Honestly, I like this cable. You plug it in. It doesn't make the loud noise when plugging in. Any noise issues I'm finding are literally from volume adjusting? It really is just a one trick pony and doesn't do very much other than block out the initial noise when plugging in.

I never realized that having a good quality cable for your instrument makes a big difference. When my daughter told me she was having some buzzing and issues with a generic cable with her guitar, I initially thought it was the amp. But my daughter recommended I get a better cable, and that's when I got the Ernie Ball cable, since she's familiar with their guitar strings, she's pretty familiar with the brand. When she used it for the first time, she said it's night and day. Although I'm not a musician, I can hear a difference in how her guitar sounded. The sound was more full and had better quality overall. It was a very noticeable difference.The cable is made well, and there haven't been any issues with buzzing or other problems. It's a great cable, good solid plugs on each end, and the 10ft is perfect for her home practice. I wasn't a believer at first in getting name-brand quality cables until I heard a difference, but now I think having quality equipment can help with practice and keep you engaged in your craft.
