Are patch cables the same as instrument cables?

The cable that connects a guitar to the first pedal on a pedalboard is usually referred to as a guitar cable or lead, and the same goes for the cable from the pedalboard to the amp. The cables inbetween pedals however are usually referred to as guitar pedal patch cables or simply guitar patch cables.

Do patch cables matter?

As long as the cables are constructed well, patch cables aren't going to really affect your tone that much unless you are using tons and tons of them. It's the longer cables and crappy pedals that really suck tone.
