Cables

Recommended Posts

As of lately I've gotten some pretty good pedals and find I need some good cables.

What do you recommend?

Someone said Fulltone, someone else Monster.

Any recommendations.

I'm running an overdrive, a fuzz box, a wah-wah, a Mini Deja-Vive 2, and soon the Maxon Analog AD 999.

I would like to use all the same cables.

Again, what's good?:^o

White coily cable from guitar to start of effects chain. Lava Cable Kit between effects.

 

I'm going off of what Gearmanndude used in his pedal board assembly video.

 

Actually, I think the cable kit is a good idea. The coily cable, not so much. I use a straight Monster cable and it works just fine for me.

George Ls are great.

 

I think monster cables are too stiff.

 

I tried some cables made by apogee once and they sounded nice and clear.

 

Now I use dimarzio for standard lenght cables and I make the ones I need that they don't make (like when I need a 17cm cable or something like that).

George L's are good quality but their cables do have a distinct reputation for increasing mids. If you are OK with that it is not an issue but if you are looking for a transparent cable you may not like them.

 

I am going by reading reviews on guitar magazines.

Any coily cable! They are always the best.... Because they're coily!

Really though, if I could I would just have all coily cables (you can get small ones for in between effects). I like how they don't get all twisted up like regular cables do. WHICH I HATE!!!!

 

 

 

Didn't SRV only use cheap radio shack cables cause he liked how they sounded?

go with the fulltone's. they're $17 a piece for either 6", 9", or 1 foot (as opposed to monster which are $25 for 9"). they sound great, i cant hear a difference between the fulltone and monster cables. they both sound really great to me, but the fulltone's are a little cheaper. trust me, they dont disappoint!! :-

Mogami cable + Neutrik jacks (1 straight/1 right angle).

Soldering iron' date='solder,you and some spare time - save a heap of bikkies.

This goes for the Neutrik jacks. I don't even remember the makers of my cables at home, but I remember a HUGE difference when I went from non-neutrik jacks to neutrik (of the same maker). Whatever you choose, I would recommend that you get somthing with Neutrik jacks. I was so amazed on the difference, that I started a thread back then on the subject.

I think that's a misconception. I like George L's because they don't lop off higher frequencies which, when compared to other cables, might seem to be an increase.

 

Love George L's.
