As something of a pedal hound, it’s fair to say I’ve used more than my fair share of patch cables over the years. So when I was asked to test a multitude of patch cables for one of our buyer’s guides earlier in the year I knew I was the right person for the job. I tested fourteen different patch cables, and five of my top six are on sale in the Cyber Monday guitar deals.
Having tested so many different patch cables and used many more in my own pedalboard builds, I can honestly say that there’s no real noticeable sound difference when comparing offerings from established brands. Yes, you might pick up some microphonic noise from ultra-cheap cables you find on Amazon, but for the most part, all the patch cables I've used sound exactly the same from one another.
What really matters is the durability and options that patch cables offer you. The former means you can rest assured knowing they’ll last when putting your pedalboard through the rigors of live playing, while the latter ensures you’ve got enough flexibility to route your cables exactly as you need.
