Rocksmith+ Real Tone Cable

Is more reliable than the game, if you intend to use for rocksmith 2014, check forms for white screen crash and make sure your drivers are current and only ones listed in forms to be disabled. It's a SOB but it's worth it.

I purchased this cable to use an electric guitar for Rocksmith 2014 Remastered (PC) and it worked straight out of the box. The length of the cable is also nice.

I'm still old school and haven't upgraded to Rocksmith+. But I've been using the Rocksmith Real Tone Cable exclusively on my Xbox 360, and it works flawlessly! The connection is smooth, and there's minimal latency, making it feel like I'm playing through a real amp. The sound quality is great, and it's been durable through multiple sessions without any issues.

Bought Rocksmith 2014 on steam, needed cable so i bought 2 of them just in case one of the cables broke. boxes arrived damaged but the cables still worked, not amazons fault more so the fault of the parcel carrying service

Llegó en excelentes condiciones y sumamente rapido!

No lags whatsoever

This a cool little bit of gear for practicing bass by yourself, especially if you're in that late-beginner sorta stage of bass-playing and not really sure of where to go after finishing a structured beginner course/curriculum (such as BazzBuzz, TalkingBass, Scott's Bass Lessons etc).It can be hard to stay motivated with practicing music, especially if you're not playing with other friends or don't have some guide/path/plan that helps you see your continuous progress (skill-wise).Fortunately for those of us in such situations, the gloriously arcadey Rocksmith offers a welcome reprieve. It reminds me of playing Guitar Hero 2 on PS2, except now I'm actually making tangible progress on a real skill and learning Kim Deal basslines (Debaser by Pixies will always slap).The only downside is the limited selection of songs. I think there's something like 1300 DLC songs available for Rocksmith 2014 on Steam, but I wish they had some more variety (especially more Sleater-Kinney songs aside from just "Dig Me Out"). I haven't checked out Rocksmith+ yet, but I intend to. I think Rocksmith 2014 was actually discontinued and delisted from Steam in late 2023 (if you previously purchased it you can still play and download the DLC), so now everything has moved over to the subscription-based Rocksmith+ (which has something like 7000+ songs).Also, I think there is a way to import music into both Rocksmith 2014 and Rocksmith+, but I haven't messed with it yet. I need to fiddle with it later and try to get some Minutemen, The Clean, Velvet Underground, Shopping and Richard Hell jams loaded up. Some Ska and Rocksteady would be pretty fun too.

If you want to play Rocksmith 2014 Remastered Edition on Consoles, the Real Tone Cable is a must.*To be clear, to connect a guitar to your PC, even for Rocksmith 2014 Ed. or Rocksmith+ Beta...(?), this Real Tone cable is NOT a must as far as I understand it, & without Rocksmith...just a connection to your PC...DO NOT use this cable. It's terrible! Do your research first, but I'm sure you can find higher quality for less money.For those like me with Rocksmith 2014 Remastered Ed. on Xbox Series x|s, Xbox One, &/or PS4, Ubisoft gives you the option of a Microphone Input OR their Proprietary Real Tone Cable 6.35mm to USB Input. To minimize lag, this cable is the best option as far as price is concerned.The cable is not without issues; this is the 2nd Real Tone Cable I've owned; but as long as Ubisoft keeps their software closed to 3rd party cables for consoles & if you want to have the best possible experience with Rocksmith, you're stuck with the Real Tone Cable.The cable does have lag - but the game has built-in calibration to adjust for the time delay (how much seems to vary; mine adjust to 25ms).The cable is not high quality & for both cables I've had, they eventually become quieter over time to skipping in & out.Fortunately, this problem is easily fixed for ~$5 & some basic soldering skill. Indeed; the defect rate based on the number of general complaints I've read about the cable, I'd suggest getting a basic replacement jack for plugging into your guitar, & possibly some Kapton tape (& a soldering iron & solder & wire strippers potentially). For instance, I purchased this cable in 2017 & I've had to repair it twice. Indeed, I just repaired it my second time here in the last 2 days. For a $40 cable you have to use, I suppose repairability is it's one upside. But, I also can't speak to the repairability of the in-line "analog-digital converter." What its defect rate is like?—I have no clue?So, Why 3-stars for the cable? Because when it works, it completes the Rocksmith experience. And that is something that is truly great. After owning my guitar for ~14 yrs., I gave Rocksmith another try in 2020 (I had some down time, like many others...), & it has actually made me a fairly proficient player since. Maybe moreso than that...? I play my guitar daily...now usually with a small amp instead, but still with my Xbox Series S every so often as well. The software works & when the hardware works with it, Ubisoft still has a cable I'm willing to tolerate because Rocksmith altogether is worth it in my opinion.*Note — Photos are of my most recent repair of the cable.
