Members BIGD Posted January 25, 2007 Members Share Posted January 25, 2007 ...how the hell do you manage to get all these wires plugged in??? Each pedal has 2 jacks and a power source....I've found the only way I can get everything plugged in without breaking things is using cheap wires without metal jacks. What a pain in the neck.

Members BIGD Posted January 25, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 25, 2007 ..what? Very helpful, Einstein. I guess I'm going to have to spend EVEN MORE money and get one of those pedaltrain things where you can run the wires underneath. The jacks on these looper things are very close to each other.

Members fearofnightmare Posted January 25, 2007 Members Share Posted January 25, 2007 so....what's the problem? get a bigger board? space your pedals out more? get a pedal train? buy a pony? angle the cable ends up? get straight-ended cables?

Yeah, "spend more, buy more". I knew that I'd have to buy a bunch of new cables for the looper, now I need to buy a whole new board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TweedBassman Posted January 25, 2007 Members Share Posted January 25, 2007 ..what? 2nd'd. you mean, how do you squeeze all the cables on a board? usually guys use right-angle custom size cables. it works well when you get your mind wrapped around the proper order for routing and such.

Members FLYING V 83 Posted January 25, 2007 Members Share Posted January 25, 2007 George L cables are what you need.Straights going into the Looopers and right angles going into the pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NITEFLY182 Posted January 25, 2007 Members Share Posted January 25, 2007 So you just wanted us to tell you what you already know so you could bitch about it. Having a lot of gear is expensive and buying more gear to make the gear you have easy to use, you guessed it, takes time and money to facilitate.

Members EL KABONG Posted January 25, 2007 Members Share Posted January 25, 2007 george L's cable and connectors i probably spent 300 on my cables i dont like to run my loooper or lots of pedals anymore though it kills the tone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual signal path ends up containing much more cable once you put effects into the path and you basically double the number of junctions (jacks) which each have a bit of extra capacitance. The end result with a number of pedals on can be a signal with more loss if you dont buffer the whole mess correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oy Vie. so is it better to just use a micro-amp at the end of the chain and screw the looper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
