Title: PRIMOVA - GK-13 - Codesmart's Excellent GK 13 pin Cables
Post by: 2pods on December 31, 2014, 10:50:57 AM
Just wanted to say Codesmart's hex cables are great, as is his service.

I ordered two 2m cables, and had them very quickly (even though it was Christmas !), from Sweden to Scotland.

Thanks Codesmart

Thank you 2pods.

I've got some requests for shorter patch cables than 1 meter so in abt. two weeks I will be able to offer 0.5 meter high quality Roland compatible Gold plated GK cables.
During the last 2 years I've shipped at least 150 Cables. NOT A SINGLE COMPLAINT OR RETURN!!!
The maker of the cables is really serious about QA.

GKMX-C05 0.5 meter (NEW!) (1.6 ft)    $11USD
GKMX-C1 1 meter  (3.3ft)                    $13USD
GKMX-C2 2 meter  (6.6 ft)                   $20USD

Low cost shipping everywhere. 1-year warranty.

I don't make a fortune out of these cables. I'm happy providing great stuff at a decent price to the V-community.
Email sound@primova.se if interested.

Remember: The shorter patch cable(s) you use, the better you sound.

- For loooooonger instrument cables than 2 meter, buy Gittler or Roland  ;D
- And for greeeeaaaat GK connectors contact Gumbo for his Synth Linx solutions  ;D

I now have 0.5m, 1m and 2 meter in stock.

And due the improving US economy the USD price is lower:
$11,$12 and $18

Quality is great on the cables - thank you

Note Roland do not supply their short cables (that ship with US-20) as a spare, so as far as I have seen this is the only place you can get short 13pin cables

Appreciated

Hey guys,
The 13-pin cable is dead, Hell yah, long live the 13-pin cable!!!

I'm sold out on longer cables, and I'll order some more from my great manufacturer.
What is YOUR preferred length?   2,3,4 or 5 meters?

5 meters.
Can you sell also only 13 pin connectors ?
I would make a cable with 13 pin on one side and a jack 1/4 on the other side so I can use gr55 guitar input (Pin 7 if I remember right) with all electric guitars.
Thanks

No I don't sell connectors. I only have complete cables produced in Asia by a small factory delivering the outmost quality.
Of abt. 500 cables these guys have shipped me over the last years, only one has been faulty. It's amazing. Soldering such cable yourself is tricky stuff. I've tried it and gave up after a couple. The professional cable makers got special tools and skills. I'm waiting a response about my latest request for an order.

I'm producing a limited number of gold plated 13-pin cables in varying lengths.
So far I've been shipping out 420 units of these great cables since 2013 (mostly bundled with my boxes).

Since I'm out travelling most of December and January we'll probably looking at February for delivery.

Regarding the 3m/5m longer cables I'm just producing a few, and If you wish to get in line for a cable
please send an e-mail to sound@primova.se and I'll put you on the waiting list and contact you in due order as soon I can ship.

Here's the preliminary V-Guitar forums pricing without shipping cost (and without VAT 25% if inside EU).
0.5m/1.6ft  Straight-Straight   $10USD
1m/3.3ft     Straight-Straight   $12USD
3m/10ft      Straight-Straight   $19USD
3m/10ft      Straight-Angled     $19USD
5m/17ft      Straight-Straight   $26USD
5m/17ft      Straight-Angled     $26USD

Shipping cost varies with weight and number of cables, normally I ship as cheap as possible in a padded envelope (I'd guess postage is about 5-10 bucks for a cable).
Regarding the angled connector it's all new to me, but I made a few cables because I've been receiving requests for it.

I don't know how tricky it is to change the angle since I haven't seen them yet. I assume it's not like 1-2-3-Done.
I think I ordered them cable-going-right if locking is down, as seen from Guitarist.

I'm not sure if I'm parsing that correctly.  Let me rephrase my question:  If I plug the right-angle end into a GP-10, does the cable dress left or right as I look down from playing position?

Then I'd say I pray it's going to the right side looking at the GP-10 from above (reading the display properly with volume pedal at the right side).
Because that was the intended direction...

QuoteDoes the Angled connector fit into a GK-3?

Typically no -

due to the GK-3 female GK 13 pin jack being recessed
(https://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.in2guitar.com%2Froland%2Fcontrol.jpg&hash=ba59aa13face46d2e9aa10c47abb6c4ca9e4578a)


FWIW - same hurdle as the Gittler right angle GK 13 pin cable  - that will not fit a GK-3 either.

