I know there´s a lot of patch threads, but I thought this was a more specific question.
I´m in the process of making a patch for my foogers and a CP-251 is the next one to get. But I´m not sure whether I will include it in the patch. What are your experience of patching or general use of the CP-251?
Here´s my pros and cons of including the CP-251 in the patch:
- The patch i already got is not 1/4" but one with smaller dimensions (see picture), and so it´s less expensive to use that one than buying a new one. And I would have to make cables with plugs that fit the patch on one side and 1/4" on the other to go into the CP-251.
- Also the patch panel is one where you solder the connections and therefore I can buy 1/4" cables and cut them in half, which will also cut the cable costs in half since I then don´t need 1/4"-plugs that go into the patch as most 1/4"-patch panels seems to demand.
- I will need 12 1/4"-cables to connect the 251 to the patch which will add almost 10% to the price of the CP-251
- It might be annoying having all plugs in so I don´t see labels that easy or they might be in the way when tweaking
