Author Topic: Neutrik plugs and Quantum/Klotz cables: Do you recommend it? (Read 5536 times)

Poundcake · « **on:** April 26, 2006, 11:59:28 PM »

guys, i just thought about this since the other cable thread started to get nasty (yet again). is it a good idea to buy customized patch cables with Neutrik angled plugs and Quantum/Klotz for my pedalboard or should i stick to the standard Peavey patch cables being sold at Audiophile? George L's and Planet Waves DIY cables aren't available here, so i guess this is the next best thing. the pedalboard i'm assembling has eleven stompboxes by the way; it's quite a lot so i guess this becomes a factor too. please post your recommendations. thanks!

those peavey patch cables are sturdier than they look. i've been mangling three of these for more than a year now. buo pa.

i also like neutrik plugs for my guitar cables. i neither know nor care about how they affect tone, but i love the way the contacts are protected inside the plug.

i use the exact same stuff. i haven't had a peavey patch cable go bad.

well, not yet. feeling ko malapit na rin. yung pedalboard ko rin kase ndi mashadong stable. darn automotive carpeting won't stick. my pedals are sliding around so much that it's either i fill it up with stuff so that things don't slide around, or tinatanggal ko yung ibang cables. hassle nga lang pag next gig.

so kung properly secured yung pedals mo, the peaveys are probably fine. kaya lang you might have a need for a longer patch.

stay away from those dinosaur patch cables. kabibili ko lang nung saken, mejo palyado na yung iba.

neutrik/klotz cables are worth it, IMO. probably the best you can find that's readily available.

Tama! Maganda nga mechanics ng Neutrik plug. Hindi gumagalaw yung solder joint sa loob kaya reliable kahit ilang beses nang nahahatak-hatak yung cable

Yung cable hindi ko rin naririnig pinagkaiba sa mahal kaya ok na sa akin professional mic cable para mas mura. Hehehehe.

ok yun neutrik plugs - mukhang matibay, ok din yun plug nya once its its connected to a guitar/effects, madali pa i-solder

spankyrigor, i suggest bili ka ng velcro sa divisoria na per meter para sa pedal board...para stable yun peds mo...mura lang yun, dati P30 / meter eh...

spankyrigor · « **Reply #5 on:** April 27, 2006, 03:36:45 AM »

haey: oo nga eh. i DO plan to build a decent pedalboard, tapos velcro talaga. tamad lang ako heheh.

Guys, saan nakakabili ng mga guitar cables na na mention nyo? Bakit parang walang nagba banggit ng Fender Cables na available sa Perfect Pitch? Hindi ba ok yun?

Kasi di ka pumupunta sa AUDIOPHILE e! Sige, click mo na...

maganda ang neutrik cables.. tska klotz and nobelle...kaya lang laging isang kulay lng yung stock nila.. gusto ko maraming kulay kasi ginagamit ko rin yun for color coding ng mga cables..

deltaslim · « **Reply #9 on:** April 27, 2006, 09:30:52 AM »

+1 on the above recommendations. i use Neutriks too but i'm not sure what the cables are! they've been with me for years. wanna try those klotz, etc.... for pedalboard i use Boss or generic Lazer lang. maikli lang naman so i don't worry about signal degradation.

aaahhh.... refreshing to see a discussion on cable that considers its other important properties and the real needs of musicians.

is this better? more insulation daw from noise since to use it as a guitar cable, mono lang, so yung isang di gamit na 'channel', acts as extra protection from noise. ?

thanks guys! hmmm mukhang nacoconvince na ako mag-Neutrik all the way sa pedalboard ko ah.. P120 per plug pa naman yun aray ko hehe

off topic, pero sige. hehehe.

yung fender california cables seem fine to me, pero i know a few owners saying the solder joints get loosened. the more expensive model is more durable, i think. for patch cables, i don't know. i've never seen or used one.

hamsterjamster · « **Reply #15 on:** April 27, 2006, 12:52:22 PM »

mura yung sa lazer hehe..p60 lang..la kanang hassle..i dnt think there;d be much difference..but that;s just my opinion

Mono mic cable lang gamit ko, hindi yung balanced na 3 conductor.

Ganito nakaprint sa kanya, "Audio Pro® Professional Series Low Noise Microphone Cable by Sound Tech USA"

Wala akong marinig na difference compared sa Klotz instrument cable namin. Siguro dapat meron ngang pinagkaiba dahil mas mataas yung mic level kesa sa instrument level e.

Gamit ko Belden cable same used sa balanced patches nang recording studio.

Ang instrument-level nagva-vary from very low mic-levels to large line-levels.

For the money, OK ang Klotz. It softens the sound a bit.

i see, thanks. but for pedalboard purposes, di naman siguro ganun kalaki yung degradation diba? i added a pickup booster din nga pala so kahit papaano pwede macompensate yung signal loss. pero yun nga, tone pa rin yung mababawasan..

Boss,

Hindi ko masabi dahil unique ang setup mo. In theory it should not matter much but you never know until you try.
