00:00Okay, so if you've ever spent an hour crawling around on the floor, wiggling cables, trying to figure out which
00:05pedal killed your signal, this one's for you.
00:08Patch cables are the most ignored part of a pedal board and honestly the most likely thing to fail.
00:13So I dug through the listings, checked the ratings, checked what people are actually buying, and pulled together the top
00:195 patch cables worth your money right now.
00:22Let's get into it.
00:24Starting off with the 15, 30 and 50 centimeter right angle patch cables with the metal heads.
00:30What I like here is the flexibility, you're not locked into one length, so you can grab short ones for
00:35pedals sitting side by side and longer runs for that awkward jump to the second row.
00:39Those solid metal connector housings feel reassuring too, because the plastic ones are usually the first thing to crack when
00:45you're packing down in a dark venue.
00:48It's $37.83, it's got over 4,700 sold and a 4.8 rating, and for a set that covers
00:55basically every gap on your board, that's a pretty easy call.
00:59Next up, the 6-pack of 7.8-inch patch cables, available in black or colorful.
01:05Now, 7.8 inches is that sweet spot length long enough to reach, short enough that you're not stuffing loops
01:10of slack behind your pedals.
01:12And the color option is genuinely useful, not just cosmetic.
01:17When something goes wrong mid-set, being able to glance down and go, okay, the blue one saves you real
01:22time.
01:23These are $51.99 with a 4.9 rating from nearly 3,800 buyers, and getting 6-in-one go
01:30means you're wiring up a whole board in one afternoon.
01:33Third, the Miwire 4-pack flat patch cables.
01:37These are the ones for anyone running a tight, crowded pedal board.
01:41The flat, low-profile connectors sit almost flush against the pedal, so you claw back a surprising amount of space,
01:47sometimes enough to squeeze in one more pedal you swore you didn't have room for.
01:51They come in lengths from 5 to 50 centimeters, so you can plan your routing properly.
01:57At $60.49 they're the priciest here, but they're sitting at a perfect 5-star rating,
02:03and if space on your board is the problem, these solve it.
02:06Coming in at number 4, the 15-centimeter patch cables in 3 or 6-packs, black or colorful.
02:1315 centimeters is the classic pedal-to-pedal length,
02:16and if your board is laid out in a straight line with pedals right next to each other,
02:20this is all you actually need.
02:22Right-angle quarter-inch TS plugs, clean simple build, nothing fancy, and that's kind of the point.
02:28It's $50.45, 4.9 stars, over 3,400 sold.
02:34If you want to stop overthinking cables and just get your board wired, grab these.
02:39And finishing the list, the 1, 3 or 6-piece right-angle shielded patch cables with the oxygen-free copper
02:45core.
02:46This is the spec nerd pick.
02:49Oxygen-free copper plus proper shielding means less noise creeping into your chain,
02:53and if you're running high gain or a lot of true bypass pedals, that hum adds up fast.
02:57The fact you can buy just one is great too, whether you need a spare in the gig bag or
03:01you're replacing one dead cable.
03:04$38.21, 4.9 rating, and it's honest value for what you're getting.
03:10All five of these are linked down in the description, so go check the current prices, they move around a
03:15lot.
