Bottom Line: With high-quality connectors plated with nickel and a thick, 8mm wire jacket coating the inner components of the cables, this Fender set performs wonderfully.
They feature a right-angled design, and prevent twisting or kinging due to the robustness of their spiral shielding. My Review: Flexibility is a key quality that every musician needs when using patch cables on their pedalboard. The Audioblast Eminence HQ-1 patch cables have this quality in abundance, and what I found even more impressive about them was that they also possess undeniable durability.
When searching for the best patch cables, one of the things I specifically looked for was signal transparency. This is vital for musicians, as it ensures that even the most transformative effects on their pedalboard sound clear and powerful. I was therefore pleased to discover that the Audioblast Eminence HQ-1 patch cables possess an oxygen-free copper core, which when paired with the conductive PVC sub shield creates the perfect pathway for the signal to run through.

They keep noise issues to a minimum thanks to their high-quality inner components, and the addition of staggered double-boots ensures a solid connection. The Planet Waves Classic Series patch cables are an embodiment of strength and sound quality.
Right off the bat, I was very impressed by the way these cables could be easily positioned on the pedalboard, whether they needed to be squeezed into tight spaces or stretched across a 6-inch distance from the pedal to the pedal.
Sonically, these patch cables are flawless. Who is this best suited for: Audiophiles who are on a mission to ensure that their signal strength and quality are as good as they possibly can be will love the Planet Waves Classic Series patch cables.
Built using the highest quality components, these cables produce no unwanted noise and maintain the strength of your effects. With low-noise performance, a high-strength design, and a transparent sound, they are a great choice for all musicians. After testing these cables, I instantly noticed the lack of interference from my signal chain, which made the effects sound clearer and more defined.
I also found that the outer PVC layer struck an ideal balance between being pliable enough to fit into tight gaps on my pedalboard, and having the strength to stay firmly in place without twisting. After doing some research to find out how MXR managed to prevent noise issues and keep the signal so clear, I discovered that they used a spiral shielding technique to achieve this.
Bottom Line : MXR are renowned for ensuring that their products are high-functioning, whether it is their unique stompboxes or patch cables. This set uses oxygen free copper material for ultimate sound quality, and the connectors are secured to promote longevity. The first thing I noticed about these cables was the durability of their outer layer. Not only does the thick material prevent kinks and tangles from occurring on your pedalboard, but it also ensures that the inner wires and components are fully protected from wear and tear.
In terms of their impact on the sound quality of your signal chain, the MXR patch cables use a specially designed OFC spiral shield to minimize interference.
Who is this best suited for: The MXR Patch Cables are a great match for guitarists, bassists, or any other musician whose priority is keeping their pedalboard tidy. Bottom Line: Like all MXR products, these patch cables are built using only the finest components to promote crisp sound quality. However, these cables have convinced me that this is more than just a marketing tactic. These patch cables are constructed from copper material which contains no oxygen.
The purpose of this design is that it prevents them from wearing out over time due to corrosion, which also improves their sonic capabilities. One of the best things I discovered about these Timesetl Patch Cables is that you can easily remove the connectors using a Phillips screwdriver.
Bottom Line: Timesetl has included three high-performance patch cables in this set, with gold-plated connectors in the right angle, pancake design. They use a multi-shielding process to ensure minimal noise interference, and the cables are both resistant to temperature changes and waterproof, providing musicians with peace of mind when using them.
Thankfully, I found these patch cables to deliver on their promise of promoting maximum signal strength, sound quality, and robustness. The connectors are gold-plated and of the pancake variety. Another thing I found impressive about them is their custom-built inner wiring, which is made using the revered Mogami wire.
The Mogami wire is highly sought after by musicians and sound engineers, as it has a reputation for producing clean-sounding signals with little to no interference. My Review: Donner returns to our list, this time with their set of six gold-plated patch cables. Affordable and versatile, these cables ensure that the mid-range and treble frequencies produced by effects pedals are preserved.
