Members Mikeo Posted March 13, 2010 Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 I am in the process of putting together a pedal board, it's taking more time than I thought, I would like some nicer patch cables than the molded ones I current have. Any one using George L's right angle ones or the Lava right angle one. Here's what's going on the board, incase you want to know Ernie Ball Volume PedalBoss TU-2 out the tuner out of the Ernie BallFulltone 2Barber Tone Press You guys were a big help recommending this one I did try the Keeley 2 and 4 knob units tooFulltone OCDMXR Mirco amp for some boostFulltone Supra TremMXR Carbon CopyHernida Reverb ( when they give me a call back or answers my emails)Radial Bones A/B/Y box I'm still waiting on the Supra trem, they store should have it in this week and also the Hermdia reverb. When everything is here at the house I will power it up with a Voodoo Lab power supply and then order the correct size Pedal Train board. If I can get away with the PT-2-HC I will if I need the bigger one, I will order the PT-PRO-HC. Any help on what you like or have had success with in the line of patch cords would be much appreciated. I want to have it tight and neat. Thanks in advance and I will check back later.

Members CrystalLake Posted March 13, 2010 Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 George Ls are my favorite to date. Some of the guys here (Used666 and hivedestruction) also make some killer custom patch cables for a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amarr1 Posted March 13, 2010 Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 hosas and cheap ones at guitar center haven't failed me, although I'm sure they bring unwanted noise that only toan chazurs can detect. I would like some mogamis or evidence audios w/ pancake jacks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members novascotia18 Posted March 13, 2010 Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 evidence audio monorails with pancake jacks are the best, sadly i misplaced my bag of them, must get some soon they really are the best in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members christianatl Posted March 13, 2010 Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 The 24-karat ones that are shielded with braided human hair work great for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juri Posted March 13, 2010 Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 If you plan to solder or want to order custom you can save some money getting the pancakes otherwise you want to go with the George L's, Lava cable or Planet Waves kits. I use Boss cables that came with the first pedal board I got (BCB-60). Got rid of the board but still using the cables.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jnepo1 Posted March 13, 2010 Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 I build my own cables, custom lengths to keep the board nice and neat. Using Neutrik plugs and Mogami 2319s. About 25 feet of cabling and 45 plugs for $75-$80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mikeo Posted March 13, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 The 24-karat ones that are shielded with braided human hair work great for me. Have you tried braided pubic hair for shorter runs, and have you had more sucess with blondes or brunettes? I have access to a fine blonde: My wife Seriously thanks guys, any more input would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cryptosonic Posted March 13, 2010 Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 From suggestions here [thanks guys!] I soldered my own with Lava mini cable, pancake plugs from OC speaker repair and shrink tube from Harbor Freight. 40 bucks for ten perfect length cables and a dose of self satisfaction is a super deal in my book.

Members sommy Posted March 13, 2010 Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 I use planet waves solderless. I don't like them. I'd prefer to use soldered cables with Neutrik ends, but (a) I don't know how to solder, (b) they'd end up taking up even more space on my board, and © it seems like too big an expenditure of time to switch them out. The PWs sound fine, but I've had a few cables here and there go bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members odewire Posted March 13, 2010 Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 I've only essentially got 3 pedals but I use Cleartone Cables as they are rock solid, however they will take up some pedalboard space if you need to maximise your space. http://www.award-session.com/cleartone_cables.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Reginald Posted March 13, 2010 Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 I made my own with stuff using Neutrik connectors and Canare cable. I used fullcompass.com because they beat Redco's prices. Full Compass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members damacy Posted March 13, 2010 Members Share Posted March 13, 2010 Ernie Ball Volume PedalBoss TU-2 out the tuner out of the Ernie Ball Hi, Mikeo. What's the main reason you want to get better quality cables? You might want to read this article before upgrading your cables. http://www.stinkfoot.se/andreas/diy/articles/tunout.htm TU-2 isn't true-bypass, but it's got a decent buffer.
