Patch Cables / Radio frequencies

[deepblue]

Im in the middle of setting up a new pedal board.

I was looking into "George L" patch cables, and the guy at the music shop

told me that they will pick up radio stations??

 

The only time I ever pick up radio stations is with my wah pedal.....but patch cables?

 

Does this make sense to you lads?

I've never really heard of certain cables picking up radio frequencies. The only time I pick them up is when I use a solid state amp. That's it. I have only heard good things about George L's

I'm guessing these are just normal copper core with a braided shield around it? Can't see why that would pick up more radio interference than any other cable. Ground the shield. It's what it is there for.

I had an iphone go through my Boogie once.

 

Just once.

 

The Mesa zero-ed in and killed the the iphone with tubular accuracy.

 

End of story.

When I use my wah pedal I can sometimes hear the radio come through.....but thats it.
