Well. Maybe I'll put it on gumtree then.

...'cos it's kind of quiet without it!

[paul_5]

Aah, Mojo doesn’t come cheap though, plus the snake oil etc...

[EBS_freak]

I think it's all down to the fact that there is lead in the solder.

For that money I could too...

[songofthewind]

Nope, it’s because it has passed through Alexander Dumble’s aura. THAT is what makes it sound so good.

[BreadBin]

Would this be a humble Dumble then?

[fleabag]

mumble..mumble..  reptile 20/50 .. mumble mumble

Hmm. Were those pancake jacks even around in the 70s? I thought they were a fairly recent invention to help people squeeze more pedals onto their boards.

Absolutely!

My first very cheap and nasty coily lead bought in 1975 had a flat jack plug just like that at one end.

Makes an audible difference, yes, possibly.  But does it make it better?

Better is entirely subjective.

Remember most guitars amps from a purist electrical engineering PoV are terrible, but it's those originally unwanted side effects of amplifying using valves that make them so desirable now.

I assume that cable came in through the Dumble door?

[PaulWarning]

I'm sure they'll be people who swear it improves the sound, they seem to have the capacity to fool their ears into hearing anything if they paid enough for it

[EBS_freak]

Just in case anybody is interested, I'll make you up a similar cable out of bell cable and a couple of crusty jacks and I'll even be charitable enough to charge half of what this guy is asking for.

Hell, I'll even throw in free postage.

[Hellzero]

I can make a better one with 99% Russian irradiated copper and 100% lead unfree solders for 1/3 of his asking price, but I'll have to charge £1000 GBP for the lead coffin as shipping fee.

[GisserD]

Less Dumble... More just plain old dumb! 

[alembic1989]

More front than Sainsbury's.

I was thinking more of whether it was really crackly.  Different
