Picky Pedals

Unread post by Appfro » Thu Jan 19, 2006 6:33 pm

I'm getting so pissed off.

I have on multiple occasions gotten new patch cables for my pedals. I have plenty of them, and plenty of length to hook them up, except...

My Boss Compression and Overdrive pedals are picky. They just won't accept some inputs. If i use some of the cables I have, they won't turn on just like I never put a cable into them at all. And if i put other cables in them their fine. The problem is that the majority of cables i have won't work on them and the ones that do aren't long enough for me to be able to set up my board the way I want to so that the pedals are in the correct order and where i need them to be.

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm afraid to order more cables cause i'm afraid they won't work on the pedals and then i've just wasted money.

try bringing your pedals to like samash/guitar center and just hook them up to a similar amp of your own

unfortunately we don't have one. the only things we have around here are little local shops w/ limited gear. but i could take the pedal w/ me when i go shop just so i know for sure. i guess i'm just pissed that i have to spend money on all new freaking chords

I had an ex-girlfriend that was the same way.
