Scotticus Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Hi folks, So, I got me a Lava kit to hook up my new pedal board. For the uninitiated, it's decent cable with teeny tiny right angled jacks and supposedly simple solderless assembly for simpletons like me. I've chopped the wire to roughly the desired length (luckily left a bit extra in case I botched anything), stripped a few CM of the outer coating away, the core underneath appears to be in pretty much top-notch condition though I confess to having nothing to compare it to, and there is just enough of it to thread through the jack insert thingy. Basically, i read the instructions and followed them so far as I can tell. Trouble is, despite trying multiple jacks and even a different section of cable just in case, I haven't had a signal successfully passing through yet. I can only imagine I'm missing something incredibly obvious. Anybody got any thoughts/tips? Cheers in advance Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 You need to make sure that you fold all of the outer sheath back over the plug - it only takes one strand to be touching the centre conductor to stop the cable from working.
