Heath, Heather or indeed the Dark Knights Ledger, is a colourway created by Kerry Lambert who you may know for his Fuzz, Octave and Distortion pedals that most certainly DOOM @thezerofret.
Kerry has been using his Practical Patch cables almost every day now in a few workshops since 2020 and has been kind enough over the years to remind me just how much he loves them and that they are one of the best things he ever bought!
Continuing on with this story, rather than trying to just sell you a cable, despite how well recieved these Heath cables were (across social media when first presented), I didn't actually end up selling many at all. In fact, I seem to remember only ever making four of them! Which is highly unusual for a Practical Patch colourway which are often perceived as limited!
Anyway, in the spirit of a fresh start after taking a year off, I think its time to give Heath a go again and I hope that you are as taken by it as supposidly hundreds were before, even if they didn't put their money were their finger was liking!
Please note: the cable picture on building bricks has an older form of heat-shrink applied and this is not what you will receive. You will receive a Heath cable with branded heat shrink over the Neutrik Connectors.
Cable Description:
- Van Damme XKE Pro Grade Instrument Cable, Lo-cap 90pf/M and Flexible - no snake oil here, Oxygen-Free tells you that the cable has been produced with the best copper for purpose. It means that this cable finished with Neutrik Ends sealing will not suffer due to the elements, therefore, no soldered connection will sever or for want of a better term "rust away" or degrade over time
- All Black and Gold Sleeve and Tip Neutrik NP2X-B or NP2RX-B. These are the most expensive connectors of Neutriks PX range. Gold does improve conductivity however, the results are possibly negligible to the human ear. What genuine gold plating does offer is again, longevity, as moisture will not degrade the contacts
- Genuine Techflex Sleeving not just for looks but protecting your inner cables wires and making any knots or tangles extremely easy to separate
- Branded Black Practical Patch Heat Shrink Covers Neutrik Assemblies
- All instrument cables come with a genuine Velcro cable tie
