Hosa IRG-600.5 Low-Profile Right Angle to Right Angle Guitar Patch Cable - 6 inch (6-Pack)

I've recently been buying a few pedals for my guitar set up. I realized I didn't have any short cables to go between pedals so I bought these because they were relatively inexpensive. Before I go into this though, I want you to realize that I'm not just a hobbyist musician, I am a semi-professional meaning I regularly gig and make money doing it. I've been playing guitar for 10 years, playing bass for longer, and I've done plenty in the technology side of things including sound system design/installation and recording. I have built cables, I have used high end cables from Mogami, Monster, Lava, Fender, Planet Waves, and several other brands. Trust me, I know the benefits that come from having high end quality cables. That being said, here's the deal. For short patch cables, these Hosa 6" cables work great. They are so short in length that you really don't have to worry much about tone and signal loss especially if you get something like the CMAT Mods Buffer to put at the beginning of your signal chain. They have a really nice build quality to them and the flat connectors allow you to place your pedals really close to each other. For patch cables, they work great, I have no issues with tone loss or cables going bad. Additionally, my father has a set of these cables that he's been using for many years and not once has he had an issue with them so I know that these cables are very durable. Don't be fooled by the price of these patch cables, they may be relatively cheap but they are definitely quality cables.

Used it for a pedal board with 5 pedals. No buzz, no hum or static. No frills but does the job brilliantly. They sit pretty low profile and doesn’t take up valuable space on a tight pedal board. The round heads may be on a larger side though and might interfere with the power input on some pedals. The length of cables are nice but can be a little tad long. But that’s just being picky. Would recommend.

These cables are great, slim, inexpensive and worth every penny just buy them...DO IT, you won't regret it, I added some pictures so you can see how they look and function, overall you can save about an inch per connection and fit them in those tight squeeze spaces. They are fairly easy to bend, twist and turn after a few times plugging and unplugging. Good deal for good cables, will be buying more and some extras!!!

The pros: These are a great value, and they really freed up some horizontal space on my pedal board. I also like how flexible the chords themselves are. Unlike stiffer cables, these don't feel compromised by twists and bends. They don't appear to introduce any noise. I'm running isolated power to each pedal, so I would think that would become obvious if they were. The cons: These appear to be hastily produced. Almost half of the screws (10 out of 24) needed attention. Eight were loose and two were just rolling around in the box. An easy fix, but it says something about the production process that I would have liked to have known in advance. It makes me wonder if these will fail sooner than later.

I have been using these patch cables for over four years on my pedal boards. They are very well made with quality wire and soldered to hold up. They are extremely flexible I have had one solder break out of 24 of these patch cables. I broke the solder joint because I abusively twisted it with a 90 degree very short bend, my fault. I have had other patch that cost three time what these cost gold plated and all and they do not sound any better. If you think about it, when you are connecting a bunch of effects pedals you will not hear any difference in you tone or signal with any quality cable as there is so much going on between you various pedals and amplifier.

Just save yourself the money and get these first so you're not replacing patch cables later. You, I, and everyone else know you're adding more pedals to that board soon, so just get these and save yourself the hassle of replacing things down the line. They do exactly what you'd expect. I have no unwanted noise or any other issues. If I had to make one complaint the connectors feel a bit thin and flimsy but that's just me.

These Hosa Guitar patch cables work well. They have a small plate around the plug which (time will tell) seems like it will offer more stability and less movement in the jack than a standard 1/4 jack that I have previously used. These patch cables are light and flexible, and leave a small imprint between pedals. Because different pedals have their plug-in power source at different places on the pedals, these cables may have to sometimes go over or under the power cord, depending how your pedal is designed. I have not found the insert jacks to get in the way of power supplies. So far, these seem a solid product.

Perfect size cable to link my pedals together. Also ended up ordering 2 1ft cables as well to work with my NS-2 and Maxon808 where the six inch just wasn't long enough for what I needed. The only con (and for most won't be a problem) is that although the plugs are low profile, the width of the plugs can be a little inconvenient. Again, this is speaking about my Boss NS-2 noise suppressor. I had to use a normal patch cable in place of two of these. I will try to post a picture to explain what I am trying to say. However quality is top notch and they fit tight in my pedals, where some older ones seemed to just "sit in" the socket and felt like they could easily fall out. 9/10.

Excelentes cables los llevo usando por 3 meses y no eh tenido problemas de ruidos o de continuidad. No son muy largos, pero desde que los ví supe supe como los utilizaría, dentro de mi pedalboard. Además el envío se realizó en menos de un día natural.

These thing are great. Quality feel. Nice profile. Good price. Perfect.

Been using Hosa patch leads for several years now and they have become my go to. Well worth using, yet to have any fail.

Ultra fast delivery as my order arrived next day (Prime next day delivery) and all patch cables worked great after testing them all with a few pedals! No line noise or hum and the size (or lacktherof!) keeps my pedals nice and snug and no excessive cable clutter! Very impressed and will order these again when I need new cables!

Length is an issue otherwise.
