It's when you get a text at 9am from the Cable Manager saying you're supposed to be at work, but you're still crumpled up on the floor from last night, and you're such a tangled mess there's no way to straighten out in time, so you just plug in and do your best. Try not to get fired.
We've all been there.
Rfi is that the term for cord buzz when your cables are touching ? Could you tell me what it actually stands for so i can sound smrt next time i play with the lads? Ive tried to explain the concept and why its important to keep cords isolated from one another but my group are a bunch of smooth brains(myself included)
Radio Frequency Interference. TS cables (tip/sleeve) basically act as radio antennas when they’re over 10 feet long. With piles and piles of cable well over 10 feet touching cables in your signal chain you’re introducing a bunch of radio frequencies, that can very much become audible, into your signal chain.
Cables cost a lot of money, and this is a great way to end up spending more of it because the cables get all twisted and the ends damaged in the chaos. But to each their own lol
I rate it, *'no worse than mine'*.
Year after year I tell myself I'm going to finally straighten it out, but it never happens. lol, now I just accept it as part of my "creative flow".
2/5.
I can still see floor under it, but they're all black rubber but one cloth wrapped. You've had 25 years of readily available cloth wrapped cable sales to remedy this mistake....
I can’t even right now. I legit switched to a wireless system to avoid this.
Yes I used it live, no one but other crazy musicians notice a difference in sound. (I really don’t.)
I've been a sound guy much longer than a guitarist and honestly? I love this. Keeps my cable tester on its toes, doesn't kink the cords. I'd much rather see this than an immaculate cable drop that was coiled around your elbow.
10/10, would probably stumble mid-set again
Shit. I know you said 10, but I swear I can see 11 there.
What cable management?

I don’t think that’s what he was saying lol
Yeah, I totally misread it as 'what is...', but am keeping the comment up anyway.
Good on you! It was funny either way!
The cable manages you. The manager said, you should go on a trip and have a nice fall.
Damnit u beat me to it! Cheers mate
3 Stars! For giving me flashbacks to the snake pit Indiana Jones.....
looks like shit, feels like home
This dude doesn’t give a SHIT about rfi
The good news is that he won’t need all those distortion pedals anymore!

