Is it time to move away from solderless patch cables for your pedalboard and focus on durability?

When flexibility is essential and getting into tight spaces on your pedalboard, we are offering the Flex Patch Cable! We feel this is one of the best guitar patch cables on the market. If you're looking for durability in a soldered patch cable, look no further!

This cable is our new patch cable with Bare Copper 20AWG conductor and Bare Copper spiral shielding with 98% coverage and a smaller diameter than our instrument cables (.230"). The Flex Patch comes with Rattlesnake RCC Star Audio Pancake plugs with gold signal contacts. We prefer the Rattlesnake RCC Star Pancake plug due to its low profile, but mainly because of its signal/shield lug contacts!

The Flex Patch will come in the following lengths - 6", 8" and 10". Our Flex Patch has a flat price of $10 for each of the 3 lengths. However, any cable length can be made, and we will adjust the price accordingly. If you're looking for custom guitar patch cables for your pedalboard, submit a custom build request. You can upgrade to RCC GGN Right Angle or Square Plug SPS6-S Stubby Straight plugs as well!

Please note, Rattlesnake RCC Star pancakes are great for pedals placed close together - side by side. The pancakes offer a shallow height profile but a more prominent profile in width. Because of this, if you have jacks close together (for example - stereo outs on a pedal or loop strips), you may need to go with a RCC Right Angle to get plugs closer together. The Square Plug SPS6-S Stubby Straight is great for pedal loop strip systems. You can also mix RCC Right Angle, Stubby Straights, and Rattlesnake RCC Star Pancake - select the appropriate plug before adding them to your cart!

Q: Where is your cable manufactured?

Answer

We have a variety of wire mills that we work with. All of the wire mills we work with our in the United States. We take extreme pride that our cable is milled in the United States and hand assembled here in Missoula, Montana.

Q: Does cable capacitance matter with patch cables?

Answer

Typically, cable capacitance is an issue with longer runs so it's not really an issue with patch cables.

Q: Should I use pancakes or G&H right angle for patch cables?

Answer

That's largely dependent on the application and requirements. Pancakes will give you a lower profile in height, but has a larger footprint on width (.82" wide). Some pedals with narrow jack placement can have issues with pancakes. The G&H right angle has a narrow profile in width (.50"), but is taller than a pancake.

Q: What's the benefit for the G&H stubby straight plugs?

Answer

Stubby straights are great for switching systems or with pedals that have narrow jack placement. The Stubby Straight has a shorter barrel (1.05") length.

Q: Why U-Config vs. S-Config?

Answer

U-Config is the default standard where plugs are facing the same direction. This is ideal for pedals next to each other with jacks on the side. If you have a situation where one pedal has side jacks and the pedal next to it has top mounted jacks - the S-Config fits great. Also, if you require a long patch from one pedal on a bottom row to a pedal on the top row on the opposite side, a S-Config would work great.

Q: I want longer or shorter patch cables listed. How can I purchase?

Answer

We offer the most popular lengths for the type of patch cables. If you need something special, please submit a custom build request and we'll get back to you with the ability to purchase your specific cables.

Q: What is the weaving made of?

Answer

The weave is a poly-weave, meaning it's a plastic polymer-based weave. We use a variety of brands, but primarily TechFlex. It's designed to be heat and abrasion resistant. It is not a cloth/fabric weave, which tends to fray and stain easily.

Testimonial:

Awesome cables and even better customer service! I've had a couple of orders and both shipped within hours of placing the order. Hank also did a TON of personalization so that was just awesome. Can't say enough great things. If you're a gigging musician a custom cable loom is a must.

What Bob W. Said...

Testimonial:

I've been using Rattlesnake cables for my rig since the early days, when Hank was running the shop out of his basement. The quality of the build and the components is evident from the moment you plug in. These are pro level cables. I now have about half a dozen guitar cords in my collection, with a variety of ends and heads. I'm a working musician, and I know that when there's some kind of equipment failure onstage, one thing I know is that it won't be the Rattlesnake cable. They're made by musicians for musicians. These are my people!

Thoughts about our Service:

Ten years ago I had one cable with a plastic connector that cracked after being carelessly dropped onto concrete surface many times. Rattlesnake immediately replaced it with an upgraded Neutrik metal connector, no charge. I'm fortunate (smart?) enough to live in Missoula, so I dropped by the shop recently and was given a complete tour by Hank himself. The staff was rockin' and upbeat, cranking out these quality cables like a bunch of elves in Santa's toy shop. We're lucky to have Rattlesnake as a part of our local economy, and our community!

What was purchased:

Guitar cables, 10', 15', with snake heads, both angled and straight ends. Also a set of 6 patch cables for my pedal board.

What Nick C. Said...

Testimonial:

I have been looking for good patch cables for a long time and I have finally found some! These cables are excellent quality; I could tell before even removing from them from the package. Solid construction, good weight and great flex to the cables. They noticeability improved my tone as well. If you are tired of failing cables, grab some of these. They are built to last :)

Thoughts about our Service:

The Rattlesnake Team was immediate in responding to questions and even sent a personal video thanking me for the purchase. Rattlesnake Cable Company is clearly a customer dedicated small business.

Testimonial:

I recently ordered cables from Rattlesnake and miscalculated some of the measurements. After receiving my email, and without asking, Hank called me personally to help get my order right. I use extreme care to keep my tone pristine and keep noise out of my signal chain. Rattlesnake cables are the best custom cables I've found, and their service is second to none! I am grateful to have them.

Testimonial:

I've been on the list for a while and finally pulled the trigger for a new set of instrument cables. I'm an engineer and am skeptical of claims of tone improvement from hardware as simple as a cable, maybe it's there maybe it's not but things did sound sweeter even with 2x20 footers with my board in the middle. Happy to support a cool small business out here in the west!

Thoughts about our Service:

Excellent turn around time and the crew at rattlesnake was awesome and very communicative, great website and love the pedal line Friday pics

2 regular 20' instrument cables and six patch cables

Simply the best. Finest quality product at a non-premium price and direct customer service from the owner of the company. Business the way it should be done. Apple, Google and AT&T take note.

These instrument cables are hands down the best cables on the market. I have been playing for over 50 years and the durability as well as noise rejection are key qualities sought after by every musician that performs. The customer support and selection available make these cables the obvious choice... Read

"Thanks to Hank and Rattlesnake Cables I no longer worry about cables being something that might fail during shows. I have been using several Rattlesnake Cables for a few years now with never an issue. 50 years doing shows, years on the road as a player,stage manager,tour manager, years in the A/V biz as a director I have seen a lifetime of failed cables. Top dollar, low budget,home made. A myriad of broken cables in a pile. Rattlesnake has solved this dilemma. They sound amazing, they roll up easier then any cable I've ever used before and they look fantastic. I'm eagerly looking forward to our next show with my new coily and pedalboard cables. Thanks Rattlesnake Team. The best!" I received Super helpful service, personal touch from Hank, great packaging, rapid response. Lightening shipping. Excellent
