theElevators Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Hi there. Just wondering: how do you keep your instrument cable? The thing that I find kind-of inconvenient is that the 1/4 inch cable plugs into the back panel. So there's a possibility that the guitar cable can get in the way of the expression pedal/buttons. Do you tape the cable down, so it doesn't get in the way? Or do you weigh the cable with the Helix itself? Any other hacks/tricks? thanks, d.

Cramming cables underneath gear is never a solution... you're asking for a busted jack and/or cable. Not to mention creating a unstable Helix that'll wobble every time you step on a footswitch because it can't sit flush with the floor. Quote Any other hacks/tricks? thanks, d. Go wireless... problem solved. And you'll never want a guitar cable again. Failing that, most of life's problems can be solved with either duct tape, or WD40.... Hint: in this case, you don't want the WD40. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish there were some kind of a "yoke" thing for the cable. I dunno... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 1. Get a case that allows jacks to be plugged in, or at least ported, where you need. 2. They sell cords and adapters that allow a right angle. 3. tape is the musician's friend*. buy it by the case. 4. go wireless live *most musicians will never know the feel of having gear taped to their body. i suggest shaving first.
