Mogami OD GTR-03 3' Overdrive Guitar Instrument Cable

The Mogami OD GTR-03 is a 3-foot unbalanced instrument cable for connecting an electric guitar, bass, pedal, or other compatible instrument-level source to a 1/4-inch TS input. Its compact length is suited to close-range connections in pedalboard setups, practice rigs, and studio signal paths. Both ends use straight 1/4-inch TS male plugs.

This cable is intended for musicians who need a short, dependable link without adding excess cable length to a compact setup. The OD GTR-03 uses a mono, unbalanced connection commonly found on electric guitars, basses, effects pedals, and instrument amplifiers. It is not intended for balanced XLR connections or amplifier-to-speaker cabinet wiring.

Mogami's Overdrive series is designed for electric-guitar applications, with low-capacitance cable construction intended to preserve high-frequency detail over the signal path. The cable uses an oxygen-free copper center conductor, XLPE insulation, and a spiral shield with a conductive PVC layer. This construction supports a shielded instrument connection for stage or studio use.

Gold-contact 1/4-inch TS plugs provide the physical connection at each end, and this version uses straight-to-straight connectors. The 3-foot OD GTR-03 does not include a silentPLUG or auto-mute connector. That makes it a straightforward choice where a standard plug is preferred at both the source and destination.

Use the OD GTR-03 between an instrument and pedalboard, between adjacent devices with 1/4-inch TS jacks, or from a pedalboard output to an amplifier's instrument input when the spacing is appropriate. It can also serve as part of a matching Mogami Overdrive signal path. For amplifier-to-speaker cabinet connections, use a purpose-built speaker cable rather than an instrument cable.

Key Features

• 3-Foot Length: Keeps short signal runs organized in compact setups.
• 1/4-Inch TS Plugs: Connects standard unbalanced instrument-level equipment.
• Straight Connectors: Provides a conventional straight-to-straight cable layout.
• Gold Contacts: Uses gold-contact plugs at both cable ends.
• OFC Conductor: Uses an oxygen-free copper center conductor.
• Shielded Construction: Combines spiral shielding with a conductive PVC layer.

Design & Installation

The OD GTR-03 uses a PVC outer jacket, XLPE insulation, an oxygen-free copper conductor, and spiral shielding with a conductive PVC layer. Its black round cable construction is paired with two straight 1/4-inch TS male plugs with gold contacts. This is a passive cable with no electronics, controls, power connection, or configuration requirements.

Connect one TS plug to the output of an electric guitar, bass, pedal, or other unbalanced instrument-level device, then connect the other to a compatible 1/4-inch TS input. The 3-foot length works best when devices are positioned close together; avoid using it between a power amplifier and passive speaker cabinet. Because this model has no silent plug, lower volume or mute the signal path before unplugging an instrument during use.
