After being so pleased with my Colossal instrument and speaker cables, I just had to try upgrading the wire in my cabinets. I'm fortunate to have two identical 4x12 cabinets so I was able to A/B them at length, one outfitted with the Purist and the other with generic, 14 awg stranded copper wire of unknown origin. Simply put, the Purist speaker harness sounds superior, not just a little better, but superior to my other cabinet. I must note these cabs sounded identical prior to the upgrade & now I can't wait to get started on the other one. How does it sound superior you ask? Well, the low frequencies extend lower than before, the midrange is smoother/more pleasing and the highs extend higher than before with a pronounced silky sheen that actually improved the cabinet's projection. The improvements continue with a punchier less compressed feel, slightly more volume and a satisfying increase in that desirable, hard to describe "alive" or "responsive" tactile response that all tone obsessed guitarists crave. The speakers in the upgraded cab sound like improved versions of those in the unchanged cabinet but in reality, all the speakers are identical and the improvement is in the Purist wire. If you're currently happy with your tone yet wonder if it could be even better, then the Purist speaker harness is for you!

I recently placed a large order (8 cables covering most of the Colossal lineup!) and couldn't be happier. After reading the various reviews on this site I must absolutely concur with everyone's findings. These cables are the real deal, so natural sounding and an absolute joy to play through. Before I proceed to the reviews, let me state this: I believe there is more to a cable's performance than merely it's capacitance measurements. Many folks out there say only capacitance matters. My own findings tell me otherwise. To give a quick example, I have some Mogami Platinum and George L's cables in the same lengths. They have almost identical capacitance measurements but couldn't possibly sound more dissimilar to each other (and to the Colossal cables for that matter). At any rate, I'm just glad that these Colossal cables have elevated my tone to levels that the aforementioned other two brands (and others!) could not.

Brooklyn - pronounced, aggressive midrange detail while retaining a full, yet very tight fast tracking bottom end and defined high end. Despite this cable's tight and focused response, there is a certain liquidity to the feel that makes difficult passages a bit easier to execute. As with the…

David,

My Collings OM1 sounds great, using an LR Baggs Anthem,
via the new Low Cap' Sweet Fats, directly into a Hughes & Kettner Era1.
Lows and Low Mids are full, not to mention, nice and tight. Mids, High Mids and Highs
are clean and High Def', which they need to be.
Especially Good, Barehanded. Big and Bold. Fully Transparent...and Dead Quiet.

Thanks again for the speedy repair on the old, original Sweet Fats!

I'm really looking forward to getting the restored cab back for my '66 Deluxe…

David - thanks for the great cable and truly excellent customer service. I was looking for a cable with less than 20pF/ft. for my bucker guitars, that would not twist itself up every time I move. Colossal's Sweet Fats Low Cap cable fits what I was seeking perfectly. Sounds fantastic and stays straight & true.

The SweetFats Low-Cap is absolutely the best cable I've played through, period!

I can't believe the difference this cable has made to the tone of my bass. There is more low end and clarity than I've ever heard from a cable. I was skeptical at first but am a believer now!

I run a vintage strat to a pedal board with compressor, two overdrives, chorus and digital delay to a two amp stereo system - a Swart Atomic Space Tone, and a Alessandro modded tweed Deluxe Reverb left and right The amps are set super clean and I get the blues and singing sustain from the pedals. I had some fairly good cables, I won't mention the brands, but they were not cheap cables. I plugged in a Sweet Fats cables between my guitar and the pedal board, and the guitar was super clean, transparent and beautiful sounding. Then I purchased a new Sweet Fats low-cap pedal and put it between the guitar and pedal, and the older Sweet Fats between the board and the Swart and the clean transparency and full frequency response was unbelievable. It sounded like Knopfler on Sultans or Jimi on Little Wing (to the extent that I could do what they were doing, anyway, but...). the tone was breathtaking. The cable was a hundred dollar cable, but by my estimation, it was worth many times that. I will be replacing the other cable from the board to the Deluxe Reverb with a SF low-cap ASAP. Get these cables, you will not be sorry.
