"Sweet Cables"

Feature:
The kit comes with the necessary tools. Besides that, they are cables!

Quality:
The only cheap thing is the little blade for cutting the cable. The connectors are sweet and the cable isn't thin like George L's.

Value:
I'm not sure how much cable the George L's set gives you, but their cable is thin and easily sliced through. I like thicker cable as it's more durable.

Desirability:
If you like your pedalboard looking all neat and professional, then these should turn you on.

Sound:
The cables are quiet, and they don't have a negative impact on your tone.

Ease of Use:
I put together my board in a few hours, measuring the distances properly. I even made all five cables without testing them as I went. Then I plugged all my effects in and they worked fine! If you have problems assembling them(like some reviewers obviously have), you're probably not following the directions. They are very clear as to what will give you problems. I'll take a point away for the cheap exacto blade holder thing. It did break, but as long as that's the cheap item I'm not complaining.

Support:
Have'nt needed them which is the best thing you can say really.

Overall:
I have had zero problems as of yet. Played quite a few gigs with these cables and they show no wear whatsoever. If you've already spent hundreds of dollars on some decent analog pedals and a nice board, I don't see why you would'nt buy these, unless some professional is wiring your board for you.

"Bad Start--Great Finish"

Feature:
The hex screw is great. I used to over-twist my screws. They weren't hard to figure out how to make cords (I used to be a tech so maybe my skills are a little bit more than a third try type). The cable was a little long and so I called Core One and asked for more connectors. They sold them to me--no problem.

Quality:
The look is great. So is the rest of the Core X2 cable line. This company also makes Bullet Cable--FYI. I use their coil cables and have even used them in the studio.

Value:
Superior. I gave an over-all 9 because I don't believe in perfect anything, but this really is the best for the money.

Desirability:
It is simple and streamline. I think that it looks high-end. Sexy--no, but the sound I make using the product is!

Sound:
The wire and connectors are superior to George L's. When they first came out, I had some dead tone and I called Core One. The customer service guy said that they had heard of a few defected connectors (first run r & d stuff) and that they would replace my connectors immediately. I was a little hesitant, but when I got the connectors in, I was seriously blown away. George L's cables are not engineered. These cables are engineered for sound. I was a hardcore George L fan. I'm sad to say it, but I have been converted to Core One.

Ease of Use:
Engineered--OFC--these are key words. The connectors by the way are solid brass--not plastic. This kit is serious.

Support:
No problem or complaints. The customer service people don't even give you the attitude like you have done something wrong and you have to prove your case. Second call I made, Ted McCann took my call. Ted is the designer and President of the company. Pretty cool.

Overall:
Lifetime Warranty. I'm not sure that I really need to seek out.

About This Product!
Description
News
The Core X2 DIY Cable Kit lets you build your own custom cables -- and do it with great components! This DIY kit delivers wide-band accurate sound using audiophile grade materials. Includes 20-foot shielded cable, 2 straight and 8 right-angle connectors, a cable cutter and a hex key for assembly.

Not all instrument cables are equal. Construction, conductors, insulators, length and hardware have an affect on signal integrity. Cables have the same impact on tone as your instrument, amp and speakers do.

These are not the usual generic cables disguised in fancy jackets or packaging, but provide a noticeable improvement in sound quality, with flat and extended frequency response. Previously, this level of performance was only available in the most expensive and exotic cables that few could justify acquiring.

This DIY Kit comes with two straight connectors to enable flexibility in your connections. With 20 feet of cable you can make a connection to a head, board or effects rig. Keeping the signal depth and range constant will improve your tone.

CoreX2 now redefines the price/performance ratios and delivers the best possible sound fidelity at real world prices. If you care about tone and sound quality, you need these cables.

Includes:
20 ft. shielded cable

2 straight, 8 angle connectors

Cable cutter

Hex key

Features:
Audio-grade 99.99% oxygen-free conductors for pristine sound

Wide 20Hz - 40kHz +/-0.34dB frequency response
