Members jonny guitar Posted December 12, 2005 Members Posted December 12, 2005 I bought some 34 switchcraft connectors and 15' of Canare wire from LJ last week to redo my pedal board and must pass on a good experience. I bought the parts rather than premades because I wanted a bunch of weird lengths and I wasn't sure exactly what I was going to put where. Anyways, price was great, delivery into Canada was really fast, and service was awesome. I emailed LJ on Saturday about a *weird problem that I was having and he emailed my back with the solution with a 1/2 hour (on a Saturday). My pedalboard signal is really great now and there is very little difference when I TB the 17 cords and pedals. Great experience all around. *weird problem was the thin graphite cover of the inner insulated wire shorting out the wired....you need to peel back the black stuff off the clear insulation in order for the cables to work 100%. I never used Canare before so I wasn't familar with this and was really baffled as to why the cables weren't working.
Members phishmarisol Posted December 13, 2005 Members Posted December 13, 2005 I had him make me some long cables and a bunch of patches a while back...by far the best cables I've had.
Members LongJohnny Posted December 13, 2005 Members Posted December 13, 2005 Thanks guys, I hope that everything works as it should, and if you have any more problems, let me know. jonny, I finally got the LongJohnny cables and cable tester off to you today. Sorry about the wait. John

Sorry about the wait. John Long wait.....it has only been 3 days.Didn't you get my email saying that you really didn't have to do that....the problem is totally solved and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. It is totally strange but I actually like the sound of my guitar signal when it is going through the extra 12' of wires and non-buffered pedals..it has a crisper sound with no loss of highs at all.

Yep, I never would of guessed. if LJ hadn't of pointed it out to me I would of just chucked em in the closet and left them there.
Members LongJohnny Posted December 13, 2005 Members Posted December 13, 2005 I actually had someone here on the forums point it out to me, when I was starting to make the cables. That is what the forum is for, helping out. John
Members papa taco Posted December 13, 2005 Members Posted December 13, 2005 I need a cable that is exactly 13.457 inches long with a right angle at one end and straight at the other. I'm willing to pay a million for it. You up for it John Longgy?
Members LongJohnny Posted December 13, 2005 Members Posted December 13, 2005 Papa, I can do that, but I would only charge around $9, plus shipping. Sorry about that, I guess I should raise my prices, huh??? John
