Sommer Cable Tricone MKII

I normally use Sommer "The spirit" cable to wire rack effects units, but that cable is marginally too large for use on the pancake right angle jack plugs need for a pedal tray. hence I thought I'd try the Tricone.

Really nice cable to use when building leads for installation. still a quality cable with plenty of shielding, but the smaller diameter makes a big difference on a crowded pedal tray.

Surprisingly not sonic difference between this and the more expensive sommer cable when using for shorter cable runs.

I haven't tried a direct test on longer instrument to amp type cables so can't compare in that format.

For wiring pedal boards, racks etc I'd totally recommend this cable. Very impressed.

jumped into soldering my own patch cables instead of working around specifically-sized stock ones. been a good while now (over a year). i've made quite a number of patch cables for myself and my band, as well as a couple of instrument cables, and i've yet to have any issue with any of them )that weren't caused by my shoddy amateur soldering!). initial impressions worried me a little as the cable seemed a little thin and flexible compared to, say, the fender cables i tended to use previously, but having given them a good long field test (quite rigorous, as i am perhaps less gentle with my cables than i ought to be) the build quality is solid and produce no issues sonically whatsoever. perfect buy!

Bought this particular cable from Sommer cable to make instrument cables to be used on our church stage. these cables are highly flexible and they are rugged even though they look thin. I found the cable is easy to prepare and solder.
I have replaced all our church microphone cables and patch cables with sommer cable after realising the superior quality and durably of this amazing cables.

If you need to test sommer cables you can send them a direct message and they will send you a sample of their cables collection. This way you will know exactly what to order from Thomman. With Thomman you get the best price available for sommer cables than anywhere els in europe

Just fully wired a pedalboard with it and I'm very satisfied with a results! No noticeable interferences, hums or noises - works as it should be. Soundwise it seems pretty neutral, without any dulling or additional colouring.

Good balance of flexibility, durability and coating strength alongside with a small cable diameter makes it great for using in any sort of pachcables. For a long instrument stage cable it also should work just fine, though I'd consider something a bit more thick and rigid.

Cable coating has a good heat-resistance, that makes it easier for soldering.

Overall, great value for the price. Highly recomend it!
