the sssnake SMP6BK

A brief intro to explain the reasons for purchase (and why its the same review for each item):

I currently use a rack system with items gathered over the years. To "control" this I have put together a pedal board comprising of a midi controller, 2 stereo volume pedals and an expression pedal. I purchased a number of cables from Thomann in order to connect the rack to the pedal board. These are:

Cordial CFM 6,0 VV
(Stereo cable used to connect the expression pedal from the board to the multi effects unit)

the sssnake MPP4060
(4 mono connectors to connect ach of the volume pedal outs to the mixer in the rack)

pro snake TPA 1003 MB (x4)
(Rack mixer has XLR (4) and jack (2) ins, these allow me to be flexible as to where I plug into the mixer and provide a bit of future proofing)

the sssnake SK366-6-Blk Midi
(Midi to connect the midi controller to multi effects for patch changing)

the sssnake SMP6BK
(Output from wireless receiver in rack to pedal board volume pedal)


In order to make my own multicore I used spiral wrap to keep them all together. The beauty here is that I was able to find cables of the same length as opposed to having to "adjust" one or two in order to fit. So far I've had no issue with any of the items, all are solid and well made. Have gigged a few times with my "multicore" and had no issues so far (except finding somewhere for the excess in small spaces! - my own fault). Obviously a big thing with cables is noise/signal loss etc. but I certainly haven’t noticed any detrimental effects to my sound/tone.

I've started using Thomann for most things recently and one thing I have noted is the consistent quality of the products (regardless of manufacturer) which points to the fact that they are hot on providing excellent quality gear. Long may it continue :))

I've bought this cable almost 2 years ago, and I haven't used it much since. The main reason why I needed this was to plug my Samson Q7 mic directly to a guitar amp. For this type of job it worked fine.
Recently I've tried to use it with my PA system, but because the cable is unbalanced, the signal is quite low. Also, I've noticed that it affects the quality of the sound a little bit. I've tried it with an SM58 / 57 and also with a Sennheiser E 906 and it's the same thing...
It doesn't feel so reliable, too, despite the other 'the sssnake' cables which are nicely made.
So, now I just keep it as backup in case one day I run out of cables.
I wouldn't recommend this cable for any other job then using it with a small amp for those who doesn't have a PA system.
