- Great for hooking up all you gear for little money... plenty of length (sometimes too long) these and other Radioshack cables are really good and easy to manage when setting up internal feedback loops
- Good Points: You can get them at any Radioshack... nearly all of my cables (patch cables/other) are from Radioshack... They work well for how much you pay and they're flexible and light.
- Bad Points: Noisier than pro-quality, but what do you expect?
- Price Paid: US$3.00
- Purchased At: Radioshack

- Gets the job done, I love these things.

- I buy most of my audio cables from Radio Shack, because they work and they're not as expensive as those robber-baron guitar store ones.
- Good Points: They work. Not much hum at all, if you treat them nicely.
- Bad Points: Not as heavily protected/insulated as guitar cables from, say, Guitar Center.
- Price Paid: US$5.00

- I can thank both poverty and this review column for turning me on to this particular line of cables. Radio shack brand cables come in assorted lengths, all of which have practical applications with an ambient/noise guitar setup as large and varied as my own.
- Good Points: Capable of enduring a great deal of abuse. Do not produce unwanted noise.
- Bad Points: The type depicted here can sometimes be inflexible when situated at an odd angle. Radio Shack seems to be gradually phasing out its own brand with Monster Cables (so grab some cheap while you can).
- Price Paid: US$3.00
- Purchased At: Rat Shack, USA

- Good Points: cheap, convenient, durable.
- Bad Points: none, really.

- Yeah, I got some of these recently. They're great when you have a lot of pedals and you don't want long cables. The angled ends are great, and the cables are noise-free.
- Good Points: Nice and short Angled ends Noise-free

- i have a bunch of these from about two years and havent had one break. i did have to get a couple more, and found that radio shack, in all their marketing brilliance decided to discontinue making these. so i checked on ebay and found some geetar store selling a similar product from a diffirent manufacturer. the quality didn't change much between the two brands, so im pretty sure its safe to say theyll get the job done.
- Good Points: cheap...
- Bad Points: ...if you can find them.

- Purchased At: various (in 12 packs)

- Luckily the Radio Shack where I live still has a decent supply of these, though only in the single package. As everyone else has said, not the highest quality, but will do the job just as well. The 1' length makes 'em invaulable for odd pedal chains and combinations where the shorter patch cables just won't reach and it would be ridiculous to use a 6' or 8' cord. I'll definitely be picking up a few more before they're gone forever.
- Good Points: 1' length useful in a variety of situations where either shorter or longer cables won't do, relatively inexpensive.
- Bad Points: Cheap construction
- Price Paid: US$3.00
- Purchased At: Radio Shack

- What more could you want...cheap cords in terms of price but never once failed during any of my recordings OR my live shows. Get them if you can find them because they are now discontinued.
- Good Points: Cords..they work? Duh.
- Bad Points: None other than being discontinued.
- Price Paid: US$10.00

- RadioShack seems to be failing to stock a lot of their cables lately, but these are the hardest to find. it's like 10 bux for 6 cables and they do come in handy because hardly anywhere else can you find 1 foot cables with two right angle 1/4" connectors for this cheap. Everywhere else sells overpriced "special" gold plated or whatever cables, which even for someone who wants to make studio clear sound gets ripped off. They are good cables, last a long time in my opinion. I recently made myself a pedal board and secured everything down and i invested in those all metal couplings to chain my pedals together and they work great, no hum that i can tell. I still use these cables though to route between my suppresor and the pedals because they are the perfect length and don't make a huge mess on my setup.
- Good Points: cheap, great length, right angle connectors, radio shack has lots of handy wires.
- Bad Points: none really... nothing i didn't expect.
- Price Paid: US$10.00

- i buy these in the 6 packs Radio Shack sells, although recently i've had some troubles tracking them down. they work well enough and they are nice and cheap. that being said, keep in mind that they are CHEAP - cheaply made. all of mine have lasted. decent length for running a pedals out back into its in.
- Good Points: uh cheap and plentiful. the 6 cords in the pack are colored different so i guess that is cool.
- Bad Points: poorly shielded, get some hum when plugging 'em in. hell, it is noise so it isn't a big deal but they will buzz a bit.
- Price Paid: US$11.00
- Purchased At: 6-pack @ Radio Shack
