Description
This is our custom-sleeved build on Sommer SC-Spirit XS — you pick the length, the connectors, the sleeving colour, and the heat-shrink, and we solder it by hand to order. Capacitance sits at 23.2 pF/ft (76 pF/m), among the lowest of any cable we sleeve, so a long run to the amp costs you less top end than most cables of this size.
Sommer fit an 18 AWG conductor into a compact jacket, which is the part worth knowing. A heavier conductor with a low capacitance figure usually means a thick, stiff cable; this one stays reasonable in the hand and coils without a fight at the end of the night. Underneath the jacket, a tin-plated copper braid over a semi-conductive layer keeps handling noise out of the signal.
Sleeving is MDPC-X, chosen from our tweed and solid range, paired with the heat-shrink colour and print you want. Connectors are Neutrik PX series in black and gold, straight or right-angle, in any combination — and you can add a silent plug at the guitar end if you swap instruments mid-set. Every cable is soldered with lead-free, RoHS compliant silver solder and tested before it ships, and it carries our lifetime warranty.
A note on silent plugs. Neutrik has discontinued the red silent-straight plug (NP2X-AU-Silent) and replaced it with the NP2XX-Silent. All cables now ship with the newer plug. We no longer offer the silent right-angle plug — it did not meet our reliability standard.
Want the same custom sleeving over a more flexible cable? The Van Damme XKE is the softest stock we build on. Or if you would rather skip the sleeving altogether, the Sommer SC-Spirit XXL comes in its bare jacket for less.
