Tone Matters. Use It Well.
Took some time to evaluate my effects board recently, and discovered that every time (98%) my effects board is picked up or transported to/from a venue, the cable connection plugs loosen up, and play havoc with the signal path.
I currently use Lava Cable Tightrope connectors. In recent postings, some forum members have mentioned other cable connectors: some custom-made, some kits.
My choice was replacing the Tightrope cable with Lava Cable Piston Mini-ELC connections that uses a allen-wrench-tightened plug and cable. The design is more easily assembled, but needs to be done correctly to insure a good cable. The cable and plugs are due to arrive soon, and I hope to spend some time putting the connections together next week.
What say you good folks? What effects cable connections do you use, and why? What is most cost-effective and/or why did you choose the more expensive route?
