Excellent cables that produce excellent tone! Once you use these, you'll probably think all of your other cables are junk.
I'm using a pair of Fulltone 10' cables and 2 -8" cables for my pedals. I have recently spent many hours testing and checking everything that affects tone in my gear.
After spending over $200 on different types of cables, I find that the Fulltones are the best for me and are superior to most of the lower priced cables that people commonly use.
The difference really shows up with you are looking for improved picking attack and articulation.

Well, I don't know, plugging in a cable may be beyond some, but for most of us, you can get it pretty quick.

I use the following, teles or pauls, valvulator, fuzz factory, volume, vox wah with TB, homebrew comp, hermida zendrive, mxr phase 45, fulldrive2, visual sound h2o, sometimes a deluxe memory man, all into my boogie mark III head and openback 1x12 cab. I have used mogami cable for years, and thought nothing could beat it. I recently needed a new instrument cable, and thought I'd give Mike's version a spin. I couldn't believe that it would outdo my old faithfull, but it did. I found the fulltone to have a better midrange response, and the highs to be tamed a bit. I guess it's more of a silky thing in the top end, whereas the mogami has a bit more pronounced high end. To all those thinking cables don't effect your sound, just try plugging straight into a mildly overdriven amp with a bunch of different cables, and see how differently your tone sounds with each. I remember how I thought monster was the best out there till an engineer friend suggested mogami. I couldn't believe how bassy and screechy the monster was compared to the latter. Anyway, check out fulltone, these are some great cables, and $40 ain't bad. I've seen guys spend $400 on a cable!!
That leads me to my final point. I've tried some of the high $$ stuff as well, and, I think Scott Henderson said it best, he talked about how the pricey stuff almost made it seem like you were playing through a wireless. It takes out some of the pleasant midrange that is more friendly to the human ear. I almost felt like the tone was sterile, and didn't have charactor.
Sorry to ramble, but I just can't stress cable integrity enough, and I think it's a drastically overlooked component in any rig.

This is a cable offered by the Effects maker. As for ease of use of a cable I would think no brainer but it does not roll up in a pesky knot like so many do, big +, and the ends have a nice fat end reinforcements that look and feel nice,I dig the feel of it .

I say they nailed it ! Perfect Fulltone sound , I am pleasantly surprised .I was hoping for a good tone , and I was using the so called "best" cables , but these just nailed the sweet tone I really like . Strat into my Dr. Z is stunning , amps , guitars , can sure cost big $ , but it's these subtle differences with the most basic things can really nail it , and sometimes can make your head spin , but cable worries are over .

well I am careful with my cables I have some that are 20 years old , this seems to be very well made and I think it will last , the extra reinforcement on the ends and the contoured shape let you handle it nicely, I have always been told by "techs" biggest killer of a cable is walking all over it, and that is tough with dancing singers hopping around , but I can usually fend them off with a guitar . So far so good .

This is as good as it gets , the upper crust of guitar cables , one less thing to worry about , I was tired of fixing the ends on make your own cables and have had the"best" be pretty poor , I feel these will hold up and do their job , and there is a nice "Limited Lifetime Warranty" that as long as you don't do anything stupid to it it's covered for replacement . Though I do need to look into that singer clause ;)
