running cabinet offstage for isolation

[jpaul]

I need to run my cabinet offstage (about 40' or more) for isolation.
What's the rule for preventing signal loss??
I understand that if I use Speakons I can get up to 100' w/out signal loss (but then I have to have my cabinet routed for them as well as my amplifier out.....blah blah).
What's Steve Lukather do? What's John Sykes do?

Can I use 1/4" connections up to a certain length w/out signal loss??

Hi,

I´m not sure, but i think there is no reason to be afraid of signal loss at that point... if you get some, you just put your amp louder.
Before poweramp it effects your tone badly.

Remember to have GOOD speaker cable. And connectors like neutrik... thats pro stuff

Signal loss is minimal with speaker cables. Sure, put 40' worth of cable between the guitar and amp and it'll be noticeable. But you should be fine.
