Guitar rig/patch cables

[bryan_kilco]

Looking to re-organize my rack and use colored patch cables to make things a bit easier back there.

What kind of patch cables do you guys like and why?

Should I spend the extra $ and get something like Mogami or Planet Waves, etc? Or should I save that $ and just get the mediocre cables?

Just bought wireless unit and the rack will consist of (if it matters):

Furman PL-8
Korg DRT2 Tuner
Line 6 Relay G90 wireless

I use the Planet Waves ones and think they're good. I'm sure the Mogami ones are excellent too.

Well, I guess my real question is:

Is it worth the $25 per cable for 18" Mogami, or spend like $22 and get something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/SEISMIC-AUD...bles_Snakes_Interconnects&hash=item58a23f05e2

?

If I buy Mogami, I'll need like 8 of them. That's a chunk of dough....

My old tour rig was wired with George Ls. Sounded great.

Georg Ls all day.

I use vovox/evidence cables. i like em. just get cables with low resistance and you will be fine.

I made my own using Mogami cable and Neutrik/Switchcraft connectors but if it's going to be in a rack the solderless George L's should be fine

George L's or the Planet Waves pedalboard kit + colored gaff.

Lava.

Oh damn, never heard of the George L's.

They look pretty nifty!

I already made a purchase on some "cheaper" cables. I'll see how they do. Maybe I'll upgrade again in the near future as I want to build my complete live-in rack but that will be costing me another pretty penny.

I hated the George L's stuff, YMMV

I just go to Guitar Center, or wherever, and buy some Mogami cable and Neutrik/Switchcraft connectors. Cut the cable to length, solder/crimp the connectors and you're good to go. Some zip ties for bundling the cables... Cheaper than pre-made cables, too. For color coding, I use different colored heat shrink on the cables as desired.

For my last live rig I just used colored cables, blue ones for the fx loop and red ones for the front-of-amp-pedals. They were less than a foot long.
