nickpeacock Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Interested in other users' experience here. I have the following three options from the L/mono output of my HX Stomp into my Focusrite Clarett 2pre: 1. TS to TS guitar cable [in theory I could insert a DI box here, but see 2 and 3 below...] 2. TRS to male XLR cable 3. TRS to TRS cable I'll be trying these over the next couple of weeks. (I don't expect to hear a difference between 2 and 3 but you never know!) Has anyone compared the sound quality of the signal by these three methods? What difference(s) would you expect to hear? What did you in fact hear?

rd2rk Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Depending on the electrical environment, you MIGHT hear added noise with TS>TS, especially if the cable run is over 20ft. Otherwise, TS>TS is just fine, assuming quality cables. The main difference with TRS>TRS will be in your wallet. Short runs are OK, but for longer runs, XLR is cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
