Harley Benton GC 3 PP

Truth be told, I did not expect much at such a relatively low price, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good the quality was! The cable itself is thick and firm (yet easy to coil) and has a pleasantly smooth surface. The plugs are Amphenol, which, from what I understand, is a respectable brand. The housings of the plugs have a somewhat pearlescent finish that looks really classy (not cheap at all!). The capacitance characteristic is, unfortunately, not disclosed in the item's description, but I failed to notice any significant attenuation of high frequencies when compared to my other, much more expensive cables, so it should not be too high.

I needed a lead for home practice that wasn't so long that it would take me ages to wind it up at the end of a session. This fits the bill perfectly.

I've never bought a Harley Benton lead before, but this was so cheap, I thought I'd give it a go. I'm glad I did. It's well made - the jacks are solid and secure and I've noticed no difference in sound between this and my more "boutique" leads - at least through my practice amp, anyway! Nice and flexible - some leads are really stiff, but this folds easily.

Would I rely on this as the only lead I'd gig with? Probably not. Would I use it around the house, at rehearsals or as a spare? Yes indeed.
