MogamiSilver 1/4" Straight Instrument Cable - 18 ft.
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An 18-foot unbalanced instrument cable with straight plugs at both ends. For a player who wants one cable from guitar to amp and no rattles.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Guitar or bass to amp on a small to mid-size stage
- Keys or a pedalboard output to an amp input
- Replacing a cable that crackles when you move
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Microphone or balanced line runs — this is unbalanced
- Top-mounted Strat-style jacks, where a straight plug protrudes
- Short pedal-to-pedal hops; 18 feet is far too long
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
18 ft. length
Covers a club stage with room to step back. Every extra foot of unbalanced cable adds capacitance and shaves a little treble.
Detail 03
Straight plugs on both ends
Sticks straight out of the jack. Side-mounted jacks are fine; a top-mounted guitar jack means the plug stands proud.
Detail 04
Black jacket
Disappears on a dark stage, which also means it disappears when you are looking for it in a pile of gear.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One cable only — a pedalboard needs patch cables too
- 02Straight ends; buy right-angle if your jack is top-mounted
- 03Coil over-under from day one to keep the jacket from twisting
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will 18 feet dull my tone?
Any unbalanced cable adds capacitance with length, and 18 feet is a common stage length. Most players do not hear a difference against a shorter cable through an amp.
02Can I use it for a microphone?
No. This is an unbalanced instrument cable. Microphones need a balanced XLR cable.
03Does it work for bass as well as guitar?
Yes. Bass, guitar, keys, and pedal outputs all use the same 1/4" unbalanced connection.
04Straight or right-angle for my guitar?
This one is straight at both ends. Right-angle suits top-mounted jacks like a Strat; straight is fine for side-mounted jacks on a Les Paul or Tele.
