We're very excited about this line of cable. These cables are ideal for pedal steel players connecting from their pedal steel to the volume pedal. 3' cable typically with straight to right angle Neutrik Nickel plugs (Neutrik Golds are also available). Colors include red, black, sage, dirty tweed, blue, copper and mean green. Pedal Steel Cables are $35 each.
No, our cables are not directional. If you're purchasing a Snake Head, the Snake Head portion should be on the instrument side, but that only is cosmetic. The cable will work fine if plugged in any direction.
Some of our customers swear by gold contacts. Some of our customers can't hear a difference. Gold does provide a better contact surface, but the signal improvement may be hard to notice. Some of our customers (including myself) just like the cosmetic look of the black shells with gold contacts. If you're in a humid climate and deal with corrosion, gold might be better for you as well.
When people ready that, the first assumption is that the copper is somehow 'air tight'. Nope. OFBC is part of the smelting process where the oxygen molecules are smelted out or removed to a point where it's below .001%. This makes a very pure copper allowing for great conductivity.
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.

As a working musician I keep my instruments and gear organized in "kits". These kits have all the supporting gear for the instrument or instruments I am using in a performance.
Dobro, Lap Steel, Pedal Steel all require different pedal boards, stands and sound reinforcement equipment.
My cables were an odd assortment of cables that I had acquired over the years.
The criteria for cable replacement was "when it failed during a show" it was replaced. This lead to some disastrous cable failures at really bad times.
I knew I had to get my cables in order. So I did the research to find the Best Quality Cables, backed by the best company.
My conclusion was Rattlesnake Cable Company. Handmade cables made in the Western USA.
Now every instrument kit has Rattlesnake Cables.
Here is a pro tip: Color code your cables!
Got a red guitar , get red cables. To the pedal board and to the amp.
Most of the time there is a lot of confusion clearing a stage. People are in a hurry.
This is where you loose cables! Black cables get rolled up and carried away accidentally.
Get odd matching colors for a particular instrument.
Thoughts about our Service:
The Rattlesnake customer service is outstanding.
I asked a simple question via an online order and received an phone call to clarify my question an hour later.
Thats real "Western Service"!
I always heard about Rattlesnake Cables and had seen them. I ordered a Purple one and I love it!!! I then ordered a couple of Midnight Purple and a couple of Grey.... all with Rattlesnake ends. Then, I got a couple Speaker Cables.
I LOVE these cables. The tone is true and they are durable.... plus, they look really cool.
But, the test is in the tone. I’ve noticed no tone loss with these cables. I can trust that when I plug in I’m gonna be happy.
Also, the fact that you can message Hank and he is very quick in responding. That, for me, has been icing on the cake with his customer service.
Well done!!!!
I’ll be ordering more very soon!!!!
Thoughts about our Service:
Stellar. Top notch.
What was purchased:
Rattlesnake Cables... purple, grey, midnight purple
Red Speaker Cables
Red Steel Gtr Cables that I use for connecting pedals that are not always on my pedal board. They are the perfect length and ends.

In sum, I am grateful for these high quality cable options--your flex patches and coiled cables have helped me seriously clean up my pedalboard with respect to signal-to-noise ratio. Moreover, because these cables add essentially zero noise (especially important for the longer guitar to amp/efx pedals), I can also use them to troubleshoot pedal board organization and to find noisy pedals. I do have a couple issues. The first being somewhat minor: I've nearly slipped on the abrasion resistant snake head weave. Due to the weave material (which contributes to the abrasion resistance I imagine), the cable is very slippery on wood flooring. The second issue being with the pancake flex cables--these simply do not work with stereo input/outputs. The connections are too wide. I understand that the other options exist. Unfortunately, none of these options fit through the slots in my pedal board. The latter not being much of an issue. Perhaps more specs regarding sizes would help.
Thoughts about our Service:
Brilliant! Hasty responses even on the weekend. All issues with purchasing (e.g. forgot to apply coupon and cart being deleted after logging off) were resolved promptly and to my satisfaction such that I am looking forward to continue shopping at RattleSnakeCables.
What was purchased:
Snake weave abrasion resistant cable. Pedal steel cable (I use it as a longer cable to return to my Swiss Things pedal--works great). Flex patch cables. Pro flex batch cable.

Testimonial:
I have been using Rattlesnake Cables exclusively for more than a year now. I have a lot of them in various lengths and colors and they are all the best cables made in my opinion. It is always a pleasure to use them and each one I order is always perfect. Made from the best wire and connectors, they are built to last. I won't play anywhere without them. I use them on guitar, bass, and steel guitar and everybody who sees them loves them. It's the only brand I will ever use.
Thoughts about our Service:
Outstanding customer service. Every order is double checked, perfectly made, and arrives quickly and they always make me feel like Hank's favorite customer.
