About Ernie Ball Guitar Cables
Ernie Ball is famous for Slinky strings, but its instrument cables have earned a following of their own. The signature braided leads wrap a flexible, shielded core in a tightly woven outer jacket that resists tangles, kinks and stage wear, and the colour options make it easy to spot your own lead on a crowded stage.
SWAMP stocks Ernie Ball braided instrument leads in 10ft, 18ft and 25ft lengths, in colours from classic black through to neon orange, pink and yellow, with straight and angled plug options. Ernie Ball also makes braided XLR leads, which you will find with our microphone cables. Browse all guitar cables to compare brands, grab guitar patch cables for your pedalboard, or pair a new lead with a fresh set of Ernie Ball strings.
The braided outer jacket protects the cable inside from abrasion and helps it resist tangling and kinking, so it coils neatly and survives being stepped on night after night. It also slides over stage edges and pedalboards more easily than bare PVC jackets, and the colours look great under lights.
10ft suits bedroom and studio playing, 18ft is the common stage length, and 25ft gives you room to move on bigger stages. With passive pickups, very long runs can soften the top end slightly, so choose the shortest length that works. The Cable Filter on our cable pages lets you narrow the range by connector, length and cable type.
No. They are standard 1/4 inch jack instrument leads, so they work just as well for bass, keyboards and any other instrument-level source. Just keep instrument leads for instruments: connecting an amplifier to a speaker box needs a dedicated speaker cable instead.
