pro snake Patch Angled Jack 0,30 m

I ordered several of these pro snake patch cables with different lengths. Over time and several uses, lots of them broke. Some of them even after just a few days of use.

Because of this, especially if you have lots of pedal in your pedalboard setup, these would not be reliable. If you want to have your pedalboard transported to a gig and when you unpack it to work perfectly, these are not for you since they are not reliable and therefore not build to last.

In my case, I need lots of patch cables to run all my pedalboard in and out through the switch (14 patch cables). That's why I moved to another type of patch cables, in my case, after some investigation, some EBS PCFs. Never regretted the change.

Ordered 4 of those, one solder point already broke. The cable is very neatly wrapped and it looks like high-quality work. Which only meant that I had to dig in and destroy the wrapping before I could fix my cable.

The wiring was barely long enough to touch the contact point. It was held together by a small amount of solder and the aforementioned wrapping.

The jacks are fine, I like them. The cable is a bit thin and it wobbles around, even with the wrapping trying to thicken it up. It's very easy to put strain on the weak contact between wire and jack when you wobble the cable. It needs more wire touching the contact pad and more solder.

Would not trust them for serious gigging. I will be getting into all of these to inspect and strengthen their soldering, which defeats the purpose of buying pre-made cables.

It's sort of what you'd expect when buying a cheap patch cable. It's light on the wallet, does the job that it's supposed to do and the build quality is neither the best nor the worst. I got a couple of these and used them on my pedalboard when I was starting out and they worked fine. There was a slight audible hiss, but it wasn't that distracting. However, once I changed the cables (and nothing else) the hiss was gone and it felt like the tone was also a bit warmer. All in all, it's a good cheap product, but if you have the opportunity to upgrade I'd recommend doing so.

I got a few of these as spares to keep around. The jacks feel reassuringly weighty and the cable is thick, which is good.

These are perfectly fine, audio-wise. They're not gold, obviously, but you wouldn't expect that at this price anyway!

My only gripe is that of the three or four of these I got, one of the jacks turned out to be a bit crooked, causing unwanted and unnecessary wear on the sockets in my pedals. As they are so cheap I just replaced the jack, but it seems the quality isn't the most consistent. Nonetheless, for the price, I'd probably take a chance on these again.
