​Braided Patch Cables
​When you don’t know what to give, go with socks – everyone wears socks and since they need to be changed often (or they get lost one by one after every wash) then a spare pair is always welcomed. But if you don't want to give socks, the second best option in the modular world is patch cables. Erica Synths patch cable come in different sizes and colors, and you can never have enough patch cables! ​ High quality and soft to the touch. More here.
