Does this work with an USB guitar cable?

Okay, i know: "Real Tone Cable is better", but here where i live there is no place where i can buy it and if i import from somewhere else, then i'll be expensive af.

I play on a laptop and the only connections that i have are: 1 P3 input (input/output) and 2 USB 3.0. I already did a workaround to play using a P3 divisor, so i can use a P2 to P10 cable to send my guitar signal and my P3 headphones to listen to the game, but there is a input lag and i did EVERYTHING i could to make it better, but nothing worked (yes, i used no cable patch).

After that i bought a Guitar Link to see if i could have less cables around my laptop and have less input lag, but Rocksmith does not get any sound if i use a Berhinger driver and i don't know how to make it work (but guitar rig 5 does recognize and it works fine), so i managed to get it working by installing it with windows generic driver, but the input lag was still there and if i play too many notes, my guitar does a really loud crackling noise and only stops if i mute my guitar for some seconds (still, i used no cable patch).

And here we go to my question: Can i get it working fine if i use a USB guitar cable? Will i need the no cable patch? Will there be too much input lag? I really want to play this game, but there is so much headache to make anything work properly without that stupid Real Tone Cable.

Out of the box it does not work with offbrand cables. You will have to use RSMods or NoCablePatch. I recomend RSMods (google RSMods and click the link with Lovrom8/RSMods @ github. Grab the RSModsInstealler under Releases.
Install and launch RSMods.exe under /Rocksmith2014/RSMods .. Click the "Set and forget mods" tab, then "Misc" sub-tab. Click "Add Direct Connect Mode"
Close RSMods, open RS2014 > click ctrl or click The Path/Input button in game. Select Input > Direct connect. Then click Available inputs and select your guitar usb cable/audio interface.

Should now work, fingers crossed.
