Hi,
My guitar cable broke last night....  I need to get a new one, I dont need anything massive, infact as small as possible, possibly 2, one from amp to pod and pod to guitar. I seen the likes of MONSTER ROCK, ELIXIR CABLES etc.. is there a prefered one? I dont want a cheapy but a decent one. Also im pretty sure I bought this before: http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/74312 And it never worked with my guitars because it couldnt be used with Active Pickups or something, it wasnt giving the proper gain out of it, does anyone know why or have any info on this? Thanks, Rowan -------------------- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Each cable should be fine for either passive or active electronic if it works ok of course,
maybe the one you bought wasn't working fine in a first place, dunno. As for the brands, those that you listed are pretty much top class, Monster, Elixir, GeorgeL's , Planet Waves etc -------------------- Youtube

If you choose from top brands that Muris mentioned you can't go wrong.I recommend paying a little extra and getting a quality cable , its worth it because it will last you a long time (if take care of it of course)...

I think the PlanetWaves never worked because it was Stereo or MONO or something like that?

Sorry for double posting, I just ordered two of the MONSTER 12A (Straight - Angled) cables from eBay for total of £70)
Are monster cables good and worth the money? -------------------- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Monster is great, price varies a bit in different countries and stores but it's a good buy no matter what.

Monster cables are great. I've had some of those.
But lately i've been saving abit by using Fender Vintage Voltage cables. They seem to be really durable, and they sound top notch. -------------------- Guitars: Schecter Stiletto Classic, Jackson SLSMG, Ibanez RG-380 Japan, Gibson Les Paul Studio
Amp: Marshall JMP-1 -> Rocktron Velocity 100 -> Marshall JCM-900 Lead 4x12 FX and stomps: T.C Electronics G-Sharp, Korg SDD-1200, Emma Transmorgrifier, BYOC Tribooster, GGG Green Ringer, Dinosaur Overdrive, Voodoo Lab SuperFuzz, Sovtek Bassballs, Line6 Tap Tremolo, EHX Screaming Bird. ___________________________________________________ My Lessons!

I can confirm that quality cables live longer. I'm not sure about the influences on the sound though. I actually wanted to make some tests but I'm really busy with my "exams" right now :/ I use Sommer Cables, they seem to be quite good and the price is ok. Those really expensive cables seem to be a bit esoteric to me.

For off the shelf guitar cable then I tend to stick with PW. For custom made cables (which I use in the studio) I like Proel cable and neutrik connectors. For those of you in the UK - try here.

Did anyone recommend Klotz? They are top notch as well. I like this model specially:
