Whirlwind Cables WORK!


"I recently purchased a used bass amp setup and had been having trouble with it 'shorting out'. During a really intense rehearsal, my amp kept shorting out and I decided that it was the cable, the brand of which I can't remember. I reached into my gig bag and pulled out my Whirlwind, which I've had for at least 15 years, plugged it in and all my problems were solved! I bought that cable when I bought my first new guitar and both are still humming along just fine.

Tonight I'm going out to buy new cables and you'd better believe they will be Whirlwind! I will NEVER buy another brand of cable again! It's nice to know that in this throw-away society that you can count on some things to last forever. Great job!" - Stevie J.



"Whirlwind - thanks to you I haven't had to move again! Recently I relocated to Buffalo 1 block from WKBW's 50k Watt transmitter. I need RF chokes on nearly every electronic device I own. At times radio even comes through the ductwork! Without a Whirlwind cord I couldn't play guitar at home. Use anything else and I'm listening to "talk radio" through my amp. Thanks again." - jc







"This cable is from the '70s and still works! Amazing!" - Marc



"I also have some very old cables from you guys that are still working flawlessly. I appreciate the quality products you guys make and have been using them since 1977. Thanks!" - Brent W.


"I have whirlwind cables that still work from 1975!"

- Clark M., Willow Grove, PA



A cable ca. 1975 we received for warranty replacement!



There is a lot of hype and "snake-oil" flying around out there about how this cable and that cable have "the tone", pass frequencies that were previously unheard - except by bats and small dogs - maybe even block the occasional sour note! (I have a microphone that sings flat too.)

At Whirlwind, our philosophy always has been and continues to be "Build them for the PROS" - regardless of cost but at a fair price.


  • When we wanted better quality cable with low capacitance and reduced microphonics, we designed our own Accusonic®+1.

  • When standard plugs weren't up to our standards - we invented the indestructible Leader® It's so unique and revolutionary that it'spatented. (U.S. patent# 4,647,135).



  • When we received requests to build a cable with better feel - we invented the cloth covered Leader Elite .

Don't settle for inferior cables dressed in fancy packages with sky-high promises and prices to match.

When you depend on your equipment to perform because you perform, trust Whirlwind. We've been the choice of many of the biggest names in the business for over 30 years.

LEADER® ELITE CABLES



Leader Elite
The Return of the Leader Elite!
Made in Rochester NY, USA

Whirlwind was the first to introduce the "toaster cord" cloth covered instrument cable in 1990.

Now, back by popular demand - we've taken premium low capacitance guitar cable, surrounded it with heavy duty striped cloth braid (available in several colors) and capped it all off with a special gold plated Elite version of our famous Leader plug.

Leader Elite
Add our ironclad lifetime warranty and you have the finest sounding and most durable guitar cable available today!

If your music store doesn't stock it, ask for it by name - the Whirlwind Leader Elite.




Leader LEADER STANDARD SERIES
Made in Rochester NY, USA


There's not a performer out there that doesn't bend, pinch, or tangle their cable. That's why Whirlwind invented the Leader Series. Premium, rugged, and practically indestructable, the Leader plug's patented cable grip absorbs any typical straining in the field. And its flexible boot extension has virtually eliminated breakage at the cable exit. Combined with Accusonic+1cable, the Leader is the highest quality instrument cable manufactured today.

Available in 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 18, 25, 30 and 50 ft. lengths. The model number is formed by L + length. eg."L15")

Cables are also available with a right angle classic style plug on one end. Add (R) to part #. (eg. "L25R")


Accusonic+1
Whirlwind Accusonic+1 Cable
Used in our Leader, Leader Elite and Classic cords.
  • Special jacket compounds and 20 ga. finely stranded center conductor provide superior flexibility.
  • True braided shield won't open up like cheaper spiral shields
  • A noise reducing carbon extrusion provides extra shield coverage and reduces handling noise.

CLASSIC SERIES CABLES
Made in Rochester NY, USA



We build our Classic instrument cables with the same Accusonic+1 cable found in the Leader. Features our 1/4" plug with a non-phenolic insulator and extended cable clamp.

A great cord for those that prefer a more traditional look or for use in tight spaces where the Leader plug is a bit too long.

Available in 4 in. or 1, 2, 3, 6, 10, 15, 18, 25, 30, and 50 ft. lengths. In addition, cables are available with a right angle plug on one end. The model number is formed by SN + length. (eg. "SN25") Add an "R" to the number for a right angle plug at one end. (eg. "SN25R")
