100% agree with not leaving well enough alone. As soon as I get a good idea to bundle and loom cables, I'm tearing it up again because I want to swap something out. Fak me im repeating myself

I sometimes think I've reinvented the wheel ten zillion times!

Definitely the best way in many situations - purest tone!

In my ad work, I get called on to do various sounds, so a smattering of pedals is called for; but last week I took all the digital stuff off my pedalboard. I may put a Strymon EC-1 back on because the delay tone was actually pretty good, but it'll go into its own loop that I can use when desired.

Lol Alex,
I thought tone came from the hands and speakers

Everybody knows tone is stored in the front-butt.

But seriously, in the context of a Recording sub-forum, a lot more goes on besides hands and speaker. Mic, room, location within that room and the objects placed in that room dictate what is finally fed through the mic preamp, compressors or other outboard gear, before it hits the control desk in the other room and from a pair of monitors...

Just that last sentence is enough cables to make me want to Indiana Jones my way across the room and over those vicious snakes!

Playing guitar? Hell yes give me a cable and let'er rip! Recording a band takes a little more copper.
