Sign in to disble this ad
I recently bought a Line 6 X2 XDS-95 wireless instrument system (excellent, BTW), and it comes with the straight 1/4" plug. Today I've been looking all over the place trying to find a cable with a 1/4" angled plug. I know I've seen them somewhere but I can't remember where! Can anybody tell me who sells them?

I wouldn't use an adapter - what I have done is change the 1/4" straight plug to a 1/4" RA plug... Switchcraft and G&H both make top quality connectors that don't cost that much...

I then bought the upgraded cord from Line 6; a bit pricey yes, but it's excellent quality construction and it's available with the angled 1/4 plug you like. I an very happy I upgraded it and though I'm probably deluding myself, I also think the sound is cleaner with the upgraded cord. http://line6.com/xds95/accessories.html

In which case I'd tend to try and solder one myself. However, I guess finding a mini jack connector that fits neatly onto a thicker cable might be an issue. |

They are exp. cables but owrth everypenny. i had a custom cable for my X2 made in red, color of my bass. Great cable. I moved onto a G30 and plan on getting a new cable soon from them in red with angled 1/4 on each side.
