I previously bought a fender cable (30 bucks!) and it started crackling and popping. This cable? None of that. I also previously bought a rotosound curly right angle cable and that works just as good! Seriously, cables have no need to ever be 30 bucks for 10 feet of wire ... both products do just fine alone in a studio or when I'm jamming with my friends! This runs through pedals cleanly and into my amp. What else could I ask for? No complaints. Cheap doesn't have to mean cheap ;)
