Plug it in and you're ready to rock! It is directional so the red end goes into the speaker cabinet.

I have been slowly converting all of my cabling from Planet Waves to Evidence Audio. The Siren II is one of the final upgrades (outside of the Source AC cable) and the difference from the PW to EA is incredible! My lows are WAY more punchy and defined without being muddy (like they were with the PW's). Mids are very full and pleasant, and the highs are without the harshness that the PW's had added. Overall a much more fuller sound that is well defined and tight! I am in absolute awe of these cables. They are quiet, and seem very well built.

Reliability : No Opinion
I have yet to gig with my setup now that it is EA equipped. I am sure though, that they are extremely reliable.

Tony is one of the best people to deal with. I only had a couple of questions to ask via e-mail and he is very quick to respond.

I have been playing for about 10 years in the Metal genre. A friend of mine told me about Evidence Audio and after trying the Melody, I was blown away. Converting everything over has made a very significant improvement on my amp's tone/feel. These cables don't add or take away anything, they are just transparent allowing YOU to come through. They are a little pricey when compared to "big brands" like Planet Waves, but well worth the investment! Everytime I play now, I can't help but smile.

If it were lost and/or stolen, without a doubt I'd replace.

I...um...plugged it in. It was a scarey operation, but...

Pretty amazing. I use a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe with one of the new HRD extension cabs and I replaced the cable in the amp. Simply put, the cable is everything Phil Taylor says it is.

Rig: 2006 Clapton Strat / 1995 American Standard Strat / 1988 12-string Strat >> Telenordia TA-100 overdrive >> stock Boss Blues Driver >> Boss Digital Metalizer >> DOD FX-65 chorus (blue casing) >> Boss Tremolo >> (Retro-Sonic Analog Delay soon) >>
Fender amp.

It does give the effect of making the amp louder, not by increasing gain, of course, but by letting more of the natural frequencies through from amp to speaker. It was actually a little weird at first but I got used to it quickly. Everything (all frequencies) sounds way more present. It improves the clean-bell-tone strat thing and the character of sustain and/or crunch, and...it just improves everything.

Reliability : No Opinion
It looks very well made. It's a captive cable so chances of damage are not great.

This is my newest Evidence Audio aquisition. I already use the Melody patch cables on my pedalboard. So far, I've bought everything through Lava Cable. They are very professional and quick about getting things to you.

So far I have not ordered from Tony himself, but I am going to in the near future so I can make the connection and let him know how pleased I am with his products.

Not a lot of words needed here. I plugged it in thinking I would hear some difference because of what everyone has been saying and because I hear the difference with the other EA cables I use. But I wasn't expecting that much of a difference. Wrong. It's a very noticable difference.

I'm not going to replace the cable to the extension cab. with a Siren. This is because that cabinet is slightly more punchy in some situations than the amp, probably because it's sitting on the floor, and running a lower-grade cabe that lets less signal through seems to balance the two very nicely.

Just Plug it in and hook it to your speaker!

I replaced the cable on my Fender Vibroverb Custom Handwired Amp. I noticed that it boosted my sound alot!! Made my amp so much louder.It's almost like I had a piece of cardboard in front of my amp muffling the sound before I added this cable. All effects sound great!

Reliability : No Opinion
Haven't had it that long but seems to be built solid. Tony builds these things one by one with his own hands so I don't see any troubles ahead. Yes I would gig without a backup.

I have emailed Tony and he was very helpful. I know if something ever went wrong he would be willing to help.

I have only been playing for about 10 years but have aqcuired alot of knowledge in that short time. I didn't ever think that the speaker cable from your amp would be such a factor in your tone, but it is!!I can't stress enough on how much better this makes your amp sound. Afterall David Gilmour from Pink Floyd uses these cables, he recently quit using Pete Cornish Cables and switched to these, so they have to be great! The quality is top notch and they seem like they could survive a nuclear blast!

It's a cable, plug it in.

Sound Quality : 10
Just great! And it looks way better than the "piece" that came stock on my Carvin amps. The stock cables looked like surplus speaker wire from a Radio Shack yard sale. The Siren from Evidence Audio is Quality you can see,feel and hear. Neutrik plugs straight or 90 degree angle.It's up to you and your application. He will customiz....just ask!

I have had no problems and I own 3 altogether. This is a reliable affordable, EASY upgrade anybody can do themselves.

Customer Service does not get any BETTER than Tony Farinella!
The guy goes out of his way to make you happy. I had one question and he offered to have it sent back on his dime, just to keep me happy!

Like all Evidence cable it's made from specially mined copper and should cost more than it does. This is a "no brainer" upgrade.

Simple. 1/4" plugs, connect one to your amp output, one to your speaker cab. The cable is directional so you do need to be sure you're connecting the correct plug to amp or speaker. Different terminations are available such as "speak-on" to connect directly to a speaker cone connections. Any length is available.

Sound Quality : 10
Using with Dr. Z Carmen Ghia and Carvin X amp heads with a variety of cabs including Bogner 112 w/ vintage 30, Carvin and other assorted cabs. Sounds great with all.
Doesn't create a sound but allows the most high quality sound to be transmitted from your amp to speaker. Very detailed without a harsh high end. Great mid-range warmth and presence with a tight,full low end. Please note as with all high-quality speaker and interconnect cables, there is a break-in period. After about a month it is fully broken in and sounding its best. Sounds good new but much smoother following the break-in period.

Reliability : 10
Excellent build quality. High quality terminations, very rugged. Should last for a very long time. I would be comfortable gigging without a backup but would always have a cheapie speaker cable on hand.

Customer Support : 10
Outstanding. Tony is responsive and helpful. A class act. Changed a termination for me quickly and inexpensively, no hassles.

Overall Rating : 10
Much better than any offering from Monster. Similar in design and construction to Allasandro(Audioquest)products but about half the cost. An outstanding bargain. May seem still seem expensive compared to regular zip cord or any other budget cable but the sonic improvement is well worth the price. I would replace if lost or stolen.
