Sheilded cable locations

Post by guitbuilder » Tue May 22, 2007 3:48 pm

Hi all....I have been lerking at the sidelines for a while now and have started populating a board for a 2204. I have been looking at alot of pictures whenever I can and it seems to me that many folks don't use sheilded cable from the hi input to V1 or the various pathways from the low input to the pre-amp volume. I wonder if I am just not seeing things right or do you not need the sheilded cable? Billy's layout seems not to have it, but other designs out there do. What would you recommend?

Regards

Brian

You can just get the stuff George has in the store, I think. I don't even know the size of what I used for mine...already had it lying around...it's 2-conductor shielded..20 or 22awg...I think teflon-coated.
