CBI SC Ultra Duty 12 Gauge 1/4" to 1/4" Speaker Cable, 3 Feet

Works exactly like it is supposed too.

I use this cable with my  Kustom The Defender 5H Class A Guitar Amp Head  and my  Kustom Defender 15 Watt Class A Guitar Head , both of which I connect using this cable to  Kustom The Defender 1 x 12 Guitar Extension Cabinet for 5H Head .The CBI cables are well constructed (built like a tank, actually), and the 1/4" fittings mate perfectly with the amps and cabs. I am sure that the clear, clean signals I get from my amps are because of the exceptional construction of these cables, which appear to be engineered to provide optimum signals over a wide range of conditions. They are sufficiently heavy duty to meet the rigors of constant use, and are components that can make or break your sound. I highly recommend this model, especially for connecting amps to cabs.

Four stars only because I've just begun to use them. But they are very well made as all CBI's are. Made in the US. And all my other CBI cables have lasted beyond my expectations. I've seen lots of expensive guitar cords fail after less than a year. But my CBI's are still in use.

Great cables! Nice solid jacks and the cable feels like it's virtually indestructible once you handle it. Great product for a fair price, will be needing more of these! On to the story, I've had an older 3 foot cable from these folks on the back of my Marshall for years that came with it. So naturallyI looked up these guys to find out to get more, these tough cables have stood up to road use and I'm more than comfortable trusting these to handle the same amount of use.

Sounds great. The larger gauge makes a difference in tone. Hard to beat 10 gauge though.

Yes, burly. In fact I discovered something about my bass amp and cabinet with this cable. Using ordinary speaker cables, I was never really able to tell this for certain because I was reaching the limits of what the cables could do before I really could be sure of the problem. But once I switched to this monster, I was able to be fully convinced that my cabinet can take a lot more power than my amp is putting out. At last I've solved the years-long argument over whether I want to bi-amp it.

FALSE ADVERTISING, VERY DISPLEASED. This cable is NOT 12 gauge. Since it is only 20 gauge, not 12 as the title says, I cannot use it as a speaker cable without frying smething due to a lower current capacity. Please fix this inconsistent listing amazon. Still, this is a great 25' 20GA cable, and I will continue to buy CBI products. 5 stars for the cable itself. Only three stars for my transaction experience. This is neither what I wanted or what I thought I would be purchasing. Still need the cable, although I can't trust amazon's listings. Buying instead from zzounds.com.

There's a lot of Amazon.com hype about this cable. I understand. It's cheap. You're not EVH. You don't need Mogami speaker cables. And this is the biggest gauge, and the shortest run, that you can use, from a pretty reputable old company. I bought it to reduce all possibility that that arch enemy of musical awesome more-louder-better -- RESISTANCE -- would get in the way of my phunk rawkin' head bobbin' good times.But here's some truth. Within a couple weeks of use, the pin BENT and became loose and wobbly. I mean, a couple weeks of use in my home. I gently bumped it against the wall a few times when moving my amp and cab. OH no! Maybe dropped it on the fluffy soft carpeted floor. These quarter-inchers are junk. No neutrik jacks here. An old CBI cable of mine did have neutrik jacks. I guess they're cheaping out now. Great!So, I got out the soldering iron. I loaded up a ring of solder around the pin on both ends. Now it's held in place properly. But while I had the sucker apart, I noticed that the soldering job was complete and total weaksauce. The wires were barely attached to the jack! So I beefed that up substantially. I mean, lots of solder went into making solid joints here. It was a pathetic sight.Not to mention that the flimsy screw-on wire shield/jack body does NOTHING to reduce stress on the solder joints. It's loose. It flops around. And if you pull on the wire at all, expect broken solder joints. So, I jury-rigged a solution with a tight wrapping of gorilla tape from wire to jack.Now my cable looks totally janky. It's sticky. It has solder all over it. But at least now I know it won't let me down, at least, for a while. Think about it. If this cable goes, your amp's output transformer goes, maybe more. Get something better. With neutrik jacks.
