Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

December 2, 2007 | Snap Jack Cables

We've become very attached to Snap Jack Cables. Or should we see "detached?"... New from Jodavi (Zzyzx), the answer to a Maiden's Pray for the plug-in multi-instrumentalist, a cable that detaches completely noise free, and can be plugged into multiple instruments/and or amps. We saw these at the recent NAMM show, and had to try for ourselves.

Let's say you've got two mandolins and a mandola, and you want to unplug before leaving the stage while someone is speaking or delivering a message (or praying in church). What we like is the ability to plug in and out of an amp without having to turn down the volume. With this, you also get the benefit of protecting amp or instrument if you step on the cable and nearly pull either off of a stand. View a Youtube video demonstration:

From a recent press release: " JODAVI, INC. HAS introduced the ZZYZX Snap Jack cable. The new patented cables uses OFC high-quality helical braided shield cables and neodymium magnets with gold-plated contacts. The result is noise-free dynamic sound.

"'Through precision engineering and manufacturing techniques, Jodavi has finally managed to eliminate the popping noise when the jack is pulled. This product utilizes a two part jack design. Each half has a magnet that corresponds to the other piece. So, when you go to plug into your amp, the magnets just snap together with no audible and annoying pop. And because of this feature and utilizing the extra tips, multiple guitar players can switch guitars in a snap!' said Sales & Marketing Director Diane Nguyen. 'There are no other cables with the precision engineering and manufacturing techniques like the ZZYZX Snap Jack cable," she added. Snap Jack cables are available in 15' and 20' lengths. They also come with extra Snap Jack tips, which are sold separately.'"

Street Pricing on the 15 & 20 ft. is between $35 and $40.
