Anyone know where I can get guitar cables with a 1/4 inch jack on one end and an XLR on the other? I need a a couple of these for my Eventide H3000 D/SE Harmonizer... one of the cables I got with the unit is now damaged and I'm under pressure to get a replacement ASAP for upcoming studio session. The only problem with the H3000 line is they only take XLR in and out.... no 1/4 inch plugs!!!
Not sure if this is the right forum to post in but it is a rack unit... Any suggestions would be appreciated!
 
Scratch that, i just changed my search criteria and found a bunch of them...

Make sure to change the little clip on the circuit board inside your H3000 to run at -10 instead of +4....otherwise you will need some direct boxes/line x-formers inline to prevent signal gremlins :)
 
Unless you are running it in an amp's effects loop, which will probably be at line level.

If you get balanced 1/4" cables, you may have to solder the tip and sleeve together, if your loop is unbalanced.

That should be RING and sleeve....that will tie ground and negative together....if you tie tip to sleeve you will be shorting out your signal lead to ground.
