I purchased three rolls of Canare Cable (GS-6). I was able to get red, blue,
and black. It is flexible and has a nice expensive feel. Audio quality is
better than anything I have used (which may not be saying much). I liked it
so much I've used it everywhere in my studio. Including patch cables. The color
coding is nice too. I originally made cables with ground not connected on one end
for my rack, and used blue. Red for patches and black for semi permanent
connections. Of course, it seems it would be nice to use color coding for
lengths; red for 1', blues 3', etc. This way when you're madly patching away
standing in a pile of cables you can look down and grab the right length.

Totally. I wonder what a fuzzed out guitar would sound like thru one of
these.
