Sign in to disble this ad
what patch cables do you use normally?
i tried Hosa in the past but plan to go something higher end .. but since i am not so set with my board, i plan to use George L for later us ..
some has mentioned Monster's but i can't seem to find it selling anywhere online ..
what most online store has are the hosa pretty much and live wire :0
just a thought what would be a good, decent patch cables series  |

Screw Monster! Overpriced, overrated, underworking, dirtyunderwear garbage.

I buy most my cables from http://www.greatcables.us but plan to make my own for my board. |

As I look at the wiring inside my pedals, I don't see anything special, so I can't see spending a lot of money on cables to connect them. As long as they are well-built, they do not need to be anything special.

Right now I use mainly Mogami instrument cables, and George L's for patch cables...but when it's time to get some new ones, I'll probably look at Bayou...or something similar... |

His work is impecible, nicest cables I've seen. He makes nearly everything you need and to custom order (cable type, length, connector brand etc etc). Nothing better than that. Also his customer service is spot on, he usually replies to any e-mail inquiry within a day.

I have never ever heard of a studio at any level of professionalism bothering to invest in the uber-high-end cable like Evidence. The only people I know of buying them are audiophiles in hobbyist applications. |
