  1. cables for sure. Those solid jacks can be a huge pain in the ass, especially since some pedals have their input on the sides, and some on the tops. You start having to place pedals sideways in that case. Not a big deal for some, but it was for me back when I had a pedal board I'd suggest getting some short cables, and judging by the outcome of your board, you can always change stuff around afterwards!

    I know a lot of people make their own patch chords, you can get little kits that are really easy to use, just cut to size and attatch a jack. There's even some with no soldering required.

    I'd suggest getting short cables (I did that and was happy) for now, but it's entirely up to you!

    Don't be cheap on cables. If you use bargain cables... guitar to effects / effect to effect / and/or effects to amp - it will suck the life out of your tone.

    I remember seeing one dude, spent a lot of money on a Monster cable lead but had shit cables for the rest of the 'chain' (Effect to Effect and Effects to amp). He was confused why his tone was dying.

    Any job worth doing is worth doing right. Doesn't mean you have to have Monster cable. There are a lot of quality products out there.

    George L's are nice. You can cut them to size. They are solderless.

    There are other great cables. I have had great success with the George L's.
  4. Heey guys,

    Its been a long time I posted something here, I decided to start over again
    New year, more music and more passion.

    Im a beginner guitar player, Im just learning the basics right know, I have a little question about pedals and stuff, I own the boss dd3 pedal and I am the owner of the G2NU

    Has anyone any experience with that thing, I got it from uncle but I don't know what to do with it yet. Any suggestions?
  5. People, how do you call this hexagonal pieces?



    Is it called nut??

    I need to buy one of them in order to tie the jack of my acoustic guitar, and I don't know how it's called in English and most importantly where to find them. Thanks!

    EDIT. This is in fact the one I need:
  6. I'd personally call that a nut
  7. Yup Sergio, that's a flat nut.

    And to refresh the question above yours, I actually don't know anything or have even seen that pedal you posted a picture of- but wait for our friend Jeff to find the topic again, he can usually be of some great help.

    You might also try searching the Guitar Center website for the pedal to see what it does, or even the manufacturers website for a possible manual if you don't even have a clue how to use it.
  8. Or search the pedal on YouTube, found out a lot about mine that way

    I don't actually know much on the G2NU. I'd say sell it, save a bit more money and buy a Line6 HD 500.

    If you bought the G2Nu in the last 30 days from Guitar Center (some other dealers are decent too) you might be able to return it to the store for full price.

    If that isn't in the cards, sell the G2nu and Boss pedal. Then buy the Line 6 HD 500.

    Line 6 M13 is great too but as the M13 are HD 500 are the same prices and the HD 500 does more... I'd vote for the HD 500.

    One can get a lot of great guitars tones / a lot of Edgelike tones for $500.
  10. Just bought a rickenbacker 330 6 string Got a great price for it on the bay, on it's way here now. I'll post some pictures and general thoughts once it gets here!

  11. So Sweeeeeet and Special
