About This Item
Description
The Reveal is designed to create the kind of first-listen realization that a spec sheet alone cannot convey: an audible upgrade over ordinary coax, in a cable flexible enough to move with you. This listing is the 20 ft (6 m), Right to Straight plugs version.
Choose the right version
This is the 20 ft (6 m) length with Right to Straight plugs. The right-angle plug goes into the guitar and keeps the cable close to the body, which suits side-mounted or recessed output jacks; the straight plug with the red boot goes to the amp or the first pedal. Choose Straight-to-Straight for standard top-mount jacks and pedalboard runs. Longer lengths suit larger stages; shorter lengths keep signal runs tidy.
Why players choose the Reveal
Players choose the Reveal when they move on stage. Its coaxial design upgrades on standard coax while keeping the flexibility and handling of a typical stranded cable — ideal for an electric guitarist on stage or a bassist who wants to crowd-surf. Each strand of the IGL-ECS center conductor carries an enamel coating, which greatly reduces strand interaction: the conductor measures and sounds like a single solid-core conductor yet keeps the flexibility of a stranded cable. The goal is simple: what comes out of the cable should match what goes in.
How it compares
The Reveal uses flexible IGL-ECS stranded coaxial construction with a 98% parallel-run shield for stage-friendly handling. The Forte is the reference-sound, semi-balanced IGL-ECS choice. Think of the Reveal as the Forte's little brother: a smaller, lighter, more flexible cable built on the same IGL-ECS conductor idea at a more accessible price. Choose the Reveal for maximum flexibility and active stage movement; choose the Forte when you want the semi-balanced reference sound in a still-rugged cable.
Key features
- IGL-ECS (Increased Grain Linearity) high-purity copper center conductor with enamel-coated strands
- Coaxial geometry with low capacitance, compatible with a wide range of pickups and inputs
- Parallel-run shield with 98% coverage and minimal crosstalk; the parallel-run conductors form the ground path
- 20 AWG conductor keeps skin-effect distortion outside the audio band while offering ample cross-section
- Carbon-loaded extrusion to reduce triboelectric (handling) noise
- Neutrik 1/4" plugs with high-copper-content brass contacts, nickel plating and a chuck-type cable clamp, soldered with TRT Wonder Solder Signature
- Directional: every cable is listened to and tested for direction; the red boot marks the output end
- Hand-built in the USA from USA-manufactured material
Getting the Best Sound
- Connect the red-boot end to the amplifier (or the first pedal)
- Allow about 40 hours of signal for break-in; roughly 80% of the change happens in the first 10 hours
- For the clearest impression, try it plugged straight from guitar to amp

FAQ
Is the Reveal good for the stage? Yes. It is very flexible and designed for players who move — great on stage for electric guitar or bass.
Coaxial or semi-balanced? The Reveal is coaxial: an IGL-ECS center conductor carries the signal, and parallel-run conductors with 98% coverage form the shield and ground path. The Forte is the semi-balanced design.
Which end goes to the amp? The end with the red boot is the output end; connect it to the amplifier or the first pedal. The right-angle plug goes into the guitar.
Right-to-Straight or Straight-to-Straight? Right-to-Straight for tight guitar-jack clearance and side-mounted jacks; Straight-to-Straight for standard jacks and pedalboards.
Should I choose the Reveal or the Forte? The Reveal is the smaller, lighter, very flexible coaxial IGL-ECS cable with a 98% parallel-run shield. The Forte is the larger, semi-balanced, reference-sound IGL-ECS option. Pick the Reveal when you move a lot on stage; pick the Forte when you want the semi-balanced design.
Does the cable need a break-in period? It sounds its best after about 40 hours of signal, with roughly 80% of the change in the first 10 hours.
