Cable - weakest link in the chain

Don't get me wrong - I don't play dollar store 12 pack specials. I use decent cables that hold up, mostly Live Wires. I personally have no need for big buck boutique cables, and I'm thankful that I'm not cursed with the ears to hear the difference.

Hey, good to know. I stumbled on Live Wires and was pleasantly surprised at how much single coil and pedal chain noise was reduced by replacing some real cheapies with some Live Wires, and they are relatively reasonable and go on sale occasionally. I was thinking as I read this thread that they would be good enough for me. I may learn to "roll my own" for additional pedal connectors at some point.

Next time you are looking to get cables, give ProCo as try - 20' for $15, plus 1) they go on sale a couple times a year, 2) Free shipping, and of course 3) no tax.

Steve,

I like my Live Wire cables. They sound good to me. They have been folded, spindled, mutilated, crushed, run over..................and generally abused at gigs..........................and I have yet to replace one. They're pretty tough. :D
