Best pedalboard upgrade ever!
I'm using a Pedaltrain Metro 16 pedalboard, so space is limited (by choice – I like keeping things a bit minimal). At first, I was using Sommer Cable Spirit XS cables (also very high quality), but found it a challenge to fit all pedals I wanted on my board.
I first heard about the Evidence Audio SIS system on That Pedal Show. I decided to make the investment so I could clean up my pedal board and perhaps fit one extra pedal. I regret not buying into this system from the very start. The angled SIS plugs are much more compact than the Hicon plugs on the Spirit XS, allowing pedals to be placed much closer to each other. As a result, I'm able to fit seven pedals on my Metro 16 (with room for one more - yay!). For a photo of my upgraded board, visit: yfoto [dot] nl [slash] sis
The sound quality of the SIS cables is excellent. I could swear I hear a bit more high end than with the Spirit XS cables, but given I paid about double the price to connect my seven pedals, it could just be a psychological thing. ;-)
Fitting the SIS jacks onto the cable took me a bit of practice at first, but after the first one, the others were easy.
If you just have two or three loose pedals on the floor, this will be overkill. For everyone else, this is the best choice of patch cable for your pedalboard, period.

Exceptional patch cables
Evidence Audio Solderless patch cables truly are a thing of beauty. Having spent hours previously soldering my own high quality cables, I was skeptical about the reliability and sound quality of these. I have been blown away in every sense by Evidence Audio.
The easy of putting one of things together is amazing. Such a simple method that can't go wrong. The connection is as solid as my soldered cables and half the cable thickness so my board is much neater and organised. Once you make a solid connection you just plug and play. I have swapped pedals around for over 2 years now and still am yet to have one fail.
The sound quality is incredible and given the price for each cable they are worth every single penny. I use the SIS in conjunction with The Forte and Siren II and my tone is crystal clear. I would highly recommend you trying these out as they are unbeatable on build quality and tone - I have tried numerous cables before settling with these.
The ability to chose your own cable length and shape the cable to your own preference is great. I have some cables less than 2cm and other much bigger. I have been able to have the cable run in any direction without it snagging or being twisted - an issue I had with soldered cables. Once again, a great service from Thomann at a very reasonable price. I'm so pleased they supply us here in the UK.

THE BEST
These cables have been on my pedalboard for 5 years and have been in multiple weather conditions without ever missing a beat. When I changed to Evidence Audio, my tone was 'evidently' clearer and signal was stronger.
Pros.
Better signal.
Cut to size for a quieter signal and cleaner look.
Cons.
Not super simple to assemble at first.
A bit pricey.
In conclusion, these are the best quality patch cables I ever hed and will not risk using any other brand on my working pedalboard.
Tried and tested :)

Evidence all the way .
I was very impressed . I even replaced my guitar to board cable and my board to amp cable with evidence audio . ( Lyric to the amp , Melody from guitar ) Not one frequency catches your ear as out of place and all the high end is very sweet . Its not possible to go back to other cables :-) Maybe Mogami is still comparable for crunchy tones but you still will find a more brittle top end on that cable compared to an evidence
Have used for 6 months now , no more board issues and cable worries "

Worth Every Penny!
For years I have been making my own cables, and since buying a couple of these kits I haven't looked back!
I have a pedalboard with 10 pedals, and an ABY splitter out to my Vox amp, which I use at home and in the studio, so needed a couple of these kits to get everything done. There is plenty of cable (still have a load spare), enough to place your pedals where they are easiest to reach and then use your preferred signal chain. For instance, I use my wah on the far left, but have it second in the chain..
They are so simple to put together, and the quality is excellent. The sound quality is also excellent and a marked improvement on my old cables (neutrik jacks, and high grade Van Damme cable). The highs are preserved much better despite not using a pedal with a buffer in (Klon) until halfway through the chain. After deciding that I wanted to preserve the original signal from the pickups rather than using standalone buffers I am very glad I settled on these instead. Worth every penny.

Sensational Product
Absolutely delighted with this kit. I use it with my Boss ES-8 switching system which is notorious for which cables do and don't fit it, and these fit perfectly. I'd recommend them to anyone. The sound is amazing.
When making the cables, removing the purple sleeve, and black shielding are incredibly easy, but trying to remove the white insulation is horrible. Many times when trying to strip the insulation, the copper core came with it which was awful for perfectly measured custom length cables.
The airtight seal from cable to jack is incredibly strong, I believe Evidence Audio hung a bike from some of them to prove the strength.
These cables are used by David Gilmour and Noel Gallagher. Musically that means nothing, but when you have guys who could afford any musical equipment in the world using something, you know it's a good product.
The sound clarity is fantastic. I would not hesitate to buy more of these kits, and will be recommending them to everyone.

Perfect Cabel Set
It is a perfect Cable set i ever used with my pedals.
Very convenient to use. A thin cable and a small patch make it convenient to position the pedals on the pedal board. The sound quality is very good.

Routing the easy and best way
Having tried many "Meters" of patch cable , has been a consuming "work"
When i found this solution, i finally came trought on top of my main problems :
Time spent to rout the right way all my cable without creating ground loops
And mantain the patch cables tight without compromising sound quality
10 solderless jack and few meters of shielded cable is really the right and easiest way to make a lot of patch cables,
The cable is shielded and is made of hard wire , so it will mantain the position of the cable and pedals
Building is soooo easy, it takes 2 minutes , not 5 or 10 minutes, just 2......it's priceless, the time to drink an Espresso and there i've build a fully functionally and sound wise cable
Yes , the sound is pristine a like other non solderless cables
And for my needs i've only used a small lenght cable from the quantity provided in the package , and if i need to change the position of some pedals in my rig , i can do it without buying another pack
For me its a must, even before buying some pedals, i buy this....
See you on the stage friends.....

Great cable for that "perfect fit"
This cable is great for that "perfect fit" - bends where you want it to bend, stays where you want it to stay. And the SIS construction means no issues with connections between the cable and the ends.
Yes, it's a bit pricey. But not when you consider the fact that it can be reused when you redo your pedalboard (and you know you will!).
Do it once. Do it right. Redo it without the hassle of soldering irons, cables that don't fit, or buying new cables.
