Shielded cable..... Where ?

[The Burpster]

Folks,
I'm putting together leads for my guitarists and my pedal boards..... I'll end up doing it (I dont mind really... )

However have we got any good sources of gear on here other than the obvious...

I will need good quality stuff like these two---

Yes he has.

Studiospares do a very acceptable Stereo Mic cable which I have used for stereo guitar leads.

Also I have a drum of stereo cable with two individually screened cable inside a single round jacket. Great for stereo jack cables but no good if you want to come out to separate jacks.

Dave,

Whilst that twin from Maplin isn't cheap, it would make a fantastic start for the effects loop?

BTW what braided sheath did you use?

I can blagg Blk Nylon stuff from my dads old employer (the stuff they used to make up welding cables with- same idea different leads....) but wondered if you had some 'pretty' stuff... ?

No just the black ribbed. Alright I lied about the ribbing.

But if its being used to / from a high impedance source input eg into the 'standard' hi-Z input of a amp / preamp / DI then should really use 'low noise' cable that has a semiconducting layer between the core and the screen. Usually available in single core only I think. Like Klotz Instrument Cable and most other sources have similar I think - Maplin / Farnell etc.

Anyway it reduces cable handling noise - the interference type noise you can get from moving a cable - triboelectric effect - by dissipating the charge which builds up ( basic explanation ).
High impedances mean much more susceptible to this than line or mic impedances where the use of cotton and other fillers to maintain the position of the cores is considered adequate.

Also its much more important for all of our signal to get thru, whereas lets face its just not that important for most vocalists is it.....?
