blackstar head question

[gerryl98]

Didn't want to join another forum to get an answer so I thought I'd ask here. I got a seven week old Blackstar ht5 r, new in box from a guy that needed something more versatile. It comes with a short cable...how can I tell if it's an instrument or speaker cable. The plugs are molded.

Can't see much point in giving you a short signal patch cable, and manufacturers give nothing away for the hell of it.
If you have concerns, buy a couple of Neutrik Jack plugs, a metre of H07 1.5mm 2-core flex and make your own speaker cable up. Personally, I wouldn't use any cables with moulded plugs, they are probably made in China by fuckwits, the joints can't be inspected, and if a cable is going to go tits up on you, it'll be around that moulded plug, I guarantee.
