Members SUPER VELCROBOY Posted December 9, 2007 Members Share Posted December 9, 2007 it's user error usually.Push the wire in straight, then pull it out. Take a look a the needle hole and make sure it's centered. Stauck it back in and tighten (not too tight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pbone Posted December 9, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 9, 2007 Yeah I got one to work, but I don't know how. I'm sure they work but they are a bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SUPER VELCROBOY Posted December 9, 2007 Members Share Posted December 9, 2007 you need to check them. Stick one jack into the amp's input. Then touch the end of the other jack. If it makes a big buzz, then it's working. If not, take it apart and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IN the end when you're live, you don't have time to sit down with clippers and test and retest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have the best solderless plug or whatever... but if it fails, you're f*cked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Surrealistic Brillo Posted December 9, 2007 Members Share Posted December 9, 2007 GRRRR they don't even work. This sucks. I'm using right angle plugs. Help me! Cut them as strait as possible with a pair of really sharp clippers and then use a pair of needle nose pliers to GENTLY reshape the clipped end into a relatively even circle. Firmly stick them in the hole and fasten them down.The right angled one's are pretty easy, but the straight pin can be tough...too many turns and you break the ground...not enough and you don't pierce the insulation.I ended up just soldering my George L cable with Switchcraft ends and I've had really great results with them (after a couple of years of steady touring the solderless end pins started coming loose from the road vibration).Keep at it...you'll get the hang of it.

Members placebo62 Posted December 9, 2007 Members Share Posted December 9, 2007 as nice as they sound, I've never had more troubles than with George Ls. I switched to Lava cables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
