patch lead rec's?

Post by Kris »

yo,all my current leads are a wierd mix of good to nasty with wierd jacks that just dont sit well side to side.Looking at replacing them with a set with reasonable length and reasonable price. Whats erryone else using? been down the solderless/ cable +jack route before and they all failed at some point-i think they are designed to stay put and not have an angry metal gorilla constantly reshuffling them!
Board is not huge (5 pedals..for now:)) but dont want to spend 30 bucks a cable!

I use EWI patch cables. $13 each but iv never had one fail on me, and im constantly plugging in and out between my 15 odd pedals on my board. Atleast a year of use and no failures.

I bought some Joyo 150mm long, had them about a year with no problems.
Very reasonable in price but I can't remember now what I paid.
They're always on TM.

I like the DiMarzio patch cables. The jack isn't any bigger than it absolutely needs to be so they're handy when space is tight at the back of the amp. My old, 90 degree patch cables are too bulky to use on the send and return of the Two Rock.

Well, I'm now the proud owner of three pedals! I'd better start giving this stuff some more serious thought.

I use 3" nails and heat shrink. Bend the nails to suit before you insulate for best result.

The Dude is the single best overdrive / distortion / clean-boost pedal I've ever heard. Balancing the Ratio and Deep controls gives a massive spread of 'amps' (for want of a better way of explaining it).
