Please note: Right Angle Connectors will come with branded heat shrink...

 

Where to begin? Well nothing new here, if you know then you know. Stick to a British Facebook Page, Messaging board or Fourms and there will be plenty (usually men) ready to tell you that this is what you need.

 

Lets talk about middle men. For those of you that don't know Van Damme is a UK based business with global distribution and customers. Take a look at their website some day to see the magnitude of cables they have on offer as well as the number of places and people their product serves on a daily. From Abbey Road to Stamford Bridge, Edinburgh University to Eton College, Muse to Young Fathers, The BBC to CNN, your local rehearsal room and indeed independant studio. Van Damme is found every where and their clients list is endless! But back to middle men... 

 

Because their cable is landed here in the U.K. its not having to pass through as many hands as other cable brands you may have heard about being good for guitar. So is VD Pro Grade XKE any good for guitar? Well absolutely yes, bass, keyboard and monitors as well. Just like adding even a simple as a Boss Buffered bypass pedal into your rig. This industry standard cable runs at 90pf/M capacitence which is one of the lowest for the money out there everywhere, don't be fulled when you see this detail listed by foot. For four cable method or even just getting the best of your instruments electronics into the front of your amp. You will hear a difference... You could add a good 40m of this stuff to your setup and would be unlikely to experience any high end frequency loss at all. 

 

Van Damme Pro Grade is also extremely flexible compared to possibly all other cables out there, certainly more flexable than the 20 or so types I've had through my hands over the years.  Its also a lot lighter as well compared to others. Something you'll likely identify when first inspecting your order...

 

Specs below and please do shop around on this cable. I'm confident I'm offering a great price with components used, I know for a fact there are companies out there charging more for the same cable with inferior connectors. So please, dont shoot yourself in the foot! Buy Practical Patch and lets see if you an get a good 20-30 years or more out of your cable, they've (Van Damme) existed since 1987 so its possible!

 

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 expesive connectors of Neutriks PX range. Gold does improve conductivity however the results are possibly negligible to the human ear. What 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 cable and its wires and making any nots extremely easy to untangle
  • Branded Black Practical Patch Heat Shrink Covers Neutrik Assemblies
  • All instrument cables come with a genuine Velcro cable tie

 

Other Colour options: Van Damme have a total of ten colours to choose from. If you are desperate for yellow, orange, green or blue etc then do feel free to get in touch and I will consider ordering in for you. Just please be aware I may expect a minimum spend to do so. 

 

Other Connector Options: If you would like Right Angle to Right Angle then please get in touch as it can be done but will incure a small additional charge. I am also carring the new Neutrik Silent Jack, NPXX-SILENT. Straight orientation only. This can be added to any cable for the addition of £10.00. They aren't as cheap as they used to be sadly. You can add a silent jack to your cable by visiting the Custom section of this website or just get in touch with me and I'll instruct on how to settle.
