Pancake patch cables

Harborne_Blue

Hi guys n gals - looking for recommendations... I have a small board, tight on space so bought some from eBay and they're terrible. Loads of hum, feedback, just dreadful.
So before I go back to the shop, what do people here use?

I use these from Amazon on my board. Not the thinnest of thin but definitely space saving and I don't find them to have any excess noise:

I am looking at designacable.com, after this thread here and loads of people saying they use them. Not the cheapest I guess but high quality from what people are saying.

At least if you ignore the BS marketing hype .

The hosa ones used to be very available and pretty cheap. I bought a load a few years back and they've lasted well. They seemed to disappear for a while, I don't know where you'd get them these days

I would be very surprised if the patch cables are the source of the feedback and hum.

I've got a TC flanger chained to an EHX B9 and it was humming like a ****. Swapped out the patch cable - no more hum...
