Patch Leads For A Pedalboard

[Elliot]

I wholeheartedly agree with cleartones - !!!!

I think this forum needs an automated response saying cleartone for any thread with cables involved  :D , i would like to get some but the exchange rate makes them really pricy once i get a few patch leads and long leads and speaker leads. And then postage on top of that.

The cleartones do seem nice, but they are a bit hard to come by here in the Netherlands.. :(

Any thoughts on the short patchcables by Spectraflex?
I'm very happy with my spectraflex instrument cable! :D Mainly because it can withstand constant mis-use :lol:

How about DIY?
I'm not sure how feasible it is in the UK but over here I can get guitar cable (highly respected Mogami 2524  for instance) for about £1.20 per metre, and jacks are about 80p, so thats 5 decent 20cm patch leads for just under a tenner.

Best I ever had was a DiMarzio braided wire, but expensive and chunky.

I got one of these sets from Lavacables and it ws nice!

I like Lava, also. Dunno how it compares to Cleartone, price-wise.

I have been through many many planet waves...i don't recommend them.

Die hard has lasted me ages and feels solid as...
I also have a fender cable which feels and looks the business.

Hmm I was just considering them a good alternative, what was wrong with them?
The problem I have with most solderless cables is that the cable is compromised to facilitate the solderless connectors.. so it's handy but never the better choice sound-wise.
