COOLSELL Review
A little while ago, COOLSELL sent me an Audio Interface and a guitar cable to try out and review. The items arrived promptly and I opened them the next day.
THE GUITAR CABLE
This is a 10ft guitar cable. The wrapping is made of soft rubber and that allows for very easy rolling up and storing. I have to say that, even though the material is soft rubber, the cable feels quite strong and sturdy. The two 1/4” jacks are made of heavy metal (no pun intended) and the connection feels very strong. One of the ends is elbow-shaped which is quite convenient. This is now my favorite guitar cable around the studio.
THE AUDIO INTERFACE
This is the smallest audio interface I have ever seen. To be honest, I had mixed feelings about it … I feared this would be a flimsy, weak, noisy device, mostly because it is so small.
I have to say that I was very pleasantly surprised. I am totally impressed by this device. First, it is very convenient because of its size. It easily fits in your pocket or in your guitar case. I actually found a small zippered case that I ended up using for storing this. Second, it works very well, and it produces a noise-free sound. Third, it provides for different types of connections.

I highly recommend that last set up with the COOLSELL Audio Interface. These two items sent by the company - the guitar cable and the audio interface - are among the most awesome items I was ever sent to review. I am very thankful for it and I like them very much.
