Sommer Cable Spirit XS Highflex 0,3

I use a single 30cm Sommer cable when I need to break up my signal chain on my small and tightly packed pedalboard. The extra length allows me to connect two pedals on opposite ends of the board if I need to. The cable is flexible enough to manipulate it anyway you want (I usually have it under my board and twist it around quite a bit so as to avoid crossing paths with other cable).

Having used it quite regularly in these twisted positions, it is showing no signs of wear after some months and can always be reshaped without straining. The flat jacks take up minimum space. If it wasn't as expensive as it (understandably) is, I would probably use this cable or similar ones for all my effects.

Let me first state that i am new to the pedal world and i didnt know alot about pedals or cables or in what order do you connect your pedals in to get the best tone out of them.

But before i bought these cables i went to my local music store and bought some cheap 0.5 meter patch cables and hook up my pedal board and plug in my guitar and amp and the first thing i notice was alot of interfearance (white noise) so i went onto my computer and after doing my research i found out that the noise could be coming from bad patch cables (cheap bad shielding) and that you can reduce the noise by buying some preamium patch cables with good shielding.

So i took a leap of faith and went onto thomann and found these cables, and what do you know i connected them to my pedals and the noise was gone like it never excisted so to me these cables are wonderfull and i did not mind paying the premium price for them.

And then the first reason why i clicked on these cables in the first place, the flat head connecters first of all they look cool in my books because you dont seem them that often and then they save alot of room on your pedal board which is always handy because i can keep my pedal looking tidy.

pros
good shielding
come in different lenght
very robust
flat head connecters

cons

The only con of this cable is the price and to be honest i dont mind because you get what you pay for and this a good cable should last me a few years