When Donner constructed these patch cables, they used a rare solder blend that includes a small amount of silver. The material used for the outer coating is resistant to heat, which also improves the longevity of these patch cables and prevents them from wearing out over time.
Who is this best suited for: The Donner Guitar Patch Cables are a great choice for musicians who are shopping on a budget, but still want to ensure that their effects on their pedalboards work to their maximum capacity. Bottom Line: With their noiseless design and solid construction, one would expect that the Donner Guitar Patch Cables would come with a larger price tag than they do. This set of six cables made with copper shielding have an impressively low capacitance, which promotes noise rejection and ensures tonal clarity.
At 3ft, these are amongst the longest patch cables you can get your hands on. The advantage of using longer patch cables is that it allows you to connect devices that are spread out on your pedalboard. With these extra long patch cables, you can do this easily and quickly. Who is this best suited for: If your pedals are distanced from one another on your pedalboard, the 3ft patch cables by Miracle Sound are a great option.
These cables afford you more freedom and flexibility when setting up the effects in your signal chain. The manufacturer has used high-quality shielding to keep noise issues at bay, and the cables are designed to last for many years. As with most Fender products, the manufacturer has gone the extra mile when designing this pair of patch cables.

The main deviation from the norm is that the jacket is 'carbon-impregnated' to eliminate handling noise and improve durability. We love the look of the Fender Custom Shop cables, and the tweed option is the coolest patch cable on the market, hands down. On top of the standard PVC cable sheath, there's a paracord fabric outer, available in a classic straw tweed and black tweed finish.
They look slick, they're reliable, and are guaranteed for their lifetime by Fender. Whether you are likely to ever use that guarantee is another story. The main drawback is that they are expensive compared to the other options.
You can get them in a two-pack but there's usually no discount for doing so. Fender also makes a 30cm right-angled patch cable, but it's only available in a plain finish, and not with the tweed outer. An affordable option in the custom cabling stakes, this widely available Boss set has the benefit of being solderless. There's a price to pay for the flexibility of making your own cables though. Not only the ticket price, but in debugging time if something does go wrong with your custom creations.
Luckily, these are pretty foolproof as custom cables go. If that's the sort of thing that's likely to play on your mind though, then it may not worth the hassle. The BCK is only a little bit more expensive in some stores, and is double the size, with 24 connectors, and 24ft of cable — one for guitarists taking on a bigger pedalboard. The 'go-to' pancake, or low-profile patch cable, the Hosa is a workhorse.
It's cheap, widely available, and rock solid. Although they sit at the budget end of the market, they're low-noise, with oxygen-free copper conductors and spiral shielding.
Hosa makes many different cables and lengths. Should you want 30 or 45cm long patch cables, Hosa makes them with both standard right-angle and low-profile connectors. The only drawback to the Hosa product line is that some more exciting looking patch cables, like the louder Ernie Ball offerings, are now available at a similar price. Every pedalboard has one or two annoying cable runs that need an odd length. Usually, this is from one 'row' of a stepped board to another, or due to a weird-sized pedal like a wah , whammy or multi-effect.
Rockboard have a wide range of patch cable lengths available, with moulded ends that are even lower-profile than a pancake cable. The cables have low resistance and capacitance as well as full copper shielding.
A small number of pedals also use TRS for stereo input or output. Competing with Boss in the mass-market solderless kits territory is D'Addario.
They've done something strange with this kit, beating their competitor on price, but offering an odd number of cables. Their assumption is either that most boards require more than five, or it's a sneaky marketing move. The cable is a low-capacitance, shielded cable as you'd expect from a premium offering. The kit comes with a mini cable cutter and screwdriver, should you not have those tools available. The main advantage of these over the Boss option is the semi-moulded right-angle jacks.
It's splitting hairs a bit, but you might prefer that to the metal housing of the Boss jack ends. In our experience, there's only a small gap in quality between the cheapest cables you can buy and the most expensive. That said, if buying online, it could be that you want the peace of mind that comes from a branded cable with a guarantee.
The main things you need to consider when investing in the best patch cables are the type of jack end and the length of the cable.
