experience, yes I would do this choice, without much hesitation. The sound is good and as said above, it is guaranteed for life!
However, I would see something elsewhere, in competition (ProCo and Evidence), see what it looks like too

I decided to try ... Until then, the price had always held back, a jack that price when we know what he will undergo ... But there, I decided to try.
I'll spare you the characteristics between the formulas patented, ultra-resistant shaft components and so we say that the price comes from.
In appearance it is a very strong cable, the gold-plated jack obviously have the air of good quality, but nothing exceptional either. I unscrewed to see, and it is the traditional welding with heat-shrink sleeve top ... as usual ..
But when I plugged in the Bignou amp, I thought that I made a joke. I felt suddenly playing with a guitar with active electronics. Quite simply, I had to drop a notch on my master Trilogy to stay at the same level as before during rehearsals.
How could I play with another cable before? I was in the dark and the light just appear to me!
I downside? Well you say right away that if it's the same for all other cables that are used, there is still much to do to improve the sound quality of all ...

I highly recommend this purchase at first. Unless I loose in 2 months, in this case I will post a negative opinion, because at that price, it is an investment of at least 10 years!

For sound, go for it, my eardrum exploded at saturation of all the audience ...!

Monster Rock instrument cables are well crafted and use high quality materials. Monster has all sorts of fancy jargon to talk up their product, such as:

MicroFiber® inner dielectric provides better isolation of magnetic fields for improved harmonic detail.
•Multiple Time Correct® windings phase align signal for natural reproduction of midrange frequencies.
•24k 1/4" gold contact connectors with collar strain relief are durable and corrosion resistant.
•Extra-flexible Duraflex® outer jacket for superior reliability and cut resistance.
•IsoTec® vibration isolation technology further reduces handling noise.

(The above specs were taken from the Monster website, of course)

What does all that mean to a working musician? Well, they are built tough, and sound great.
Though, the best thing about buying a Monster product is the lifetime warranty. Buy the cable, keep the receipt and if your singer steps on the connector and breaks it, or they just wear out over time, bring it back to the store and get a new one, no questions asked (usually). I have run into a couple of dopey sales people that didn't understand the warranty and gave me some trouble, but eventually I got my new cables.

I've never actually had one fail on me. I just like to get fresh ones every so often. I often hear people bash Monster and say that their whole sales strategy is a scam and that their products are crap. I disagree. Yes, they are a bit overpriced, but as a gigging guitarist, I like the idea of being able to throw my cables in my road cases and not have to worry about buying new ones if they fail. (which they have yet to do)

Before using Monster, I was using a combination of Spectraflex cables and some home-made cables that I made out of cheap materials. The Spectraflex cables look really cool with the woven jacket, but I've had more than one BRAND NEW Spectraflex patch cable cause my signal to cut out when pressure was put on the ends of the wire near the connectors. That's not cool. Also, it seems that the Spectraflex cables weren't allowing all of the frequencies to be heard from my guitar and amp. I actually got so used to the boxy, heavy mid sound that when I first plugged in using my new Monster Rock cable, I didn't like it. It was as if my sound was too big. A lot of lows and highs were coming through that weren't before. I quickly got used to the new and improved tone and now I love the pristine and clear character I get from my instrument and rig! I am currently using and abusing a couple 12 footers, a 21 footer and several patch cables depending on what rig I'm playing.

The handling noise, or the noise when moving around on stage or physically bumping, moving or stepping on the cable is much reduced now also compared to my previous cables. The Monster Rock has a very sturdy and thick outer jacket that looks and feels solid and provides minimal unwanted noise.

I've tested other cables and read plenty of reviews of higher priced cables that claim to be superior to the Monsters, but for my needs Monster Rock cables deliver consistently clear and punchy tone night after night and I have the peace of mind that the warranty is there to back up my purchase. If you run a pro studio, I'd recommend buying the absolute top of the line cables that money can buy, but if you want a great sound and a reliable product with a great warranty, the Monster is a smart buy.

These are a pretty excellent cable. In fact, they have some of the most expensive and advanced materials in their construction. Also, far more care is placed into manufacturing each cable than is typical of manufacturers like Horizon or other, cheaper cable companies.
Another positive thing that these cables have going for them is that they are warranty protected (at least in the United States, I don't know about Europe or Asia, or even if these are available in those continents.) A good consumer who saves receipts and continuously shops at the same music store will only have to buy one cable, and then can replace it whenever the cable that he or she bought wears out or stops working perfectly. However, I've noticed that these cables don't really start to fail that quickly, in fact they last a really long time.
I will say this, however. I work at a really high-end studio, and I noticed that we don't carry Monster cables. When it comes to sound quality, they are probably better, but not noticeably so. We use far cheaper cables than Monsters at the studio. We do, however, have the advantage of having a desk in the back where we can solder them in case they break, and we can basically rebuild them when they fail.
I'd only recommend this to somebody who has neither the time nor the ability to solder their own cables. A professional who tours constantly might not benefit from this as the warranty only applies to the store where you originally bought the cable. If you are in another city and need a new cable you'll need to shell out money again. An amateur who plays locally, on the other hand, would benefit greatly. In short, it's only a certain person who'd benefit greatly from this type of cable, but it's arguably perfect for that kind of customer. Studios should stick to cheaper options that they can fix themselves.
