RF Scott Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 To be honest, its probably better to buy some decent leads that'll last you a long time, rather than a load of crap ones that you'll have to re-solder/throw out/hang yourself with, or whatever.

Mac Atom Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Try Tom's.Good enough quality Rotosound leads (if quite short) for 2 and packs of 6 decent (and funky coloured) Rotosound patch leads for about a fiver I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lime ruined my life Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Maplin are pretty good for ALL cabling needs, i bought a roll of 100m of networking cable for about 20 quid, and a bag of ends for about 50p. i'll never need to buy network cable again in my life.You can do a similar thing for guitar cables. Although if you are making a pedal board it's probably better to get a variety of S and right angle patch leads, depending on what pedals you have, to minimise the distance between pedals.

Guest five years Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 for connecting pedals buy patch leads, as they are MILES shorter than any instrument cable you can buy and therefore 'lower noise' and a cleaner signal, more than anything there's less cable to fanny about with.as for regular cables, buy planet waves, £15 a pop but have a lifetime guarentee.
