Members J.Paul Posted January 30, 2008 Members Share Posted January 30, 2008 I've been building a new rack and pedlboard for the last month.Other than chasing some ground loops, I am ready to connect the two with a snake.Up until this point I've used a bunch of George-Ls with an extension cord and Radio Shack cable wrap for my snake (which works fine) but I'm ready to take it to the next level.I'm interested in having a snake made with a "one-plug" military pin (not sure how to get power yet). Anyone got any experience with this? How about pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jimosity Posted January 30, 2008 Members Share Posted January 30, 2008 You probably already know about this, but if not, it's at least something you should look at while considering this route. www.pedalsnake.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members es336td Posted July 23, 2008 Members Share Posted July 23, 2008 Is there any competition for the PedalSnake other than going to Whirlwind and getting an expensive custom unit? Thanx L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Spacehog26 Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 Dunno, but why would you want to? Pedalsnake is fantastic, I absolutely cannot fault mine. I just plug the 4 DIN plugs into the back of my rack, and I'm ready to rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThanxL What I was originally referring to was the type of snake you would typically see on a Bradshaw/CAE type of system. Everything is custom and it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Spacehog26 Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 My rig's at church at the moment, ready for a big service on Sunday (I'm away camping until then) but I'll try and get some pics in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at VDC multicore, but for the same price I can get a dedicated snake that will support midi and power interfaces. No tone loss either.

Members Spacehog26 Posted August 23, 2008 Members Share Posted August 23, 2008 Sorry, had these sat on my camera for a few weeks but never got round to downloading them. Here's a shot of the pedalboard: Here's a closeup of how the Pedalsnake is connected at the back of the pedalboard: And here's how I have it attaching to the back of the rack. Nothing fancy, the three flyleads (two p-lines and one g-line) are just taped to the top of my MIDI thru box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gimme411 Posted August 23, 2008 Members Share Posted August 23, 2008 +2 on the pedal snake. I found a used 24' one with 3 right angle 1/4" and 3 straight 1/4" and 1 power for $40. Bought a 1 SPOT adapter and 2 5 DC adapter's to power my GCP and my X2 wireless on the ground in front of me. I zip tied my 5-7 pin MIDI cable to it. Definitely better than the surge protector, wall wart, extension cord method. I love mine. Well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members madryan Posted August 24, 2008 Members Share Posted August 24, 2008 I've got one I could probably mod to fit your needs. I make Snakes for various applications. PM me if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Saturnine10 Posted August 25, 2008 Members Share Posted August 25, 2008 I thought about getting something like that for my setup, but i went the DIY route instead. I have a power strip on my pedal board that powers everything along with an output jack on the board. So all i have is a single extension cord and a single instrument cable running from the back of my rack to my pedal board.. Since i built the output jack dealio on my pedal board, i can use whatever length cable i want to connect my board to my rack.. Here's some pics.. You can see the power strip on the back side.. Output jack panel on pedal board (soon to be changed around) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Spacehog26 Posted August 25, 2008 Members Share Posted August 25, 2008 Yeah, that's really cool. I just couldn't be doing with pedals at odd angles, plus I would need 2 audio cables and a MIDI cable running to and from the 'board, and I don't really like the idea of 230v AC at my feet in some of the places I play (too much spilled beer!).
