True, but is it a negligible amount of capacitance? The easiest way to test the answer to your question would be to buy one of each type of cable, record some playing through each, and compare. I personally sincerely doubt that you'd be able to tell which one is which in a blind A/B test, but you never know.Super noob question
I read on a few forums that a coiled or spiral guitar cable changes the “tone” due to capacitance and it just sounds like BS. Is it?
It’s not the act of coiling the cable. It’s the fact that a coiled cable is coming to have more cable length then a straight cable.
Absolutely will have an effect depending on the actual length.
Oh so, in that case just having a buffer at the beginning of your pedal board solves the high-end roll off issue right?

If you're running a 100' cable into a buffered pedal, you're already losing high end before it hits the buffer.
Maybe 100’ is a bit extreme lol.
But since we’re there, how do musicians handle long cable runs and high end loss when playing live? I guess that’s where a line driver comes in?
