CABLETONE

Guitar transformation

MAKE YOUR STRINGS SOUND LIKE BRIDGE CABLES.

Give the take the weight, drag and violent recoil of something much larger. Notes sag under the pick. Steel rattles against the hardware. The riff starts carrying its own weight.

Put CABLETONE on a recorded DI before your amp simulator. Tighten the response, loosen it into a slow heave, or build an instrument no sensible person would try to string.

The same performance. A different instrument.

Attack

Make the pick feel as though it struck something far heavier and under far more tension.

Sag

Let the note buckle under the hit. A little give, or an enormous length of steel finding its footing.

Recoil

Bring it back with a slow heave or a sharp, elastic snap.

Weight

Add body to the string and another octave of weight beneath it.

Contact

Bring out the rattle and clank of imagined strings meeting imagined hardware.

Be longer. Thicker. And harder.

More life

Tighten a soft attack. Add movement to a stiff take. Keep it close to the guitar you recorded.

A different instrument

Stretch the response into heavy cable, slack rubber or an over-tensioned snap.

A structural monster

Push the weight, sag and rattle until the instrument seems far too large for the room.

CABLETONE interface
CABLETONE

Eight voicings. Plenty of bad ideas.

HEAVY

Slow movement and low-end weight.

TORSION

Elastic bounce and springy return.

SUSPENSION

The slow heave of suspended metal.

OVERWOUND

Tension with a violent snap back.

LOOSE

Lower tension and an easy sway.

FLOPPY

Slack, slow and deliberately unruly.

BARBWIRE

A thinner, brighter kind of menace.

CABLETONE

A controlled starting point for tightening a DI.

Get your hands on it.

PITCH / SCALE

Change the pitch and the apparent size of the instrument.

DROOP / RECOIL

Choose how far it gives under the pick and how it comes back.

BODY / SUB

Give the string more mass and let the low end swell beneath it.

MANGLE / RATTLE

Add strain, chatter and contact with the hardware.

BLEND

Dial in how much of the transformed instrument you hear. PITCH still affects both sides; RUST and MELT act after the blend.

Presets / Undo / Redo

Try a different starting point, make a mess, and retrace your steps.

Two more ways to mistreat it.

RUST

A corroded edge: rough ringing, clank and a little less good behaviour.

MELT

A deep, hollow sweep that moves with the sound and responds to your picking.

Change the instrument. Keep the performance.

The take is already there. Give it heavier things to move.
