"I am going to talk to you about cabling your pedal board. So the next step after you have actually applied your pedals to the board, is to you cables to connect all of your pedals together. What I like to do is to buy a dedicated set of small cables that are very high quality so you can preserve the signal when you are going through the individual cables. The very important point of the cables is this jack right here, these two male sides that actually eliminates having to have any cable right so ever. I recommend these between two pedals that are very close that they have their alphamax on the same side right here. I am going to use this right here between my equalizer pedal and my noise suppressor pedal. Next I am going to use a longer cable to connect my tremolo pedal to my EQ pedal. I am going to use another short cable to connect my noise suppressor to my tuner pedal and one of the features that I have with my noise suppressor pedal is an output that takes the tuner directly out of guitar signal for silent tuning. So once I connect my noise suppressor pedal to my tuner pedal, I connect the remaining two pedals in my set up. I have my modulation based affect, my chorus pedal and my time based affect my delay pedal."
