Tanglewood FX6WB Flex 6 Metre Braided Jack Lead, Straight Jacks, Black & White

Six metres of black and white braid, straight at both ends

The Tanglewood FX6WB is a braided jack lead in black and white, 6 metres long, with a straight jack on each end. It is the long-distance option for players who want the standard plug shape and a cable with a bit of visual character.

Why 6 metres

Extra length helps when your amp is far from where you stand. That might be a big stage, a large rehearsal room or a studio with a long path between your pedalboard and the amp. You can move around freely and the cable does not have to be pulled tight.

For bedroom practice 6 metres is usually more than you need, so think about where you will really use it before you choose.

Braided black and white

The woven jacket in black and white gives the lead a clear pattern. It is easy to see on the floor, which helps you avoid stepping on it, and it looks smart on a tidy pedalboard. It is part of the Tanglewood Flex cables series.

A longer cable also suits players who use several pedals, because it leaves you free to place the board where it is easiest to reach. Plan your route so the lead does not cross walkways, and coil it loosely after the gig to keep the braid in good shape.

Straight jacks both ends

With a straight plug at each end, you can fit it either way round. That makes it simple to set up and simple to swap into a different rig.

• Material: braided cable

If your guitar has a side socket, the FX6BBA offers the same length with an angled plug in black and blue. For a lower price at 3 metres in the same black and white braid, the FX3WB is a good match. The FX6WB is for players who want length and a straight plug at both ends.
