D'AddarioClassic Series 1/4" Patch Cable 1 ft.
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A one-foot 1/4-inch patch cable for linking pedals side by side on a board. One cable, so plan how many you need.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Connecting neighboring pedals on a compact pedalboard
- Replacing a noisy or intermittent patch cable in an existing chain
- Tidying a board where longer cables loop and tangle
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Running guitar to amp or pedal to amp at any real distance
- Boards with wide gaps between pedals or offset jack positions
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
1/4-inch connectors
The standard guitar and pedal jack size. Works with pedal ins and outs, not XLR or mini-jack gear.
Detail 03
Unbalanced
Normal for instrument signal. Keep runs short, which a one-foot cable already does, to avoid picking up noise.
Detail 04
Straight plugs
Plugs extend out from the jack, so pedals need more room between them than with right-angle ends.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Sold as one cable. A five-pedal chain needs four of them
- 02Straight plugs eat board space. Right-angle ends pack tighter
- 03Check your pedals' jacks are on the sides, not the top, for this length to reach
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many do I need for my pedalboard?
One fewer than your pedal count. Four pedals in a row need three patch cables, plus separate longer cables to the guitar and amp.
02Can I use this from my guitar to a pedal?
Only if the pedal is right at your feet and you never move. One foot is far too short for normal playing.
03Will one foot reach between my pedals?
It reaches between pedals sitting shoulder to shoulder. If you have space or a power supply between them, you need a longer cable.
04Does cable length affect my tone?
Short unbalanced cables like this add very little capacitance, so treble loss is minimal. Total chain length matters more than any one patch cable.
