WTB Patch Cables

...specifically, low profile ones.  Doing preliminary wiring of my new board with my Fender tweed cables which look cool but are doing my head in with the space they take up and their resistance to being bent where I want them to go.

What I *think* I need are something like Van Damme low profile cables but happy to consider decent alternatives if anyone's selling.  Need about a dozen.

I could probably sort you out with a bunch of Van Damme/Hicon pancake jobbies if that’s any good.

If those are the things that look like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Units-Ultra-Flexible-Instrument-Low-Profile-Connectors/dp/B016MJ5G9M/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1511722300&sr=8-10&keywords=Van+Damme+patch+cables+low+profile

(longest link in the history of the internet) then that would be entirely wonderful

Yup, same jacks by the look of it (although the ones in your link are branded differently). These:


Plus van Damme cable. I’ll drop you a PM...

Yeah those look like the things.  Space savers.

I have a load of those hicon ended cables and you have to be careful with some pedals as the heads on the hicon are so damn wide. If you have top mounted Jack's they can be a bitch

It’s a valid point, but, looking at the board you wish to wire I can’t envisage any problems.

Warwick Rock Board cables are super low profile and come in a variety of different lengths. Can't recommend them highly enough.
