FPE-TV How To Properly Roll Guitar and Mic Cables

[Lad0Barn0vi]

what the fuck was i thinking when i bought 10 meter cable for the amp that is half meter away from me -_-

[crisprapper]

@Lad0Barn0vi I bought 100m of cable and am currently using perhaps 5m total of the 2x30m and 2x20m sections it's been cut into.

whose idea was it to film him zoomed in so close that you can only see one hand at a time ?

[kevw909]

rubbish. how about showing him in full frame so we can see??

[deeryit]

^ saved my life

[sebz661]

this actually helped me with rolling up my water hose.

[VJFranzK]

this much is good, but more description would be better than the fast motion footage! Also, what's the best way to keep cables from uncoiling, if there's no velcro thing on em? and what about the figure 8 shaped method?

[edg6543]

what's the background song?

[HRVDNT]

I've just been cable roll'd.

[ArmEdmOnkEy1]

lol

how hard it can be to roll a cable^^

[whamuniversal]

good stuff, just like a garden hose

[LinuxUser4Life]

This is so fucking hard! :(

[rickalex21]

@LinuxUser4Life lol right , a cable is a cable...hahaha

[planetmirth2001]

Very useful.

I've just designed a product for a company called Other Fish Limited who manufacture a grip device that will hold the cables in place once they are properly rolled. For anyone who's interested, check out the "Talon Grip" video response above.

Thanks again for the advice.

[paraglidermx]

you can also roll them w/ your fingers to keep them from twisting

[smoov360]

I'm learning this in my Audio class right now, lol. I'll admit to having a bit of trouble with the over under wrap, anyone have any advice shoot it my way.

[Yootoobsuchs]

X, you can get them too small. Your goal is to preserve the twists in the conductors without imparting new ones, and to preserve the continuity of the shielding. If you go too small, you're starting to stress the shielding, and stress the insulation on the conductors and on the covering.

Depending on the diameter of the cable, the loop should be anywhere from from about ten inches in diameter for a short guit cord, to three to five feet across for a 6 channel, 250 foot snake.

[lepie1]

Lol? =P

[WilliamBonneau]

I was wondering why all my solders were coming undone in my patch cords, and it was cause I was twisting the cable without knowing it.

thanks

[benderpolice]

Are you Staging Connections crew? Then watch this freakin video you pinheads and sart rolling cable properly before you worry about getting your grotty hands on a Hog.

[DethDaeNossi]

haha

[Breakingsundown]

TECH SUPPOOOOOOOORT!

[buttons5474]

I had seen this video before, and I was recently searching for it.. I wonder why they just reposted it :o

[meev991]

because it's so vitally important to do it correctly =]

[DCGats]

@meev991 It will allow your cables to have a longer life, not rolling them properly stresses the cable.

[Vipmaxp]

@meev991 it really is.

[NotTheFaceBro]

@meev991 No shit its important. If you actually played an instrument you would know how much of a a bitch it looks when you unravel it not properly rolled up.

[chrisalmostsk8]

sick

[XiphosXTi]

What's a good size loop to start with? Is it possible to have one too small?
