Last I heard was that George L doesn't make right angle plugs anymore. Any more suggestions?
Thanks |

I like Lava Cables. Their right angle plug has a low clearance, so you can put your pedals close together.

| I'd love to know about a soldered cable that's good quality and doesn't take up much room. I'm always tearing apart my pedalboard to make up what I need for each gig. The solderless cables are too prone to failure for that. |

| I like Axekisser pancake patch cords. Sound great and very durable and reliable and you can keep effects close to each other. |

I just got the George L right-angle cable kit (from Sweetwater). Hardware and cable for 10 short cables for about $80. (No, I didn't get the *gold* ones: they are 10 bucks more.)
Good sound qualities, they go together in a trice (no soldering, and you cut them to the length that you want.

Commercial short cords are not too bad if the effects are stationary.
Things on the floor operated by foot take a beating over the years.

I disagree. The cheap molded 6" cables sold in 6-packs in guitar stores muddy the signal and hum like crazy if any power cord is placed within a foot of them, rendering them useless on powered pedalboards. I just threw about 10 away today that had been laying around!

Analogman has the George L right angle plugs, the type with the tiny set screws. I just purchased some from him a couple of days ago.

| I prefer the dual quarter inch hard plugs. They are available in a straight or offset style (if you are using different brands of pedals and the jacks do not line up). Negative side; naturally do not work with pedals with top mounted jacks. |
