Simplfied my rig and this was the final piece of the puzzle. I'm a bassist and acoustic guitarist that plugs directly into the amp with no effects and recently switched to clip on tuners from my pedal tuner. I bought the 10 foot, right angle cable and use it for my guitar and I love that at the flick of a switch I can kill the signal and tune my guitar. With the right angle it sits very well in my guitar stand too. The preamp on my guitar isn't very handy and doesn't have a mute switch or a tuner installed just a volume and a tone control. This cable gives me the mute capability with the push of a button. Bonus, switching guitars is a lot easier and I'm not at the mercy of the sound guys to mute me.
