SOLD THE CARVIN! Now I need to fix my shit up so I can start band searching/gigging once again. Reliability is king, but cheap is the bitch queen that's got the king by the balls...

1. I either need to buy some cables or build them myself. These include 3 longish (12'-15') cables and a bunch of patch cables for my pedal board.
These seem about right: (but where do I buy raw cable?)

2. I need an A/B pedal. GGG has a kit for $30 but maybe I could hobo it for less?

3. If I'm going to buy from GGG I might as well buy another kit :eyebrows: . I haz a SD-1, Big Muff, delay, tremolo... Maybe another fuzzy thingy?

Keep in mind that I'm going to order a few things from Mouser anyway as I need to change some scratchy pots and jacks in my guitar/pedals...

Do you have a boost? The GGG LPB-2 clone kit is pretty cheap and simple (fuck I got mine to work and I have terrible workmanship) and a good clean boost can be fun to use with fuzzes. I almost always slam my fuzzes with a boost.

Yo, order your cable parts from Redco: http://www.redco.com/

They have lots of options for cable and for connectors, and pretty decent pricing. For instance, the Neutrik straight plugs like you listed are just a little more than a buck a pop:

I haven't ordered anything from them yet myself . I don't know what their shipping rates are like to PR, or if they have a minimum order or anything either.

But for bulk cable parts purchasing, it is a place i see recommended often.

For the A/B, you can add up the parts at a place like Mammoth: http://www.mammothelectronics.com/ and see if you can get it put together for less, but just quickly guestimating:

Box - $6
Jacks - $2
DC Jack - $1
9v Clip - $1(closer to what a decent plastic one like the GGG kit has costs)
Switch - $4
Resistors+LEDs - $1
Rubber Feets - $1
Wire - $1 (less really)

Total roughly aboot $17-20ish? So yeah, you could get it for less, you would have to drill it yourself, and just make sure you don't forget to order enough of everything. :idk:

What did the proper total work out to be from Mammoth?

And out of curiosity, how much did they charge you for shipping?

The system doesn't automatically calculate shipping for PR... They are supposed to contact me with the shipping charges. My guess is that they will probably use a flat rate box like almost everyone else does when they use USPS.

Total was $17 but that includes an extra jack for my LP and a rotary switch for my Big Muff clone. I didn't order any wire as I have more then enough left over from teh map.
