Storing cables?

Re: Storing cables?

Over-under looped and packed gently into a small road case. That's how it's always been for me. Some cables I use for recording only. I never hang them, I just lay them on the top of the outboard studio gear rack or put in a drawer of mics and XLR cables.

Re: Storing cables?

Anybody ever seen the thesis a guy mathematician did on why your cables no matter how hard you try will always get tangled?

I'll see if I can find it -it's pretty funny

Entropy wins eventually.

Re: Storing cables?

I only keep cables I’m using and they only get coiled during transport to gigs or studio. I do loose over/under for that and use Velcro ties just firm enough to hold. The only cables that really get stored are the power cables for amps I’m not using at the moment. Those I coil back just like the factory had them using the tie that came with them. Never had a problem in thirty years.

Re: Storing cables?

I am amateur but I put my pedal board (it is not too big) and cables all in a single hand luggage (you know those with a handle and wheels for flights). Cables are stored with Velcro and are tied using some forward-backwards twist technique to avoid them to twist and damage with time. The real trick is to know when too much is too much, you can keep lots of cables "just in case" but some times you end up with too many backup cables.

Re: Storing cables?

Ive always run a pretty lean ship. (aside from too many guitars) these new ones are "extra". Some of my old ones are shorting out, so wanted to get some spares.
