What cables do you use?
« on: May 16, 2006, 03:11:07 AM »
After all the discussion that went on regarding the best cable money could buy, what are you all using?

I'll start. I have Planet Waves between my PRS Soapbar/Ibanez Artstar and the pedal board. George L's on my pedal board and between the board and my Fender Twin. I find having George L's all the way through is too bright for me so I use the Planet Waves to sort of "warm" it up a bit.

So let's hear what everyone else uses.

Klotz La Grange, Neutrik connectors, from audiophile.

These are the most "bang for your hard earned peso" cables.

For my mini connectors, i used to use radio shack patch cables but the get busted after a few months. the patch cables from lazer (dinosaur) do the trick, their shortness dont seem to affect the tone much, considering that i use them to hook up just my ibanez mostortion and wah to my dg-stomp.

can't teach an old dog neutriks? i'd rather be an old dog than a dinosaur! hahahaha!

Same here Neutrik connectors from Audiophile. Not sure what brand the cables are but got them from Audiophile as well. Amazingly these cables have lasted me almost a decade. Well, I'm not a touring musician so I wouldn't say that these cables have been subjected to road abuse. Nonetheless they're very sturdy and sound quite decent as well.

-some no-name cable from guitar to stomp boxes
-Proel Diehard cables between stomps
-some no-name cable from effects to amp

any of you guys heard about this PROEL brand? its the only one available where i'm at that looks competent. although i don't really care much for cables. as long as it's working and there's no hum, it's fine with me :)

klotz is the best bang for the buck cable you could buy locally. so good that i'll be getting another pair. if there's hum, the first i'll probably check is my guitar.


sa bahay, george l's. sa gig, klotz or whirlwind. i'd like to add some more pero next year na. dami pa kelangan gastusan :)

this may sound dumb, but yung ginagamit ba ninyong cables are microphone cables or instrument cables? kasi yung mga ibang pre-made cables eh Klotz microphone cables with Neutrik plugs. instrument cables kasi ginagamit ko e, i haven't tried using microphone cables to connect my guitar to my pboard in/amp in. ano difference ng signal quality pag microphone cables ang ginamit sa guitar? meron kasi sa Electronics Depot ng Quantum mic cable.. maganda yung construction nya, shielded and everything but of course, i want to ask the people here first before actually buying.

me? i make my own cables.. i get old mics, cut them wires to pieces, buy heads at DEECO, and solder them.. (well, that's for patch cables).. for my long cables, i still use my first guitar cable (well, the cable only, minus the heads).. and cut mic cables, and again, will buy one head (ok pa naman yung kabila), then solder... the only cables that i bought were my first 2 cables, and a lazer cable.. wala akong budget pang cables eh. hehe. nga pala, yung patch cables na iba ko, galing kay greg (maniacally cool).. i traded my boss metal zone box for 2. haay.. buti pa kayo.. :(
