Tanglewood FX6MA Flex Ultra 6m Guitar Cable, Merlot Red, Angled Jack

Merlot red, 6 metres, built for a bigger rig

Red cables are rare, and the Tanglewood FX6MA makes a good case for one. It is a 6 metre guitar cable in a warm Merlot poly braid with an angled plug on one end and a straight plug on the other. It is for players who want extra length and a bit of colour.

Reach and freedom

Six metres is plenty for large stages, studio floors and rehearsal rooms. You can stand well back from the amp or work a long pedal chain without pulling the cable tight. Longer runs can pick up noise in cheaper leads, so the low-noise build of the Flex Ultra series is a useful point here.

Ergonomic angled end

Fit the angled plug to a guitar with a side-mounted or recessed input and the cable drops away cleanly. It helps cut the stress on both the plug and the socket during long sessions. The straight end is ready for your amp or interface.

Braid

The poly braid is flexible and light, and it guards against rubbing and knots. Merlot is easy to see on the floor, so it is less likely to be tripped over or left behind at the end of the night.

Specification

• Material: poly braid
• Length: 6 metres
• Connection: straight / angled
• Colour: Merlot

On stage and in the studio

The extra length is handy for tracking in a larger room, where you may want to sit away from the amp to get the sound you want. On stage it lets you take a few steps without the plug pulling at the guitar. The colour also makes it easy to tell apart from other leads on a crowded floor.

If three metres will do, the FX3MA offers the same colour and angled design for less money. Want the red without the angle? Look at the FX3M in the same series. This longer one is for gigging players and home recorders who need to move.
