Diagnosing and Repairing Cable Problems: Review and How-To

[@FantasticF113]

Absolute classic. This was supposed to be an instructional video, but ended up more like a Monty Python sketch

[@crackuhpleez]

Good review and demo. Thanks for showing most of the options, including TRS and TS guitar/1/4 cables, and explaining how they test differently as well as WHY!

[@cals29utube]

Your explanation of the TS Jack was crucial because I’m using another device (not the same brand or model) and it does not have a clear explanation of why pins one and three are connected - but it’s because as you said the sleeve and the ring are the same … whatever you said … but it was quite useful to know that.

I like your honesty! Great video thanks for showing us how to use it!

Loved the sine wave and color screen hahaha

Thanks for the review. Those are horrible XLR cable ends, I have replaced so many of them, I have the Pyle PCT60 cable tester, the big daddy version of this cable tester, works about the same but more connectors. I usually replace the ends of these XLR's when they go bad with some much better ends and they have a 2nd life. If you try soldering they usually just break again. I don't ever buy those XLR cables but they have come with some of my lights, like the American DJ pars.

That's indeed a very useful device. I used to buy a new guitar cable sometimes in the past, because my electric guitar was always crackling whenever I moved a little bit. Turns out that it was the output jack on the guitar that had worn out over time. I replaced it recently, and now it's a tight fit again. But I have a bunch of older cables now that could use some testing.

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

Often a good quality contact cleaner will help with that, and sometimes you can bend the connectors internally on the jack to make better contact, if you want to avoid replacing it. But yes, this tester works REALLY well, and has paid for itself over and over again.

Thank you so much sir for your packaged information

[@Jellydonutable]

Ouch! Hope that didn't leave a scar! I need to wire my pedal board and one of these can sure come in handy. Very helpful video, thanks!

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

It left a burn scar for a couple weeks, but it went away. Sure did hurt, though! :)

[@davidw64us1964]

Ty for having this video

[@davidoverbeck5142]

Great video. Took one for the team. ;)

[@pecos_music]

HAHAHAHAHAHAH man when the iron falls. I'm learning and also enjoying myself.

[@pecos_music]

Damn didn't see you burnt yourself. Sorry about that.

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

Learn not to have your hot soldering iron tangled up with other wires!

[@pecos_music]

@@ScottsSynthStuff I was doing some cables yesterday and ran into that problem... I was lucky not to toss the iron a couple times tbh. Hope your finger's fine!

[@drumbyte]

You definitely earned that like! 🌶️

Hi Scott, what kind of racking is holding up all that glorious equipment?

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

I think you're talking about the synths shown in the end card? Those were on display at the Sweetwater headquarters, and from the looks of them, they are the same stands that I have - OnStage.

[@roythomasful]

I just got this ct100 behringer. I plug in the cables. I see lights but I get no sound. does this thing have a speaker inside it? Please help! april 14, 2024.

[@mo8748]

Does it buzz if there a fault in the cable - no? not simple enough!

[@thehangmansaxe]

Noice!

[@dasuino]

joga esse cabo azul no lixo.

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

Exactly what I ended up doing, if you watch to the end of the video.
