Re: Guitar Patch Cables...
I remember when I first was looking around for good patch cables. I read a lot of good and bad review of the George L's. For some reason I decided to try them. I found that if you were careful, you could get good connections and they worked fine. I actually wrote a review of them and rebuked all those that wrote bad reviews.
Well several years later and I find that they do in fact lose their ground connection with time, corrosion, and movement (yes, even on a pedalboard there is movement of the cables). Everytime I step on a box that still is connected with George L's, I hear that annoying loss-of-ground scratchy noise.
I've replaced most of my Gearge L's...time to get the rest of them off my board.
Best ones are the ones I make myself with good Neutrik plugs.
