can't find cables for Line 6 g30

Sign in to disble this ad
I know that it uses standard 1/4 cables but I'm having trouble finding a cable that has one straight end and one angled and about 2 ft long on the internet and I don't really live near any music stores?I've tried sweetwater, musiciansfriend, and guitarcenter without any luck. Can someone point me in the right direction.

Why don't you just buy the plug ends and solder up a custom cable?

We'll you could always look into george l's or lava cables that are just plug and play but those are expensive. If you are handy with a soldering iron I say go for that

I dont think a 2ft ST/RT plug would be any more expensive than buying the plugs and cable yourself.

Plus, they're solderless. You can make a cable with wirecutters and a fine tip flathead screwdriver.

I know our store carries the bulk wire and plugs for the George L's...I would hope GC carried them as well.

I use Hosa, Switchcraft has been around for a while, Nuetrik seems like a standard. The most important part is do NOT buy cheap. I did the first time and the end of the plugs actually came off inside my pedal. Not fun getting it out.

Amazon.com: Dayton Audio CGQ-3R 1/4" Guitar Cable 3 ft. Right Angle: Electronics

It's amazing that no one makes a 2ft. You could get by with an 18" if you could find one. I actually use a 12" cable, which you can find. It puts the transmitter down by the guitar more than I am used to, but works fine.

i bought a 5 ft. cable from Amazon and the transmitter ends up around the middle of my back. It's perfect for me and I also use the Line 6 G30.

$6 cable...$12 shipping! It looks like a nice cable though.