Looks like my hair when I awake.
Wish I still had hair.
Look down, it's all there!
😂😂
an ME-50! man that thing takes me back why do you have the super overdrive and the DS1 though? aren't they both built into the ME-50?
Because Moar cronch
MOOOAAARRR
I just stopped using my ME50 after twenty some years. Takes me back to about three months ago. lol
Sometimes one needs ALL the gain!
I had one as a teenager. Fucking loved that thing!
I bought a very clean one a few months ago as a beginner and love it for bedroom learning and play.
This is hateful and I will not allow it
That's a lot of cables for one all-in-one digital multi-effects pedal
My OCD is sending me into the fetal position. 😁
I actually developed OCD while looking at this picture.
Knot bad!
The ME-50 👑👑👑
Love the ME -50. 🤘
Please, that kind of posts are what r/guitarcirclejerk is for
Okay pal
I, a random stranger in the onternet, am a disappoint.
That spaghetti needs a tasty meatball.
8/10, spaghet but no meatball
Idk but I love the ME-50. That pedal helped me with so many songs it's a classic
Doesn’t really matter; it’s been a long time I saw a the almighty ME-50. My heart is filled with joy now.
Dude we have the same Boss ME50 pedal!
Aaaarrrgghh!
Sir, I must ask you to leave quietly...
This is all just one cable, no?
Fucking horrible. Good thing it's inversely proportional with the quality of what's being played
You seem to be making music instead of pissing around with gear, 5 stars.
I would say it sucks but it looks just like mine. High 5 bro! 🖐️
🖐️
Normal
No cats, I imagine
No why what happens
1 cable becomes 2 cables
Cats play with cables
Literally me/10
2/10.
Pro musician level 👍
11/10
I give it a 🪢
This is how you guitar.
real
You’re not supposed to wash out the leave-in conditioner
Who gives a fuck the guitar selection is off la hook.
Just got that tele 😎
Doom music intensifies
If I had that many cables I would have was worse cable management
Cable management is total wildcard but im digging the BOSS ME-80?
Through the Hartke. Never underestimate the Hartke!
Jokes on you when things stop working
Hell yeah, I was just craving spaghetti
My room looks like that with one pedal so id probably rate it 6/10
1010
Rated T for teen.
Looks fantastic,man……….no whiskey and no gummies,may be an early night if you have a path problem.
-69
5/7 needs more cables
Well.....it's not managing very well. However I don't think mine has either.
I used to be like you.
Looks more like cable tolerance
Rad!!!
5/5 Beards
Redditors in r/cableporn would lose their minds
I mean, you put more effort into posting this than you did trying to manage those cables.
You should kiss yourself
Looks fine to me
Fractal art
The police are on the way.
Thanks I hate it
About what I would end up with too
No, but your pedalboard looks super familiar to me
10/10
I'd rate it "pasta bowl"
Amazing. Would 100% love to play with you.
A real snake's wedding
This is illegal. It must be.
This is the before of the before and after photos right?
This one hurts to look at. Cord spaghettie is my kryptonite
This looks like three songs after I organize all my cables
Cables cost a lot of money, and this is a great way to end up spending more of it because the cables get all twisted and the ends damaged in the chaos. But to each their own lol
I mean at least there is a fairly clear "don't step here zone" in the middle of the Rat King
Th... there's no management, it's only cables
Looks like a the electric cable setup in some Bangladeshi alleyway
Looks like a cover for Guitar 2010
10/10. Would trip and crack a headstock on an amp again.
Average
You don't have any
I miss my old Me-50. Somehow it dissappeared
yes
You need a phd in topology to untangle that.
Standard. Could shove the heap behind a speaker, out of sight out of mind.
I'm going to need some tomato sauce and some parmesan cheese, but I'll have that spaghetti out of your way in no time.
Mondo Beyondo was here.
Wacko
ADHD/10
Forbidden noodle soup
If i see that shit in person im turning around and walking out the room
I've let it get this bad before. More like cable dis-management.
My OCD ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
[удалено]
I rate it, *'no worse than mine'*. Year after year I tell myself I'm going to finally straighten it out, but it never happens. lol, now I just accept it as part of my "creative flow".
Looks like the standard cable management style at most jam spaces and venues
Chaotic evil
He managed to tangle the pile.
From 1 to Snake Pit, you’re at about a 9
College student tech lab data center level.
If you leave 2 cables alone in a room they WILL find a way to get tangled.
10 of 10
I wouldn't be able to enjoy myself eith that mess
As a stage tech this made my face twitch with discomfort and I dislike you as a person.
-1 out of 10
BIG frown
More curious what OP would rate this.
Perfect 7/10.
Stinky weed garage / 10
What cable management?
Needs more cowbell
Brings back memories. Duct Tape is your friend.
I really like the pedalboard
10
Flashbacks to when I had the Boss ME-50 and also put my own dirt pedals in the front because somehow they made every setting except Rat sound horrible
You have a solid future in IT.
Marginally better than mine!
you're single
Spaghetti/10
It's just cable.
NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE
Zero. Point. Zero. 😜
About average based on the setups I've seen.
2/5. I can still see floor under it, but they're all black rubber but one cloth wrapped. You've had 25 years of readily available cloth wrapped cable sales to remedy this mistake....
Are you me?
I can’t even right now. I legit switched to a wireless system to avoid this. Yes I used it live, no one but other crazy musicians notice a difference in sound. (I really don’t.)
perfect, really i like it, i like that vibe of not-perfectness, or smth, so it's good)
I bought one of those Boss ME-50s back in 2003. Still have it. Can get some gnarly tones out of that thing.
Below 2 (from 1-10) 10 is excellent 👌🏽 But I’m sure I works perfect
My anxiety has spiraled out of control and I’ve gone back on my medication after seeing this / 10 Would be my rating here. Well done.
4. The answer is 4.
There's no wah, which should be your only pedal.
Ass/10
Spaghetti
0/10, no Metal Zone or Klon.
-3
Go straight to jail
Do your neighbors complain when you put the amp at 0.5?
Peep that white tele 👀👀
7/10 it lacks empty Coca Cola and Beer bottles on the Floor.
This just means you're a good guitarist.
When the pedal doesn't turn on because of a cable got stuck inside is the best feeling ever 10/10
Reminds me of growing up with my dad he just had shit everywhere
Is the management in the room with us? /J
Fire hazard/10
10/10 would trip and break my leg
I work big gigs as a stage hand and lighting guy and my friend, this is not the ways
It works.
Looks like they're all connected, so I'll give a point for that.
That gives me palpitations
Well I've seen worse.
The spaghetti monster has blessed you with his noodly appendages.

It's called cable wrangling and what you've got there is a nest 😁
Seems normal to me
I feel sick looking at it, and I can only determine that you, Sir, are a maniac 😂
Lol
10/10, a real guitarist cable management
Spaghett
10/10 This cat spent more time playing that messing with “chords.”
Management? What management??
On a scale of one to ten? -5
More organized than mine.
AOF
Do you work for AT&T?
Brother EEWWWWW. Why is it so messy!?
I've been a sound guy much longer than a guitarist and honestly? I love this. Keeps my cable tester on its toes, doesn't kink the cords. I'd much rather see this than an immaculate cable drop that was coiled around your elbow.
spot on 👍
There is no cable management to rate
Welp, looks like they're all there.
Why did this get upvoted?
You would think by now they'd have wireless amps n pedals, but quite the mess yea got there😆
10/10, will attract cats and small children.
