Always ran a 20ft to the OD pedal ontop of the amp, these days its a 12 ft cable to the amp and a 20ft speaker cable to the cabinet. :laugh2:

Nine foot cable to the pedalboard and a 15-footer to the amp. Since I'm singing lead or harmony on every song, I don't stray too far away from the mic. I keep my pedalboard connects as short as possible; and I also keep my speaker runs as short as possible or shorter!!!! LOL! You lose a lot of power running long speaker cables--you are just heating up the wire.

Re: What length cables do you use?

I have a 10ft cable from my guitar to my pedalboard and (usually) another 10ft from pedalboard to my amp. There's times when I have to use a 15ft or a 20ft from pedalboard to amp though.

30' Guitar <-> Amp, or (more likely) wireless.

I've got a 20ft to the pedal board, then another 20ft to the amp. But there is a fair bit of cableon the pedal board too. I'm sure i'm losing tons of signal, but i havent the money to sort out my board properly.

15-20' for guitar to pedals + pedals to amp, but i have a 40' if I ever need it.

Me, amp to pedal board is like a 3 footer, pedalboard to guitar like a 10 footer....

Re: What length cables do you use?

20' straight to the amp, but I also use 20 footers in my effects loop for my V-twin and flange pedals.

Whatever I had Back in the gigging day, I didn't really care about details.

Re: What length cables do you use?

If I am not running wireless I have a 20' Planet Waves from the rack or amp to my pedals and a 15' PL from the pedals to the guitar.

Re: What length cables do you use?

i usually use 12' to the pedal tuner and 12' to the amp but on big stages i use 20' to the tuner and for small stages i just use one 12' and keep the tuner on the amp

Any cable that is lying around and doesn't make noise.

Re: What length cables do you use?

Me? 12' guitar to dynacomp (because that was the shortest instrument cable from Monster---about 1/3 of that was coiled together this morning), 1M Dynacomp to POD xt Live, 9" POD to DI, 1M DI to bass combo I used for a guitar monitor.

20ft min. Guitar to amp.

...and 1/2 of that is twisted into a knot from all that jumping around

Any cable that is lying around and doesn't make noise.

We have a winner!

Re: What length cables do you use?

20 ft Mogami w/ Neutrik connectors to my wah pedal (first on the board). From there its George L's on the pedalboard (soon to be replaced mostly by Lava Cable patch cables). From there its a Monster Cable, which I believe is a 10 footer.
