Using colored shrink tubing or colored electrical tape you could at least color code the jacks at either end. This is helpful.

The ones that all electronics sells are better (and pretty cheap 90cents if you bur more than 10), but no color coding. I wish they came in a few colors. I went there on Peter's reccomendation. The noisbug cables are pretty flimsy, but at least they're color coded.

I recently purchased my first full "set" of plan b modules...they came with seriously sub-
standard patch cords. (colored from noisebug.)

Peter, don't let them sell this junk with your modules!

I'm spoiled from the buchla 1/8 switchcraft.

From the archives, I see that peter had the buchla rep in, and they were very expensive. Plan
B should seriously reconsider. The patch cords I was sold from noisebug are junk. There is
a noticeable difference in VOLUME / CONTACT using the switchcraft "buchla" 1/8.
From a visual (i don't have a micrometer, it looks like the diameter of the switchcraft 1/8 are
larger than the "noisebug"cords.

Does anyone have a source for the "grey" with colored "head" buchla style 1/8 switchcraft on
the net? (besides b&a) I would like to order some in bulk. (and you should too!)

Thanks!
