Re: Roland GK cable noise issue

[van Sinn <vansinn@post.cybercity.dk>]

I don't know too much about the GK system, but I'm thinking..

You have an ordinary guitar cable, which of course is shielded, with the 
shield connected to ground/chassis on your rig (whatever that is).
The shield is also (assumed) connected to ground on you guitar.

Then you have this GK cable, which is said to have crappy shielding.
Maybe, maybe not, but I assume it actually does have a shield, which is 
hopefully connected to ground/chassis on the (GK) device, plus, I assume, 
connected to ground on your guitar, which could easily create a ground-loop.

Even if your GK cable isn't connected to ground on your guitar - is this one 
of those stand-alone, between-bridge-and-pickup hex MIDI/synth transducers? - 
it could well be that if the GK cable in itself has less optimal (shielding) 
quality, a ground-loop elsewhere in your rig setup could still amplify 
whatever noice is picked-up, and create the experienced problem.

If the problem really is the GK cable itself, couldn't you simply replace the 
multicore cable between the two bulky connectors with a better shielded one?
