There's also a information box about the cable that reads: "John 5 defies convention. He is a master of styles ranging from shred metal to bluegrass, and his gear has to meet or exceed the extreme demands of his performance. Enter the new DiMarzio® John 5 Signature™ Guitar Cable, developed to satisfy John 5. DiMarzio’s new John 5 Signature™ Cable is double-shielded to reduce hum, interference and stage noise while extending the frequency response — something that’s pretty important to John 5. The reduced capacitance cable is encased in a black braided jacket that protects the cable from damage and features custom-designed DiMarzio/Switchcraft plugs. An extra-long, aged copper-patina barrel engraved with John 5’s logo provides exceptional strain relief as well as style."

We have designed this to be the most roadworthy tuner you can place on your pedal-board.The Stomp Classic’s look pays homage to the most iconic tuner of the 1970s, the ST-11 Strobotuner – still used then and now on the stages of some of the most exalted of rock gods!"
