Storing cables

[WebJunk]

Any other suggestions to store cables?
This is to store but ready to use. So I can just grab, plug in and play. Currently I have J hook pipe hangers from Home Depot that cost less than a buck with double-stick tape to the side of the amp or a wall. I don't like screwing things in.

I have a little bag for cables I use on gigs, and I just took all my cables and put them in separate grocery store bags with the size and type written on them in Sharpie and threw them in a plastic tub. What can I say? I'm cheap and I don't like sticking things to my amps

Thanks for the replies but those are for long term storage. Not pick up & play.

Oh, well in that case I lay one on top of my office amp or on the floor near my amp. Pick it up and play.

I made a hook. It’s a Steel Punched Flat bar that I coated in duct tape and bent to the amp shape.

Your amp is on a stand. Why not just coil the cord and keep it under there?

Because it becomes tangled which then of course means no grab & play. And not all my amps are on stands. Floor space around most of my amps is not open either.

I would get some of velcro straps. This way they don't get tangled.

how do you have it mounted? I have some in my garage someplace. Thinking maybe I could bend it like you have it and slip it under the amp's handle to mount. No screws or gooey tape to damage the amps.

@WebJunk it just sits on top and it bent on the other side to counter balance.

In case it helps someone else. Based on @minddrain suggestion I used the metal from file folder hanging folders, bent to fit under & around the amp handles, then curled the front to hold the cables. Also used them for my modelers, Fractal Axe FX's where since there is no handle, I just make a right-angle bend to slip between the Axe FX & speaker below, adding a piece of double-stick tape at the end (probably not necessary) For my Fender Rumble, the metal wasn't ling enough so I added a plastic pipe hanger to the end with a single small screw. Originally was going to change to some flat stock steel I have but this has worked quite well.
