I got 20 plugs from Amazon for $20. Then I just used an extra cable I had laying around. Custom length patch cables for a little more than an hour's work and $20.

u/beachbuminthesun · 4 pointsr/guitarpedals

Essentially, yes - they're probably too cheap.

If you want good cables, you've got to pay up.

Best Solderless:

Or learn how to solder.

Buy this best soldering iron: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ANZRT4M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_oS34ybN5TT4V3

With this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003UIC78W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dT34yb2BTQYXY

And this: http://www.redco.com/Mogami-W2319.html

Money well spent. Patch cables will cost you about $4-$5 to make and make excellent Christmas presents for friends and family.

I got the mogami and gepco recommended in the post. I've since used up all the gepco and went to reorder and they no longer seem to carry it at Redco. I've since ordered the Canare for my longer runs: http://www.redco.com/Canare-GS-6.html

I still plan to use this Mogami for my patch cables: http://www.redco.com/Mogami-W2319.html as it has worked well. Someone recommended these pancake plugs to me in thread on the pedals reddit.

I have them ordered and on the way.

Made them myself! Bought a pack of these back when the exchange rate was closer to par and ripped apart an old 20ft guitar cable. Made a couple 6", lots of 8", some 10" and 12". The grey one in between the kingslayer and the ls2 is actually a Boss brand cable that I have no idea where it came from.

Good plugs! I've gotten cheaper ones and these are much better quality.

u/Holy_City · 2 pointsr/guitarpedals

100' instrument cable

20 pack low profile 1/4" plugs.

"High quality" bulk cable doesn't become important until you're running long distances (usually > 25'). At that point, unbalanced instrument connections are unreliable anyway. If you have a monster of a board that has more than 25' of cabling, you should have a buffer somewhere in there anyway.

u/stradivari310 · 2 pointsr/guitarpedals

No problem. That heat shrink tubing idea is actually great!

If it helps, I used to rock a fully-loaded PT-pro at one point and I was able to fit a power strip along the back rail. Just make sure the sockets are oriented the right way (for me it was horizontally) and you should actually have a decent amount of space. My setup wasn't super clean, but it held together well enough until I upgraded to a Pedal Power 4x4. Of course, then I got sick of tap dancing while playing and singing so I downsized to a PT-2.

Anyway, I should also mention that if you end up making more cables, I love pancake jacks like these for saving space: http://www.amazon.com/GLS-Audio-Profile-Pancake-Speaker/dp/B003UIC78W

Good luck!

u/RocketSurgeonDoc · 1 pointr/guitarpedals

I ordered these off amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UIC78W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and bought 25ft of the nicer (of the two they offer - one is .30 per ft and the other is nearly 1.00 I think per ft) instrument cable from Guitar Center and soldered my own. Soldering is a pain, but once you get into the swing it goes pretty fast. Also make sure you have the right soldering gear for the job and you should get nice solid connections. I have very little soldering experience and I found it pretty easy and kind of fun - fired up some Clapton, popped a few beers - very enjoyable, everything worked the first time I hooked it all up.

20 PACK FOR $30. GLS AUDIO, ITS GOOD SHIT

u/niandra3 · 1 pointr/guitarpedals

Switchcraft 228 are expensive but are generally worth it if you want the best. Though I use the cheaper GLS ones and don't really have an issue soldering. With the right plugs, you shouldn't need special solder (beyond your normal rosin core).

u/ForeverAvailable · 1 pointr/AskElectronics

I think since I'm especially looking to make patch cables for my pedal board, a few of these guys would be extremely nice since they're so low profile, and with mounting them to my pedal board I may not need to worry so much about destroying them. But thanks for the advice! I'll keep that in mind for cables with larger responsibility attached to them.

u/chipchirpington · 1 pointr/guitarpedals

I always use the GLS pancake connectors. They haven't failed me yet (made over 40 patch cables with them) and are fairly priced. I did strip one of the little screws holes once but that could have been my fault.

On a side note, I could never understand anything but the aesthetic side of the solderless kits. They're so much money for little.

George L's are fine, I guess. If you can solder I'd suggest making cables yourself (with these plugs for example), it's way cheaper.
