We're very excited about this line of cable. These cables are ideal for pedal steel players connecting from 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.
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 read 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.

Every aspect of my experience with Hank and the Rattlesnake crew has been first rate. I was quite surprised that I got a notice that my cable had already been shipped within hours of ordering it. Then I got a personal video message from Hank -- that is taking customer service to a new level! When I received my product, I was again incredibly impressed with the presentation -- the bag it came in, a personal note, stickers, etc. Most importantly, I love the cable. I can see this cable lasting 100,000 concert "road miles." Thanks, Rattlesnake Cables, for a wonderful experience and a tremendous product!

Thoughts about our Service:
The customer service is great! The shipping was so fast! I can’t recommend Rattlesnake cables enough!
What’s not to like about Rattlesnake cables? They are tough, spool up well for tidy packing, and unfurl beautifully for layout wherever you need them. I have been using Hank’s cables since he first developed them and have no desire to use anything else. For me they have the perfect amount of capacitance for great tone and are much mor durable than me!
Thoughts about our Service:
Ridiculously great. I had a great time recently picking my cables up direct from the factory which is conveniently located on a bike path. Hank graciously showed me the new building and their latest products. Thanks buddy, hope to see you again soon!
These cables look and sound amazing. Solidly built and very sturdy.
Thoughts about our Service:
Great customer service. Realized I needed a 90 degree tip instead of straight and sent back the cable to get it changed with no hassle. Fast turnaround.
Hank’s cables are just about bullet proof. Superior quality from tip to tip, which are some of the best available! The jacks are almost completely secured from movement with the addition of the heavy duty heat shrink applied, so these suckers should outlast me. Have no doubt that these will give Mogami a run for their money, plus you can support working musicians who developed a cottage industry to fill very specific needs!
Thoughts about our Service:
I have never had a better purchasing experience. I am not a shill, multiple time paying customer here. The personalized notes, messages and packaging, combined with super fast shipping (2 days from Missoula to Memphis) is nothing compared to Hank himself calling immediately after I placed an order but didn’t realize a promotion was afoot. Hank offered to either credit me or add a few extras to make up the difference. Where have you found this level of personal connection and equity anywhere? Completely awesome dude, superior products. Hands down. I will order again and suggest you go ahead and pull the trigger if you are on the fence.

Just received my latest pedal steel cable from Rattlesnake Cables , in the black/ gray tweed color. As usual , it came in it's own little handy dandy drawstring bag that can be used for cables or many things. It was beautifully made and is of the utmost quality. This is a top shelf company making a top shelf line of products. A-1 all the way. Bravo, Rattlesnake.

Family-Owned Business
Rattlesnake Cable Company started with a simple idea by me - Hank. It quickly encapsulated my entire family, from my kids to my wife, Amy. Now, Amy and I are 100% committed to the success of the business and love that it has grown into a fantastic team moving forward.
We Are Musicians
We are musicians. What does that mean? We know what it feels like when gear fails on stage. We hate that feeling, and we think about that with every build. As musicians, we also know how hard the road can be on gear and focus on making it stand the abuse.

Let me tell you about one of the best days of my LIFE! I have always been a HUGE fan of Rattlesnake Cables since the day a group I was recording came in, and showed me the new cables they had just got. They felt amazing, and they told me they had stood up to all of their shows and everything they had done to that point, and it didn't hurt that it looked good to boot! So after a little research, I ordered my very first cable from them to give it a run, and see how it stood up to the rigors of everyday studio use. To my absolute thrill, it took all the beatings and then some! I still use that cable to this day on every recording that comes thru my studio! So how does this involve my best day ever you ask? Let's just say that from that day forward I had become a bit of a "fanboy" about Rattlesnake Cables. So fast forward a number of years later, and was building a new pedal board for the studio, and I saw on their Instagram that they had started making patch cables. Knowing how great my other cables of theirs had stood the test of time, and not wanting to redo the board every year to replace beat-down cables, I thought it would be worth every penny to get the best available. So I go on their website, select the pack that worked best, and as I was checking out, I saw a new option for pickup, instead of delivery. Well, being extremely blessed that they are located so close, I chose the pickup option to maybe save a couple of bucks. So within hours, Hank Donovan, the owner, and creator of Rattlesnake cables called me personally, to let me know the cables had been made and were ready for pickup. So I went in the following day to pick them up, and I honestly couldn't believe the person to come and meet me at the top of the stairs to hand me my new cables, was Hank himself! I did my best not to fanboy out, but failed miserably as the first words to fall out of my mouth were "It's an honor to meet you"... and only got worse from there. Then Hank offered to give a guided tour of their new building, and I'm pretty sure I blacked out after that because I had died and gone to heaven. Best. Day. EVER! Needless to say, I will use and recommend Rattlesnake cables from now till the day I die. And when it come to re-cabling my recording desk and everything in the studio, I will trust no one, but Rattlesnake cables. Do yourself a favor, invest in things that last, and work as they always should. Rattlesnake cables are the choice for anyone who is serious about their sound. You're welcome.
