Re: pedal cable kits planet waves vs. george L
For pedal interconnects, the George L's work great for me (no gigging though). That's using the right angle connectors. Before, I had a miscellaneous collection of crappy connectors and was surprised just how much tone, especially highs and upper mids, a series of bad leads can suck out of your sound. BIG difference with the George L's.
I did have some problems initially with the straight George L connectors. It's possible to screw in the set screw too far and short out the cable. Ended up turning it one rotation, checking for ground continuity with the DMM, then turning again until it was just making solid contact with the shield. No problem at all with the right angle connectors, and YMMV.
BTW Guitar Heaven usually has excellent prices on George L stuff, especially the pedalboard kit.
