Zip cable tidy

[jrixn1]

To slightly tidy up my area of the stage, I bought one of these - search on eBay for "Fisual Zip Cable Tidy Wrap".  They're about a tenner.

It's easy to use - you don't need to thread the cables through or anything like that, because it unzips fully along its length.  Just first roughly gather the cables together, then wrap the cable tidy around and zip it up.

My gear position, power supply positions, and general stage logistics vary from gig to gig - but in this instance, it was two power cables (monitor and pedal board), USB (to charge my phone), and an XLR send to the desk.  Other gigs I might also have an instrument cable in there and a monitor XLR from the desk.  I've survived years without the cable tidy but it all does seem a bit neater now.

that is a good idea. I use a rechargeable battery to power my pedalboard,which has a wireless unit on it too, so just one instrument cable from the board to the amp

These are useful too.  I bought something similar but smaller from Screwfix.  These are £24 and mine was £15 I think.

I got some of this stuff at a boot sale.  Quite useful as one of the pubs we play the cables for PA and lights have to go across a doorway.

Yes that's the stuff I got from Screwfix.
