My co-worker did a Lava/Divine Noise shootout in the shop today. Divine Noise wins hands down.

Armour Gold as normal practice and live cable. Between the effects it depends? Small boards have armour gold, big ones cheap cables by Cordial.
Imho: more treble, more Details. Deal with it.
Sommer Grindycop Beast are in my price range. Are they rugged? Not too much noise or RFI?
On the list at the moment:
-Evidence Audio Forte
-Sommer Grindycop Beast (by Lava Cable)
-Divine Noise
I will go with a 12'' if available else a 15'' (guitar to the board) and a 10'' (board to the amp).

That's the problem here I cannot try anything. I will have to order online.
Most store just have Digiflex which I really don't like (they use canare and they are very trebelly).
There is one store who have Evidence Audio... but probably don't have them in stock.
I will go there today.

I arrive from the best local store here in Quebec.
Exactly what I though... they have Digiflex, Digiflex and Digiflex.
Oh... and Evidence Audio on order only.
That suck.

You can get Evidence Audio cable and good quality plugs from mammoth.
I guess that would make it so you can't try it first, but I don't think you'd go wrong with that shizz

Yep you're right Officier... I would save a lot to build them myself. But I never done any soldering and I don't have the equipment to do it and test it.
And it's always better to shield the plugs (inside the connector)... I don't have anything to do that.
Like 76$ (before custom fee) for a 10'' instead of 135$.

If you want to order them from mammoth I'd totes be down to solder them up for you and ship them to you marked as a gift on the customs form. I'd do it for free if you paid the shipping.
They're real easy to solder up. PM me if you want my help. I make them all professional-like.

Thanks buddy.
I sent a couple of email to some shop in Ontario... they do custom lengt etc...
Will see how it cost... I'll get back to you if I decide to do it this way.
That very kind from you.
The description of the Forte look like what I need even if I dont like the brownish color. But I use the Monorail on my pedalboard... so...

Yeah I'd like to make all my cables with that Evidence Audio Forte cable but that shizz adds up pretty quick for us pedal whores
How do you like the Monorail? Is it normal thickness or the thin type?

For the sound I like the monorail a lot... a very goos improvement over my old Georges L.
My onli complait... thay are a bit too rigid.

in what way was it superior? I use Lava Coilys or Un-coils for everything, sounds good to me.
I love coily - LOVE - and the Lavas are sure better than Bullet/Fender/what-have-you. I'd be up for a change if there was a compelling reason, though.
