Generic cables..........I need to break down and buy better ones.....I think its hurting my sound.....

    Dunlop .73 Nylon (w/ the anti-slip grip... they rock :D)

    And Tasker cables... no need to replace those until I replaced my wah which sucks tone a lot more than most cables will...

    I use Dunlop Tortex .73's, like many other people around here do.

    For cables, I use a nice and thick "Planet Waves" from my guitar to my pedals, then various, medium quality patch cables in between pedals, and then a pretty heavy guage cable from there to my amp. For speaker cables, I use Monster.

    At some point I'm going to upgrade the patch cables, but for now my tone isn't too bad.
    Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference. I'm not trying to make a difference. I'll stop trying to make a difference. No way!

    I use Dunlop Nylon picks, and I generally refuse to use anything but a nylon. I play mostly .73 and .88 thickness... depends on how I feel that night. Occasionally I'll use a 1.00, but I have those mostly for when I play bass with a pick.

    Cables... eh, I use whatever I can find that looks alright. Sure, a nice Planet Waves or Mogami or Monster cable is nice, but cables break or get lost. My pedal board is wired with cheapo patch cables at the moment, but once I re-focus my money on guitar world, I'll recable that, at least. Since it's always plugged in, the cables ain't breaking OR getting lost. Generally, I try to use Hosa cables for my guitar-to-board and board-to-amp runs... best balance of price vs. quality, IMO.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.
