They say "You get what you pay for"..well, that doesn't hold true for Samson TourTek. As the name suggests, this is for touring musicians who are always paranoid about their gears on the move. I use a pedalboard where the real estate makes straight end cables a challenge to connect, the L shape of Samson Tourtek makes that easy. Components used are premium quality, doesn't cause unwanted signal loss or white noise whether used on amp or mixer. Very happy with the purchase.
