Pedalboards live and die by space efficiency, reliability, and noise control. The Mogami Gold SPL series was designed specifically to solve the real-world problems players face when wiring compact or complex pedalboards. The SPL-5, with a length of 5 inches, is the shortest option in the lineup and is ideal for ultra-tight pedal spacing where every fraction of an inch matters.
The SPL name stands for Super Low Profile, which refers to both the connector design and the overall cable geometry. These cables are engineered to allow pedals to sit closer together without putting stress on pedal jacks or forcing awkward cable bends. The ultra-slim, low-profile right-angle plugs take up significantly less space than traditional right-angle or pancake-style connectors, making them especially well suited for modern, densely packed pedalboards.
The Mogami Gold SPL series is available in six different inch-based lengths, including 5, 6, 10, 18, 24, and 36 inches. This range makes it easy to build a clean, intentional pedalboard layout with the correct cable length for each connection, avoiding unnecessary slack while maintaining proper routing and strain relief.
As part of the Mogami Gold family, the SPL cables are built to the same professional standards the brand is known for worldwide. They are designed for accurate signal transfer, low handling noise, and excellent shielding to reduce hum and interference in real-world pedalboard environments. The construction is robust enough for touring and frequent setup and teardown, yet flexible enough to route cleanly between tightly spaced pedals. The packaging clearly identifies the cable as a Pedal / Effects Cable, emphasizing that it is purpose-built rather than a repurposed instrument cable.
The SPL-5 in particular excels in situations where pedals are placed immediately next to each other, such as compact boutique boards, loop switchers, or high-density digital rigs. Its short length helps keep signal paths clean and organized while minimizing stress on pedal jacks, which can extend the life of both the cable and the pedals themselves.
Like all Mogami Gold cables, the SPL series is backed by a lifetime warranty, reflecting Mogami’s confidence in the long-term reliability and build quality of these cables.
In the end, the Mogami Gold SPL-5 is more than just a short patch cable. It is a precision solution for players who care about efficient pedalboard layout, dependable performance, and preserving signal integrity in tight spaces.
