Patch Cable Shootout!

[Kimmi]

BL

Bill Lawrence came out tops. Why? thin, sleek, can fit into most places, if you've seen my boards you'd know i maximise the space to the max.

yo j_m_s,

may i ask where did u get ur BL cables? i'm intending to get them to make a neat and maximise space in my board?

did u ship it in or is it available locally?

 

[j_m_s]

You'd have to ship it in.

pathein: that's actually a pretty good idea, considering the solderless jacks are extremely expensive and not very sturdy. i'm not very good with a soldering gun though, any solderless plugs to recommend?

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

solderless plug i am not too sure, but if you wanna those for soldering, can try simlim tower 3rd floor.

You can find made in china, japan kinda plug. The MIJ one are slight more expensive than the mic one, in the range of $2.50++

on patch cable, recently i have just gotten a batch of patch cable which are not widely known yet, but has some serious mojo to it. Its also solderless, much more easier to connect than georgeL. The sound? Heh, got to try to believe... if anyone is interested..

it is still not widely known yet, but the maker has some special trick in the shielding which is the key to the mojo... heres some pictures of the stripped down connection

I believe goose, widdly, edder and some bro brosss round here will know the source as well!

Tone is never this fulfilling, till these came about....

I don't understand how a cable can pick up hum?

Unshielded wires tend to act like antennas don't they? Even if they're shielded, there's some amounts of interference no?

 

[Whitestrat]

If its just one patch cable (up to 1 feet) then I might not be too concerned about the (usually minimal) tone shaping that happens.

I think it might matter if your pedals were all true bypass, no? Or am I confused again?:mrgreen:

 

[j_m_s]

Path, SPILL THE BEANS!

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

i would really love to, but the maker wanna remain kvlt and tr00 to the underground gadget movement. So i will have to follow his request of not revealing the name

Those patch cables look pretty sturdy, kind of similar to the cables used in pro-level in-ear monitors (e.g. Westone, Ultimate Ears, etc.)

I'm actually planning to recable my entire board and relocate all the pedals from my Westfield onto a PT2, will probably need 15 cables of varying lengths.

Pathein: Could you let me know once the builder is willing to start commercial sales? I'd be interested to give those cables a try.

 

[j_m_s]

haha, i respect that mate. hehe, let us know should the builder change his mind.

 

[gsonique]

Yup he forgot the covers ...maybe the "naked truth"...
Audiophile Mojo here it comes ....get your bucket ready >>>

 

[Disco Ditto]

whatever happened to rock n roll chaos and poking your amp cones to get fuzz sounds?

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

it got left behind in the 60s, the world moved on since then

 

[Disco Ditto]

good luck on your quest! nice music by the way!

 

[Ized]

hahaha. Those "patch" cables look really naked. I wouldnt feel safe gigging with them....somewhat.

 

[edder]

and again... Bill Lawrence FTW!!! in terms of solderless AND pretty fricken solid plugs.

and braided cables are the that MOJO now in the Head-Fi world. siao ahhhh.....
