  • Product typeComponent Cables
  • Unique nylon braid adds flexibility and protects against abrasion, chemicals and UV
  • Carbon PE layer eliminates microphonic noise from cable movement during play

What this cable is and who it serves

The PURPLE HAZE Designer Series cable connects electric guitars and other 1/4-inch instruments to amplifiers or pedalboards using straight plugs at both ends. It is built for players who want a durable, low-noise link with a distinctive purple nylon braid that resists abrasion, chemicals and UV exposure.

How it fits into a rig

The 24 AWG oxygen-free copper conductor and polyethylene dielectric sit under a carbon-loaded PE layer that suppresses handling noise, while a spiral shield adds further interference rejection. The heavy-duty all-metal connectors with matte nickel plating lock securely into standard jacks, and the flexible PVC jacket coils easily for quick stage changes.

Capacity and headroom

The construction handles the high-impedance signal path of passive pickups without adding microphonic artifacts when the cable moves. It covers typical stage and studio runs where a straight-to-straight layout is preferred, but it does not serve setups that require right-angle plugs, balanced XLR connections or multi-channel snakes.

Questions about this item

Does the 24 AWG OFC conductor and carbon PE layer stop handling noise when I move around on stage?

The carbon PE layer is designed to eliminate microphonics, the noise caused by tapping or moving the cable in a high-impedance guitar circuit.

Will the nylon braid and PVC jacket stay flexible and quiet after hours of rehearsals?

The nylon braid improves flexibility for easy coiling, while the PVC jacket resists abrasion and sharp edges for long-term durability.

My amp and guitar both have standard 1/4 inch jacks — is that all I need to use this cable?

Yes, the straight 1/4 inch connectors on each end plug directly into standard instrument and amplifier jacks.
