Sommer Cable Spirit XS Highflex 0,2

Trying to squeeze more pedals together on your board? Look no further!

I hadn't heard of Sommer cables before I found them on Thomann, I originally bought a couple just to test out a cheaper cable with the flatter pan-shaped jacks, and ended up buying a whole set after my experience. I've even now ordered a full-length guitar cable because I am so impressed with the build and sound quality.

These cables really allow you to push your effects pedals closer together, they're a great space-saving tool but don't compromise on sound or build quality. The jacks themselves are very robust and you'd have to be the Hulk to be able to pull the cable from the jack. It's not really a concern as these are patch cables and very rarely are subject to such forces, but it definitely gives you peace of mind when they are made so well.

The signal quality actually improved when I plugged all my sommer cables in to my signal chain. I was using a mixture of other manufacturer's cables that I had accumulated over a few years, all of which worked fine, but never underestimate what a brand new set of well-made (with well selected parts) cables can do for your signal.

I'm very impressed with these patch cables, although my wife isn't... because now I have extra room on my pedal board for more pedals to buy. :P

I have been playing guitar for more than 20 years and I have a very good quality gear, so, any low quality piece of gear (pedals, cables, ...) would ruin my sound quality. I wanted a pedal board connection cable that does not add noise to my rig, and these cables are the answer.

There are two main features about this cable that I really like to highlight:

1) I bought 2 pieces of these cables to add 2 new pedals into my rig. I am very pleased because I noticed that after adding these pedals using this cable, the sound quality didn't change at all! There is No noise, and the tone didn't get muddy or darken, unlike other cables that I had tried. So, I am considering to change all my pedal pedal board connector cables with these nice cables.

2) The cable IS flexible (you can bend and shape it as you like), but once you shaped it will remain in that shape. For example, if you are connecting two pedals that the output of one and input of the other are both located on sides of the pedals, the cable gets the U form and REMAINS in that shape. For pedal board it is a very good feature, but if you are trying to buy it and use it all the time for different applications, I don't recommend that.

Any way, I am very pleased.
Thank you Thomman :)

I usually make my own cables from Sommer instrument cable and Squareplugs. This time, I didn't have any soldering gear with me and I was putting together a pedalboard. I came across these Spirit XS Highflex cables with Hicon connectors. Hicon is a division of Sommer and I've been really impressed with the connectors so far. Not bad at all. They have screws for quick access if anything needs to be fixed and seem to be really solid.
The only downside for me is that they're a bit wider than Squareplugs, and I couldn't fit 2 side by side in the stereo connections on my TC pedals. I used some old cables for those.
All in all, I've been impressed with these and will definitely be getting some more.
