Saves your equipment from loud pops and squeals when you change guitars with a live amp.
The Planet Waves Straight Instrument Cable with 1/4" Plug and Circuit Breaker eliminates the problem of loud pops and other distracting noises when you attempt to change guitars while the amp is live. When the button is pushed, the cable shorts while remaining plugged into your guitar, making on-stage guitar changes a snap, and eliminating any chance of sound bursts. Once the cable is shorted, remove the cable from the guitar being used and plug the cable into the next instrument. Press the button again to reactivate the cable signal.
