Heath, Heather or indeed the Dark Knights Ledger, is a colourway created by Kerry Lambert who you may know for his Fuzz, Octave and Distortion pedals that most certainly DOOM @thezerofret.
Kerry has been using his Practical Patch cables almost every day now in a few workshops since 2020 and has been kind enough over the years to remind me just how much he loves them and that they are one of the best things he has ever bought!
Continuing on with this story, rather than trying to just sell you a cable, despite how well recieved these Heath cables were (across social media when first presented), I didn't actually end up selling many at all. In fact, I seem to remember only ever making four of them between 2020-2023! Which is highly unusual for a unique colourway which are often perceived as limited and snapped up quick!
Anyway, in the spirit of a fresh start after taking a year off, I think its time to give Heath a go again and I hope that you are as taken by it as supposidly hundreds were before. As for the name? Well hopefully once you read this you'll see it too. Heath colourway is named after its combinations resemblence not only to the plant heather but also the outfit adorned by Heath Ledger's Joker in the Dark Knight Rises...
Please note: the cable picture on building bricks has an older form of heat-shrink applied and this is not what you will receive. You will receive a Heath cable with branded heat shrink over the Neutrik Connectors.
Cable Description:
- Van Damme XKE Pro Grade Instrument Cable, Lo-cap 90pf/M and Flexible - no snake oil here, Oxygen-Free tells you that the cable has been produced with the best copper for purpose. It means that this cable finished with Neutrik Ends sealing will not suffer due to the elements, therefore, no soldered connection will sever or for want of a better term "rust away" or degrade over time
- All Black and Gold Sleeve and Tip Neutrik NP2X-B or NP2RX-B. These are the most expensive connectors of Neutriks PX range. Gold does improve conductivity however, the results are possibly negligible to the human ear. What genuine gold plating does offer is again, longevity, as moisture will not degrade the contacts
- Genuine Techflex Sleeving not just for looks but protecting your inner cables wires and making any knots or tangles extremely easy to separate
- Branded Black Practical Patch Heat Shrink Covers Neutrik Assemblies
- All instrument cables come with a genuine Velcro cable tie
Additions:
If you would like a Straight Neutrik Silent Jack please head to the custom section of the website and add one for the additional cost of £10.00 and follow instructions on how to communicate order precisely.
Neutrik Coloured Boots: Practical Patch carries all ten colour options as pictured. Your cable will come with black as standard. As some people have asked their purpose, I shall explain. Should you be ordering more than one of the same cable the boots can aid you in easily identifying which cable is which to link with your amps inputs and outputs or for example a patch bay on your pedalboard. The most common colours used for patchs bays are generally red, blue, yellow and green. So if you want to plan for the future you can at no extra charge...
