Tanglewood FX3CB Flex Ultra 3m Instrument Cable, Carbon Black Poly Braid, Straight Jack

A low key black lead that keeps your rig clean

Not every cable needs to shout. The Tanglewood FX3CB is a 3 metre instrument cable in carbon black poly braid, a tidy, no fuss choice for a rig that should simply work. Straight jacks at both ends make it a flexible lead for guitar, bass or keyboard setups.

Straight forward connections

With a straight plug on each end, you can use the FX3CB between a guitar and an amp, between pedals, or from a pedalboard to an audio interface. It is the simplest layout and the one most players keep a few spares of.

Tough, tidy braid

The poly braid jacket is light and flexible, and it stands up to abrasion. Because it resists tangling, it is easy to manage if you gig regularly or set up in a home studio. Black blends into the background, which suits a clean stage or a tidy desk.

Low noise, clear tone

Inside, the Flex Ultra design is built for a transparent signal path with low noise. Highs stay clear and lows stay full, so the lead does not get in the way of your sound.

Where it fits in your setup

The FX3CB is a good spare to keep in the gig bag, and a sensible choice if you are replacing several old leads at once. Matching black cables make a board look organised, and the braid helps stop a bundle of leads turning into a knot. It also works for bass guitar, keyboards and drum machines, since any instrument with a quarter inch output can use it. Three metres is long enough to reach the amp from the middle of a small stage.

Want some colour instead? The same lead is made in blackberry, lakeshore green, merlot and ocean blue, all at the same price. If your guitar has a side input, the angled variants cost £19.99. For a plain, good looking jack lead at £17.99, the FX3CB is the safe choice.
