The GroovyPlucker Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Can anyone recommend good cables to connect my pedals on a pedal board? I've saved some Van Damme ones on ebay, flat heads, poss called pancake heads or summat, Cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge_bass Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I use these https://m.thomann.de/gb/sommer_cable_spirit_xs_highflex_02.htm?o=61&search=1552464553 not cheap but super high quality and I’ve never had any issues with them on any of my boards. Don’t skimp on cables, you’ll regret it when you’re pulling your board to pieces 5mins before the gig trying to find the crackling from one of many leads!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I've got a bunch of the above also. I'd go for a solderless wiring kit though if you want everything super tight and neat. A lot of people like the flat EBS cables, they are very slim and flexible, but I found them to introduce a lot of noise in certain environments, I suspect the shielding is not up to scratch, whether that's due to the plastic jacks or the cable construction itself, I'm not sure.

AxelF Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I've started using these and absolutely love them - my board is unrecognisable from the pile of spaghetti it resembled before hand. They're incredibly simple to make and I've never had a bad connection after making about 20/25 different leads so far. Again, not cheap but worth it for me.
