Ernie Ball cables are high capacitance too. And that's not a good or bad thing, it's just an ingredient of a recipe and you can have a little or a lot. I use 10ft EB cables at home and I have 10ft Planet Waves (low capacitance) if I want that extra high treble. I have long low capacitance cables if I need the length but want similar tone as I get with the EB cables. How I set the treble and mids on my amp and pedals will be affected by my cable choice and so I get slightly different results. Like, I said, it's an ingredient in a recipe. Add more salt, and maybe you will also add more sugar, or more chili, less soy sauce. It's all good, it justs a choice we make. That is UNTIL we have a particular situation. e.g. Steve Vai or Joe Bonamassa on stage? 40ft cable run! Yes, they both choose lower capacitance cables but the long length means high total capacitance, it won't be a bright tone hitting the amp or pedalboard. Hig capacitance short cables can get you that tone in your living room without 40ft of unnecessary coffe spiller on the floor.
Rant: I wish companies that sell cables would tell us the capacitance. Many don't. The marketing blurb of "3-Dimensional mids and rich organic bass notes and increased dynamics" is absolute nonsense, it's all a LIE. Cables can only affect one thing - high frequencies, and it's cable capacitance that does that. And ALL cables transmit equally well at lower frequencies and they all transmit indentically when driven by a buffer or preamp.
Handling noise and shielding DO differ between cables, but in terms of transmission of sound capacitance is all we care about.
