Spectraflex Original Series Right Angle Instrument Cable, 10 Foot, Violet

Remember when your mothers vacuum cleaner, or maybe it was grandmas had a tweed style fabric covered power cord? It wouldn't kink, no matter how you walked in circles during your cleaning.

I remember a few years ago, seeing some guitar player in a bar using a guitar cord that was covered by the same sort of fabric. I was intrigued.

So a year or so later I ordered one, in the ten foot variety. I planned on using it to connect my amplifier to the pedal board.
Violet color, extra cost natch. They come with one ninety degree connector - it goes into my Boss NS-2 noise gate. The other end is a straight end...which I insert into the amplifier. I'd rather have two ninety degree connectors but that is not an option form the manufacturer. (And I don't want to solder/crimp new connectors - I want a cable)


20 AWG Ultra Pure Copper Center Conductor
100% Copper and Conductive Polymer Shield Coverage
Low 39 pf/ft. Capacitance
Rugged, High Performance Connectors
Made in the USA-Lifetime Warranty


Durable, won't kink, and it's purple! A bit on the pricey side. $27.53 with tax ($2.27 to the state) & free shipping. I would love to see them making patch cables. Little one or two foot cords with two ninety degree connectors.
I am not ready to debate capacitance per foot et cetera; it hasn't broken and that is what I am after at this point.

Ordered it Thursday and received it Friday. Yay Amazon Prime.
