EBS flat patch cables are so good.

I don't know why there is more stores carrying them.

Right now only 2~3 web stores are carrying them and even then they go out of stock so quick.

Why is there not enough distributor for such an amazing product?

I got the same cable style from reverb by the brand Monoprice. I think Hosa also makes patch cables with the flat input type.

But maybe you're referring to in store purchase.

The EBS are nothing like Hosa or Monoprice. These are literally flat and much smaller.

Yeah, I just discovered them myself. They are awesome. I know that bassstringsonline.com carries them, in fact, I happen to know he got a shipment on Tuesday cause that is when my order shipped (and arrived today!)

I am not sure what the gold-tone "premium" version is in the pic above. Mine are regular color tips and the cable says "EBS Professional". And they are good enough for me.

These are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than the "flat" patch cables from Hosa/Monoprice/Mogami/etc. I have many many of those, and I am ready to toss them. These EBS cables are pliable, the heads are truly flat, and they just ooze quality. Only time will tell if they hold up, but my initial impression is so good, I am planning to replace every cable on my pedalboards with them. I have a bunch of 18cm and now some 58cm. A few more 18s and a couple 28s and I will be done.

FYSA, there is another company, Rockboard, making an extremely similar flat patch cable, but I can't find them here in the states (EytschiPi42 reviewed them recently on YT, you can see them for sale at thomann). I like the head style on the EBS cables better, but they both appear very similar.

Ive tried Hosa flat heads and while they are similarly flat(EBS cables are even thiner), they are too wide and sometimes makes it harder or even impossible to put jacks that are closely put. Especially on my Boss LS-2, the inputs and outpus for each loop are so close to each other, Hosa flats simply do not work, but EBS cables works absolutely perfect for this matter.

Hmm, I think I resemble that remark...

Still haven't got this board all figured out yet. And the cables don't magically make the ports line up any better, but boy do they make a better job of it than any other cable I've seen!

And yeah, the other ones are "flat" but way too wide--they don't work in sooooo many circumstances--and when you add in that they're just clamped onto that inflexible cable. I hate 'em more with each passing moment!!!

I just installed a number of them on my board yesterday, replaced the live wire ones that were there. They sound great, clean things up, I will absolutely be ordering more very soon.
