Instrument cables are not cheap, but if you're expanding your gear and you have some new pedals you're wanting to strap onto your pedalboard you will need some of these. I'm not sure what to say about the sound quality since my stuff isn't state of the art to begin with, but these do what they're supposed to, at a low price! If you're low on cash but need to get some pedals hooked, buy these, then upgrade cables when you have the money if you're unhappy with the quality of these. 4 stars because I like them. Don't love them. Wish the corners were sharper to allow for closer spacing but whatever. Just get those pedals hooked.
