Solid Cables!

designed from the ground up to be the toughest, best sounding cable ever.

About Me

READ THIS PLEASE!:
The power of connecting with people in an authentic way (no, not in that cheesy, half-assed, internet “friends” way) falls apart at the point where its resource consumption curtails your ability to keep making new stuff. It’s a twisted paradox, for sure. But, in essence, it’d be a little like the Beatles skipping the writing and recording of Rubber Soul in order to catch up on 1964’s fan mail.

Solid Cables were designed from the ground up to be the best sounding, toughest cable in the world. Our new dynamic arc ultra cable was made for the serious musician with a critical ear. Just holding this cable in your hands lets you know this is a serious cable.
we are a small shop of artisans who build each and every cable by hand. these are not mass market cables, and we will never make these cables by the millions like most other guys. they simply cannot be mass manufactured. they are made right here in the USA in fantastic pasadena, california.
we believe our quality stands on its own against any and all other cables out there, regardless of price or components.
The Dynamic Arc Ultra instrument cable is a massive breakthrough in high clarity, high definition. it allows your guitar and amp to actually show all of its musical character that you paid for. speed, articulation, TONE, and crunch are all revealed in huge amounts with this cable. Chords ring out with great musicality and accuracy, clean leads and single notes chime out, while extreme distortion achieves unheard of clarity that typical (and even "high end") cables would smear and muddy. How important are your cables? how about 100% of your signal getting adversely affected by poor cable and poor connector contact! what about the contact between the cable end and your input jacks?

Mini F.A.Q.

Q: do they really make a difference?
A: YES! as much or more than changing our your guitar pickups for better ones!
Q: how long are they guaranteed for? A: LIFETIME
Q: man, how can you spend more than $15 on a cable? XYZ cables are only $blah and they have a lifetime warranty, too.
A: how many times have you replaced that cable coz it BROKE? whats your time and gas money worth? that adds to the cost of your 'cheap' cable, too. and what happens if you miss a gig or session because of your cable?
Q: whats the best way to check these cables out?
A: with your own gear. you hear the difference immediately. please play good gear. invest in yourself!
Q: Do you Endorse Artists?
A: Yes! we now have a full time Artist Relations company helping us out.
