Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A short unbalanced 1/4 inch patch cable, 3 feet. For linking pedals, rack gear, or anything sitting within arm's reach on a board or desk.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Connecting two pedals spaced apart on a pedalboard
  • Short hops between rack units or desktop gear
  • Keeping a tidy run where a full instrument cable is overkill

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Playing standing up — 3 feet won't reach from amp to player
  • Long runs where unbalanced cable picks up hum
  • Balanced TRS connections between mixers and interfaces

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 01

TS connectors

Two conductors, tip and sleeve. This is the standard instrument and pedal connection, not a balanced or stereo one.

Detail 02

Unbalanced

No noise rejection built into the wiring, so keep the run short and away from power supplies.

Detail 03

3-foot length

Sized for gear sitting side by side. Long enough to loop slack, short enough to stay out of the way.

Detail 04

Straight 1/4 inch plugs

Stick straight out of the jack, so they need clearance behind pedals placed tight against each other.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Straight plugs, not right-angle — measure spacing on a crowded pedalboard
  2. 02Sold as one cable; a full board needs several
  3. 03Too short to reach from an instrument to an amp

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this work as a patch cable between guitar pedals?

Yes. Unbalanced 1/4 inch TS is the standard pedal connection, and 3 feet covers most spacing on a board.

02Can I use it as a guitar cable?

Only if you're sitting right next to the amp. Three feet gives you no room to move.

03Is this balanced?

No. It's unbalanced TS. For a balanced connection you need a TRS cable and gear with balanced jacks.

04Does the direction matter?

No. Both ends are the same 1/4 inch TS plug, so it connects either way.
