Which cables should I go for?

[horus66]

I am sick of buying cheap ass cables. I need two good ones, my options are Orange crush ten, ernie ball six four one two flex. And fender original surf green. If you have any other options then please please recommend, i need long lasting good cable, I am a broke ass college student.

Make them yourself. Use Canare wire and Neutrik ends. They will be less expensive than boutique cables and last forever.

This is the way.

I like this cable because its twisted pairs for noise reduction:

Canare L-4E6S Quad mic Cable | Redco Audio

Then just grab some neutrik ends from here:

TS Connectors | Redco Audio

I agree, rolling your own is the most cost effective. Otherwise check out JerroStomps on Reverb.

Soldering up instrument cables is not difficult. Neutrik plugs are very good especially the Silent Plug. There are many brands of cable that are top notch. You can do it for less money and can customize the length and the plugs, right angle or straight.

yo i've been using the same basic ProCo™ cables i purchased in 2001 and they've held up grate. so whatever u do, don't waste your money on stuff like Monster cables

Rob's right: ProCo is a great option if you don't have the ability to make your own.

If you frequently break the cable connections due to rugged wear, then you should buy a cable that can be taken apart and you can fix it with a soldering iron and stuff

If you don't feel like building your own (weird I know since this is a Warmoth forum), another very economical option is Seismic Audio on Reverb; very, very cheap prices on weird length cables, often in bundles. Has helped me reduce 12 feet in my normal 4-cable setup and also been a great solution for patchbay balanced connections.
