Have you actually worked out how much you've spent on patch cables there? At a glance, and using your numbers unless I've misunderstood, we're looking at about: 02.95 (min) 07.95 07.95 ------- 18.85 (x 9) = $169.65 Am I missing something?

27 connectors @ $7.95 = 214.65 And 12ft of cable @ $2.95 = 29.50. Total $244.15

Pedalboard cabling is not cheap for sure. Even the prepackaged Planet Waves cable kits with 10' of cabling and 10 plugs is over $100 here in Canada. I think I spent close to $700 on my one board.

I've got one. Didn't remember to unplug when I wasn't playing, so 3 hours later the battery power died instantly! There was no noticeable signal degradation (Mackie board, Alto speakers, noisy bar - who cares?!)

For one thing the suitable a Neutrik is not only $4.26 per, connector but is way bulkier to try to fit into a tight organized pedal board situation like I have. And then of course you have to mess around with soldering up 27 connectors which is no way near as quick, clean, or convenient as SIS (Screw In Solderless) 27 connectors https://www.markertek.com/product/np...xoC94wQAvD_BwE And while the equivalent cabling of Klotz is certainly seems way cheaper per foot @ , at aprox $1.00 per foot it would have to shipped from UK to US which increases the price per foot, AND it is also bulkier to try to configure https://www.studiospares.com/klotz-ac110-high-end-guitar-cable_544590.htm Klotz/Neutrik---Pricing 27 Connectors @ $4.26 = $115.02 12 ft of cable @ $ 1.00 = $12.00 + shipping Total ... $127.02 (about $100 cheaper) BUT you have not even started to factor in soldering time which is going to take I am guessing 2-4 times as long as the Evidence Audio "Screw In " type (and will be no more reliable) and you have not yet shipped them ..... So NO , unless your time is worth nothing, the reality is there may be little actual savings for all the flailing around trying to save some money, and one could be simply be shooting oneself in the foot (which might actually be the definition of "madness"). jusss sayin'.

Absolutely! I still think you're all mad, it couldn't possibly be me. In *some* seriousness, there are certain aspects of my own life to which I pay scrupulous, possibly unwarranted, care and attention much to the amusement of my wife and kids so I have no issue with other people choosing to do the same in any area that has meaning for them. Except for the Magic Beans people of course, they are beyond help.

But maybe there is only one pedal, and 2 cheap guitar cables really needed ?
