This 6ft guitar cable works with any mixer, power amp, microphone, effector or any other audio equipment with a 1/4″ mono connector. It features straight ends on one side and right-angle ends on the other for optimal use.
Right-angle connectors feature flat tips to reduce cable capacitance that could alter the tone.
Product Description
Even if you own the ultimate guitar and amplifier combo, all is wasted without quality cables to connect them together. Weak cables can wreak havoc on your carefully crafted tone by adding monophonic noise or failing when needed; quality cables will eliminate these problems to provide a clean signal from instrument to pedalboard.
High-quality cables may cost more than budget ones, but they will last longer and deliver superior performance. When selecting one, look for one with high-quality connectors, low capacitance, a durable outer PVC jacket and an extended warranty in case it breaks.
The Mogami Gold Instrument Cable stands out as a top option on our list, featuring heavy-duty framed shielding that helps minimize microphonic noise and comes in various lengths and angled jack options for convenient use. A fantastic value option that won’t break the bank!
George L offers another fantastic budget cable, featuring low capacitance technology for clear tonal delivery. Available in various lengths including angled jack options for pedalboard use.
Keep in mind that cheaper cables tend to tangle and break more easily, so always store them safely when finished using them. In particular, check if the cable features physical memory; this feature is especially beneficial for guitarists who frequently switch guitars or pedalboards.
D’Addario Circuit Breaker guitar cables offer exceptional value at an excellent value, available in various lengths to meet your specific requirements. Their twisted-pair design helps prevent signals from getting lost or corrupted along their length; and each end features a 6.3mm mono connector featuring audio signal at one tip and ground at another sleeve connection – offering easy use while maintaining quality construction.
Product Specifications
As its name implies, this patch cable is designed to facilitate connecting your guitar and effects units or amplifier to pedalboard. Featuring a durable fabric jacket that doesn’t stretch much but should still provide adequate protection from unwanted tangling issues, this 10-foot to 25-foot length cable features custom-molded 24-karat gold-plated connectors with rubberized coating to withstand abuse during playback as well as custom 24-karat gold plated connectors that feature custom 24-karat gold plating as well as rubberized layers covering each connector to avoid nicks or scratches from occurring during use.
Planet Waves’ high-quality cable is essential for any gigging musician, and this model certainly lives up to this requirement. Constructed from oxygen-free copper conductors for clean and crisp tone delivery while dense shielding reduces triboelectric noise production. Furthermore, its low capacitance ensures it won’t add unwanted buzz or hiss into your signal.
Notable feature of this cable is its distinctive woven exterior, designed to reduce tangle risk while simultaneously adding an exciting and rugged appearance. Available in various lengths for pedalboard setup.
The woven design isn’t just aesthetic; it also helps prevent your cable from twisting too tightly during use, helping maintain sound clarity while other brands sometimes disregard this essential factor.
Fender offers this coiled cable as another solution that should be simple to manage on stage. Constructed with various gauges of conductor, each tuned specifically for specific frequencies to help avoid tone suck issues that many have heard about with other coiled options.
Balanced cabling ensures less interference by sending two copies of your signal rather than just one, making this solution less susceptible to picking up extraneous interference and creating a secure and reliable connection. Neutrik’s HelioFused soldering process helps create this lasting bond.

Product Reviews
Careful handling of cables is of utmost importance for guitarists. Cables should always be stored coiled when not in use and kept away from items which might damage them (like pedalboards). When plugging them in, make sure not to catch any cords on either the guitar socket tip or connectors as this could result in signal loss!
Most quality cables feature a solid copper center conductor encased by insulation encapsulated in an outer plastic layer for insulation protection, with an exterior protective plastic layer protecting this entire package. Finally, each end features connectors to prevent interference from outside sources and braided copper shielding to block interference from outside sources. While premium cables may feature additional materials used in their inner conductor insulation and shielding construction (with or without connectors at either end), any additional advancement in materials or design typically won’t impact sound much.
A good guitar cable should have a thick outer jacket that is both flexible and durable, as well as an electrostatic shield to reduce noise, and keep the wires separate and free from one another. A thick outer jacket also protects it from being damaged by abrasions or sunlight, providing protection for lasting use.
Many high-end cables use polyethylene instead of more commonly employed thermosets as insulation material, as its lower dielectric constant enables more current flow with reduced mass and lower acoustic impedance.
Some premium cables employ higher grades of copper such as oxygen-free or linear-crystal to make up their inner conductor, with oxygen-free or linear-crystal copper believed to offer improved conductivity and cleaner signal quality; this has yet to be scientifically demonstrated and most guitarists would find it hard to discern any significant difference in performance between standard copper cable and more expensive alternatives.
At the ends of a guitar cable are usually where most failures arise, so when selecting connectors it is wise to opt for ones equipped with strain relief plugs and connector clamps that help secure solder connections in place. Gold-plated connectors may look nicer but don’t necessarily offer better sound or conductivity – they just tend to resist corrosion better making your cables last longer.
