I would get one more different than just that. Last thing you need is to grab the wrong cable in the dark at a show. Tapping off the jacks is a must as well. Also I PM'd you.

I don't know about other people's setups, but I couldn't mess that up. The speaker cable is the only 3' cable I have, the rest are all either 15' and longer, or 6" patch cables.

My speaker cables are made out of mains extension cables. No chance of mixing those up with instrument cables, even in the dark.

I've already done that with my Effects Loop I planned on doing it with my entire rig, but ran out of tape colors ![]() Edit: I'm with you on the 3' length versus the length of any instrument cables. I only have two cables that are gold-tipped, too. My instrument cable, which is 21' and my Speaker cable, which is 3' If you can confuse those, dark be damned, you are good at confusing shit. It also helps that the instrument cable has an angled jack on one end. This whole conversation reminds me that I need to get some new cables for my effects loop and a new XLR cable. ![]()

Current is what drives a speaker. Voltage drop is so insignificant as to not matter. The resistances we're talking about are fractions of an Ohm, even with a really shitty cable. Speaker cable mojo is pretty much bull shit, as there aren't really any factors regarding why they should sound different like instrument cables. |
