So I’m upgrading all my patch cables because Wayne was making fun of my pride month rainbow 🌈 colored patch cables that I bought on a retarded deal of the day. I tried some Amazon basics patch cables and they were pretty dang nice. Much better than my dadddumdidarreeeooo gay pride patch cables. Well I plugged in tons of stuff and I noticed occasionally on the rainbow cables my effects were not going through and coming out. Totally crazy. 🤪 it’s happened numerous times with the colored cables. With pedals and my ms3. Cables test fine on the meter. It’s nuts. Have no clue what is happening. Anyone experienced this before?

I friggin hate patch cables. I have the stupid solderless things, and they sound great when working right, but can go south if the wind blows hard. You can hear right away when something isn't right, as the levels are different. It just loses a lot of the everything, but the pedal will still push it through. I've had bad cables, where it was a wimpy connection to a pedal, but the pedal buffer moved that wimpy signal through the chain. Maybe you have something like that going on, where it's barely enough to drive the effect. :dunno:

Continuity….

I'd also check resistance. Sometimes a shoddy connection passes continuity because it's below the meter's threshold, however it still reads way higher than it should. One of the old jacks on my 4104 was like that. It beeps, but checking resistance it's all over the place, most of the time somewhere north of 40 Ω. New jacks read a fraction of an ohm.
