George L or Lava?

[bhubb3rd]

I am looking to set up a pedal board, which do you like and why?

Thanks!

I'm using both at the moment, and Lava cables gets the most love.
Mostly due to the fact that they're smaller than George L's, but also because I think they're easier to assemble, once you get the technique right.

But if you're re-arranging your board on a regular basis, soldered cables are the way to go.
Solderless kits are a bit fragile - keep that in mind.

I'm not a big fan of any solderless cable/connector system. One thing I like them for is mocking up lengths for eventual replacement with soldered cables. I have a bias because I make cables, but I don't make a living (or anything close to it) from that. What I do see is players fumbling around on stage trying to find the bad connection in a pedalboard setup. EVERY time, It is George-L or some variant. I played a gig two weeks ago and the guitar player was using a George-L instrument cable, which proceeded to cut out several times during the gig. I offered him a GS-6/Neutrik cable for free... take it. Stop using that bad cable. No chance: he liked the "tone" of the George-L.



Another Audiot Bites The Dust. Don't be that guy.

I'd say that huge % of guys using solderless kits simply can't put it together properly.
