Members Bricks & Bones Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 George L's are very bright. Lots of people have issues with reliability.I've used them for years and never had a problem.Lava Solderless seems to be what everyone freaks on. Much more even frequency response. The jacks have a smaller profile which is a bonus.Also they fit together more securely.I'll probably move to the Lava stuff when the funds permit. Main reason is to tame the highs in my rig and to same some space with the smaller profile jacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bricks & Bones Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 Yeah the cost to replace them all is a lot for me too.I've read and heard lots of people say how George L's appear to be brighter. It's more a function of what they let through than actually changing frequencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members arclite Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 I made the Lava switch for my patch cables a couple months ago. 8 pedals with short cable leads and no noticeable change in tone. I was always a bit skeptical about expensive cables, but these made me a believer. I was able to haggle down between MF and Music123 - 15off4u code, price matching + 10% off... blah blah. Final cost wasn't that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EL KABONG Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 I like my George L's the Highs sound great with my Fralin pickups. They are a bitch to maintain though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AnderMocs Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 I got a lava cable set in the battle of the boards. Just built them this weekend. The first one I made didn't work, then I watched the youtube video (why didn't I do that first. ), and the next 5 I made worked first time no problems. I really like them and I don't see where they would fail. Seems like a really good design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ode2no1 Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 solderless is great when youre a pedal whore and constantly either rearrange your board or add to your collection. i can make my own cables, but i've been using george l's forever now cause i like the simplicity and the ability to make a new cable in 10 seconds.

Members FlyGuy10 Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 I bought George L's, put 'em together, wired up the ol' board and have never had a problem since. I'd rather have the "high's" and be able to tame them with the tone knob then not have them at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I don't have a problem soldering. I've rewired a few guitars and have built my own amp. The Lava's are easy, low profile and I haven't experienced any noticeable tone loss. I have a pretty tight fit on my board which didn't really work when I tried to wire it with pancake plugs and Mogami cable. They are pricey and you can probably wire a board cheaper than a solderless kit without noticeable tone coloration, but I wouldn't call it a pointless novelty. They're a convenient quality product that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chrisjnyc Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 Georges L's are good... I wouldn't go out and replace them anytime soon. If you don't have any decent cables, I would go by price. Monster cables are nothing special. I use a lot of Fender cables, since they are cheap, and come with a lifetime warranty.
