Unbalanced Cables: TS to TS
Connect guitars, basses, pedals, and unbalanced audio gear with TS to TS unbalanced cables, the most common cable type used for instrument signal and short audio connections. TS (Tip-Sleeve) cables carry a mono unbalanced signal and are essential for everyday setups in practice rooms, studios, pedalboards, and live performances.
This category includes 1/4” TS to TS instrument cables, guitar leads, patch cables, straight-to-straight, straight-to-angle, angle-to-angle, and different length TS cables. TS to TS cables are commonly used for:
Guitar / bass to amplifier
Guitar / bass to pedalboard
Pedal-to-pedal patching
Keyboard or synth to amp (unbalanced output models)
Line-level unbalanced connections (short distance)
TS to TS cables are widely used by guitarists, bassists, worship musicians, band performers, studios, DJs, and home users. They are ideal for unbalanced signals where cable length is short, helping reduce noise and interference.
Modern TS to TS cables feature strong shielding, durable connectors, flexible jackets, and reinforced strain relief to reduce crackle, hum, and signal loss. Higher-quality cables also reduce handling noise and provide longer lifespan—important for touring musicians and frequent use.
TS to TS unbalanced cables are commonly paired with guitars, basses, amplifiers, effects pedals, pedalboards, DI boxes (when needed), and other cable accessories, forming the foundation of instrument connectivity.
From basic instrument leads to professional pedalboard wiring, TS to TS cables deliver reliable mono signal, strong durability, and essential performance connection.
