Long guitar cable vs Short guitar cable

I used two of the cables I bought from @greco to make this comparison between a very short cable vs a long one using clean, boosted, dirty and lead tones from a few pedals and different volume setting on the guitar...

Hopefully you'll find it as interesting as I do.

If I'm lazy and don't watch YT videos - what did you learn from your experiment?
That clean tones sound fatter with a long cable and driven tones sound more defined with a short cable.

Now I have to figure out how to implement that in a stage situation
I used to run a 10ft from board to amp and 20ft from guitar to board, now it's 2x 20's unless it's a basement. We're so loud I doubt the audience would hear a difference hahaha.
