GTR-518

The Hosa GTR-518 connects a guitar or bass to an amp, pedalboard, or interface across 18 ft of woven tweed cable. That length covers a full stage: room to walk out front, step back to the drum riser, and turn around without the cable going tight at the jack.

The plugs are serviceable all-metal barrels, which means they can be opened and resoldered instead of thrown out when a connection eventually fatigues. On a cable that gets stepped on, wrapped, and yanked, that matters more than any spec on the box.

An Oxygen-Free Copper conductor keeps resistance low so the top end reaches the amp intact, and a hi-density OFC braided shield gives stronger EMI and RFI rejection than spiral shielding, which is what you want with single-coil pickups near stage lighting and dimmer packs.

The woven tweed jacket resists tangling, slides off pedal edges instead of catching, and holds up to being coiled and stuffed in a gig bag show after show. Straight plugs on both ends suit top-mounted guitar jacks and amp inputs.
