D'AddarioGuitar Cable - American Stage - Made in the USA - Geo Tip for Secure Connection - 1/4 Inch Male to 1/4 Inch Male - 10 Feet - Straight Ends - 1 Pack

I should begin by mentioning that I am a bit of a cable snob. My rig whether for recording or playing out is all mogami gold cables through and through. Choosing to go with Mogami has been expensive, but at least I don't have to worry about my cables being an issue. Recently I've decided to incorporate an effects loop into my live rig rather than just do the old fashioned guitar-pedals-amp approach. The idea of shelling out $120 or so on 2 long enough Mogami cables turned me off to the idea, $120 would buy me a darn good pedal rather than some boring cables.Fortunately I came across these. I just bought the one to see how good they are, if it ended up being a big compromise from Mogami Golds I would just keep it as a living room guitar cable or give it away to someone who isn't a cable snob. Turns out these are excellent cables and I'm buying another to make the loop.I A/B'd this 20' cable with a Mogami Gold 18'. The difference was very subtle, with the Planet Waves having a more poppy high end with slightly scooped mids and the Mogami's having a more flat and neutral EQ. Again the difference wasn't much at all, but I would say on the whole that the Mogami's are more transparent. For live guitar though, I actually would prefer the more excited high end from the Planet Waves so they really work for me. I may not use them for recording as I don't like to have any sound coloration that I don't explicitly plan on having.Regarding noise, both cables seemed equal here, which is to say that they do not pick up interference and add noise to your signal. A definite must have feature for me. The tip locking aspect of the planet waves also works very well. I had bought a planet waves cable about 5 years ago that had a feature like this but instead it just ended up getting really stuck inside guitar jacks. I'm glad they fixed this. These cables also don't have a serious tendency of getting knotted up as they have a bit of a stiffness to them, although not too much so as to be too rigid and heavy. I can't speak for long term use quality as I just got one, but they seem very well built.Overall I would recommend these to anyone, whether they are a discerning pro with lots of funds or a starting musician on a budget. I especially would recommend these to a starting player since usually the cheap cables you buy to spend more on other stuff end up choking your sound to a significant degree. Also these are made in America - that's why I was inclined to give them a shot even though they didn't say mogami on them. Very glad I did. If only they sold pedal patch cables like these, I might end up switching to Planet Waves entirely for live and keeping my expensive Mogamis for recording work only.

I bought this cable in 2016. I’ve been using it exclusively since then, now I’m not gigging with it. I’m just playing myself or sometimes at a friend’s house. But I’ve played at least a couple times a week since I bought it. It’s been stepped on, yanked rolled over with desk chairs & it still keeps its shape. Still rolls up nice. No problems with loose connections or anything else.It’s a great cable, I’ve had many cheaper cables that have failed after 2-3 years but this cable is superior in every way. Now I’m buying two new ones for my effects loop. Awesome cable!

In an over saturated world full of numerous music gear companies, welcome to planet waves! It’s crazy trying to find a cable to trust with sooooo many different companies making knock off cables and cords. I’ve had two American stage cable for about three Years now and they are incredibly faithful. The end connecter makes a clean fit and solid connection with my amp and pedals. I’ve gone through several other brands and series, but I’m a huge fan of the Planet Waves American stage. They are super sturdy and well made. I run a 30ft from my amp to my pedal board, and the clarity it awesome. Cables are a huge part of your tone, so don’t settle for the cheap knock offs. I’m not crazy about the cheaper Planet waves cables, but this is my go to series.

I think these cables are fantastic! I've used high end cables such as Mogami and Monster and I will say those high end cables do hold your tone really really well, but these Planet Waves American Stage cables also are great for keeping your tone. They probably don't do quite as good as something like a Mogami gold cable, but I also don't think the tiny difference in tone (generally imperceptible to the average person) is worth the extra $40 per cable.With that in mind, I bought super cheap cables a couple years ago, they were something like $7 each for 20ft cables. Well now they suck, my tone isn't as good, they constantly cut in and out, I get buzzing and electrical interference, it's a mess. That being said, I do think the difference in price between super cheap cables and something like these Planet Waves cables IS worth the money. I'll never go back to really cheap cables again.

I’ve been using this exact cable for 4+ years without issue. I’ve traveled to and from many places with this trusty cable. Love it

I've had this cable so far for about a month now, and I haven't had any problems (but of course with any cable, only time will tell). This cable is definitely an upgrade from the live wire cables I normally use. This one is thicker than Live Wire, yet not as thick as monster cables. I am actually ok with that though because it makes the cable more flexible and manageable. The casings around soldered parts of the jacks are very sturdy and don't have the problem where the rubber in that area wears out like they do with the Live Wire. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter too much what cord you use just as long as it transfers your signal, but I can tell you that you don't have to be as careful with a Planet Waves cable as you would have to be with a Live Wire.EDIT: I've had this cord for about a year now, and it's been working great. I loved it so much that I bought another one. These things are definitely built to take some abuse.
