Boss BIC-5

Having purchased the longer version, the BIC-10, when the need arose for a slightly shorter cable, this was an obvious choice. It is quite expensive for what I assume to be a private-label cable, that is true, and one might even argue — and rightly so, perhaps — that it is somewhat irrational to buy an instrument cable whose capacitance is undisclosed, but the braided fabric appears to be high quality, and so are the plugs, and also, these cables do come with a warranty (and for life no less!), guaranteed by Boss, a trusted historic brand, so I consider them a safe investment. Of course, only time will tell how well they hold up.
