best cables for a crowded pedal board?

Post by CBGB »

OK, so things are getting tight on my board and part of the problem is the cables I have are a bit oversized and dorky. What small patch cables do you recommend for economising space and cramming more pedals in?

if you don't mind soldering, buy some decent cable and pancake-style jacks (switchcrafts of their copies) and make your own... or if you don't mind spending, buy George L's :facepalm:

pancake-style jacks are the best for keeping pedals close

The Lava solderless kit is nice, plugs are tiny and easy to assemble, saves a bunch of space. Only real downside is cost...

I'm using Monorail cable with Lava plugs.

I use warwick cables, as they are small and cost about $10 for 6. The ones Captain posted with the pancake jacks are prob your best bet.
