I'm glad people are getting the same difference I found  :D

Really if you think about it, what are you getting.
1. No fancy Marketing just good quality word of mouth
2. Van Damme Cable, widley regarded as the No1 and used throughout the broadcast and music industry for installations and PA/tour work
3. Propper Neutrik jacks
4. Great soldering

When you put it like that there's no way you can go wrong  PDT_003 PDT_003


And good service!

I was surprised at the difference they made to my setup too - again, probably the leads that it replaced weren't very good for a start.
It wouldn't be hard to make these yourself to be honest, if you can get the connectors and cable - but for these prices it isn't worth arsing about like that  :P

So true..

I have lots of people telling me to make my own - But I don't see why I should bother, with Cleartone being so cheap :D

Just got a set of guitar and speaker cables today and I cant believe the difference they've made to my sound. Its so much more clearer and defined and the slight fizzyness to the treble has also gone from my powerball.

I was was using planet waves cables before but never again these are absolutely top drawer!

Yep!

I got 3 with silent jacks for the guitar end, a couple to hook up my EQ in the FX loop of my PB, a speaker cable, 4 short ones (1.5m) to connect my modellers and JD10 to my Emu, a couple of patches (dont need many, I'm not very effectsy) and a couple of mic cables. I'm all cleartoned up :D

Gives me piece of mind that my entire signal chain isnt getting bottlenecked by cables, since I know these are so good.

I have, as they say, found my brand.

yeah, i had enough cables to wire up my fx loop and speakers etc., but i had to share cables between my engl and valve junior for guitar -> pedal and pedal -> amp.

i'm pretty sure i've found my brand too. ridiculously better than cables 3 times the price... it's win-win. Only way they could be much better is if they were free.

I can't agree with that, though - the holistic part of me says that they're cheap enough to be essentially free, considering the time required to make them up and the postage costs.
I'm impressed by how much the cleartone love has escalated! I got recommended to buy them through a mate of our drummer, and I think a couple of people on these forums seconded those recommendations, and now with a few of us extolling the virtues of these cables, it seems that the whole board is using them! Sweet!

+1 to all that.  Got me a full set including patch leads and speaker cables.  Order placed at 9am and the full set delivered to Northern Ireland by 11am next day.  Fantastic service.
Sound is great - noticably better than Planet Waves - although I previously had a couple of cheapo patch leads in the loop.
I'll be giging them on Friday night at the Ivy Bar, Newtownards (shameless plug!!)

you know what i mean. i mean they couldn't be any better unless something impossible happened. I guess they might be better if, when you clicked the order, they instantly teleported into your hand... :lol:
