Spectraflex Fatso Flex Instrument Cable, 21 Foot, Violet

Amazing quality as always! Been using a spectraflex cable on stage 2-3 a week for the last 4 years and it has never ever let me down! It's an expensive cable... but it really is a get what you pay for situation here! It's just top quality and looks and sounds like a rockstar cable should! Get one!! I bought this one for my studio so I didn''t have to take my live one out of the case anymore! Live for Live and Studio for Studio now! Pumped to make it my number one studio cable!! Welcome to your new home little buddy!

Music as a hobby using the best cables. 😃 I bought them.

I have two of these cables and have had no problems with them at all. I play about onehour a day almost every day. They are a bit beefier than simple rubber jacketedinstrument cables but the black braid cover does add some panache and possibly moreprotection on stage or around the home studio.Spectraflex claims that the "Multi-layer Braid Technology aids in flexibility and noisereduction". I am assuming they mean noise reduction braiding and not their exterior cablecover that appears braided. I believe most cables need to use some sort of noisereduction shielding or the microphone would interfere with the instrument cable and causeunwanted noise. Either a foil or a combination of foil and braided copper is used for noisereduction in instrument cables. From what I understand if you are going to play loud youneed very good shielding for your cable. Bottom-line: I had no noise from these or otherinstrument cables.Nonetheless, this cable is made of 20AWG wire with an ultra-pure copper center conductorand has 39 pF/ft. capacitance. The cable is made in the USA and is reasonably pricedwhich is why I bought this cable in the first place. This cable, for the price, getsvery good reviews from some music-techno-geeks. It doesn't have the best capacitance,like the Lava Magma at 29.5 pF/ft., but it is priced to fit your budget.So I can recommend this cable because of its spiffy look and its lack of any problems inthe last 2 years. The covering is still intact and the plugs are still tight and workingwithout issue.I gave it 4 stars because it is the best cable for the money but is a bit harder to handlewhen coiling due to the cloth braided jacket...NOTE: Go to SF Guitarworks' [sfguitarworks.com/] web site. They have published their testingfrom 2010 with regard to instrument cables and tone. What is nice is that it is presentedfairly simply and helps explain capacitance and why a lower number MIGHT be a better spec.

I bought this cable after reading reviews comparing it to the high end cables, (Monster, Mogami), and couldn't be happier. I own all different cables including Spectraflex Baldees, lava cable and Monster Cables, and after a few days with the Fatso Flex, it is just as good and costs less than most of the cables mentioned above. I dug up an old Live Wire cable, (sold by Guitar Center) which was relatively cheap and the Fatso Flex was worlds better using a modded Les Paul into a tube head, it was dead silent.The cable sounds just as good and is as quiet as the more expensive Monster cables IMO in both solid state and a small tube amp. The cable also coils up nice and the connectors look like they are built to last. I have owned other Spectraflex cables for years which haven't given me any noise feedback or bad connectors, so I gave these a shot. I know of a few boutique cables which are more expensive , but these may sound just as good for less money.For a few bucks more, I would buy this cable over cheaper models. I did hear through comparison testing that the Fatso Flex gives more low end response than other cables like the Monster Rock and George L's, but I never had plans on A-B'ing cables. I would buy another Fatso Flex if I ever needed another cable. Their website has more color and pattern selections than amazon, but these choices are good if you are like me and just want a cable quickly.

Yea so.... this is a GUITAR CABLE. If you were looking for a food processor or a snappy new suit, this is not for you. If what you need, though, is an item to transmit electronic signals from you Telecaster, Les Paul, Jazz bass, or something else of that nature and you have enough money to buy a Spectraflex Fatso Flex cable, I heartily recommend it. Transparent sound (if you were looking for a cable to add a phaser effect or some tremolo, it won't do that) good looking, and "hefty."I was expecting it to be a little more "flexy" and "soft", like the Fender Custom Shop cables I also own but I'm actually glad they aren't. Don't get me wrong, these cables aren't stiff and they resist tangling very well. They are just a tad more firm than I was expecting. I prefer this cable to my Fender Custom Shop cables, Moster Rock (I know, I know, smh) and any of the cheap Planet Waves, ProCo, Rapco, etc junk out there. However, I love the snot out of my Divine Noise cables, even though the are just your plain-looking black rubber jacket type. Of course, those cost twice as much, too!If you want a nice braided cable and these are in your price range, you can't go wrong.
