I posted a while back about some custom stage looms like the one below where all of our drummers mics run back to the mixer in one mesh-covered snake with heat shrunk splits and custom labels on each end.
The reason I'm posting in the pedal board area is that we were approached about making some custom looms between guitar pedal boards and amps. From pedalboard to amp, effects send from loop and then back to the return, add in a cable for channel switch. Power from the backline up to power the pedal board.
Of course, all of this stuff is custom so the cable can be as long or short as needed, anything from 4, 5, 6, 8, 12... how ever many breakouts as one might need, MIDI, TRS, include vocal mic or stage monitor, whatever.
What would you look for in a custom stage loom like this? The supplies aren't cheap but we're using high end shielded cabling, Neutrik connectors, but ultimately is cheaper than a stage full of separate cables and ends up being faster and cleaner to set up and tear down each night.
Thoughts? Any crazy connections that you think we'll run into that we haven't thought of yet?
Looking forward to your discussion on this.