UNLESS, you put the right-angled end into something else and use the straight end into your guitar...   ;)

Great cable - clean audio - no scratches or pops from movement - right angle is a real winner - it lighter than roland cable & feels well made

Happy customer (again)

The contacts work great. Pretty rock solid if I may say so.

Looks like I have to produce more cables soon.
Especially the 3 meter straight-angle version has been very popular.
Not much feedback here, but I guess the cables are behaving...

Of course I want feedback even if it's good or bad. That's the only way to influence things.

Q: Is there a need also for Angled-Angled version?

Current prices:
3 meter = 19 USD (+postage)
5 meter = 26 USD (+postage)

My 3m Angle-Straight cable works great.  But, it would be good if your supplier can find rubber jacketed cable to work with.  I'd gladly pay a bit more to have a cable that lies flat without kinking. 

My only "problem" with the cable is of my own making.  My GP-10 is mounted on a rack shelf and clearance is tight around the 13-pin connector.  It's very difficult to get a grip on the sliding part of the strain relief to get it out once plugged in.  I'll probably end up snipping off the detent tab.

Thanks Steve, that is useful information. I also find it a but stiffer than Roland cable. But on the other hand these are silent. All my three 5 meter Roland cables crackles. 
I take your input into consideration.

I can say from my own experience, that these are very good cables.
My Roland ones used to give me grief, with noise from movement and erratic pin connections.

Codesmart's cables now give me a reliable GK system without the worry of string drop-outs like I had before (at the worst possible moment).

If you are lucky, Codesmart may even deliver it personally..   ;D

p.s. If you do consider rubber jacketed cable for the future, please add me to the list

I got my 5m cables yesterday.
Finally got to plug in this afternoon.

Excellent quality cables at a fantastic price.

Robert is great to work with, and they arrived form Sweden very quickly.
like ffata said, I highly recommend them.

Due to USPS took 28 days to deliver a letter with cables, and I re-sent a new delivery, there's two 10ft Straight-Angled gold plated GK cables in NY that could be yours for $19 each plus domestic US postage.

Anyone interested? PM me.

How to change angle of GK angled connector.

If someone wish to change the angle of the angled connector of Primovasound GK angled cables, here's a PDF on how to do it.
It's not easy but it can be done if a bit handy.

I now have a lot of great Straight-Straight cables: 0.5, 1.0, 3.0 and 5.0 meter available.
I use the 1 meter and 5 meter myself in all rehearsal and live situations for the GP-10 and GR-55.
Delivered many, many hundreds the last 4 years. No worries. Rock solid at a great price.

However no Straight-Angled at this time.
There's been some issues with some of these (ground crackling noise when twisting the cable) and now evaluating the 2:nd generation using stainless steel soldering.
I'll be back on this subject when evaluated the new design approach...

If you can, buy 2.
Codesmart's cables are great quality, but if something happens on stage, or something else kills your cable, it's best to have a good backup available. You can't just run out to guitar center for a replacement.

For the price, it's worth the peace of mind.

One of the worst and most common things to kill your cable is when you unplug it after (or god forbid before) a gig,
and before you can pick it up, someone steps on the 13 pin plug and crushes it.

Buy  2.  ;)

Grab the "ring" surrounding the angled connector. When pulling, the ring moves and unlocks the thing.

Hi Robert,
I tested your cables.
Excellent quality indeed!!!
Thank you very much.
Couldn't be happier :)


Anyways, if to make short/patch ANGLED-ANGLED GK cables (0.5m or 1.0m), how would you like the direction of the angles?
Of course 90 deg (suitable for GR-55, GP-10, cable goes to the right) in one end, but how about the other end?  Same 90deg(cable goes right) or -90deg (cable goes left) in the other end?

Title: Re: PRIMOVA - GK-13 - Codesmart's Excellent GK 13 pin Cables
Post by: GuitarBuilder on September 15, 2018, 01:10:21 PM
I use the GKPX-14 to distribute four 13-pin signals and it can only accommodate one angled connector direction (up).  Therefore a left or right angled cable would not work.

I would like to see two types of patch cables:

a) Both angled connectors in the same plane (zero degrees), with the cable in "up" direction when plugged in

b) Angled connectors at 90 degrees clockwise apart when viewed from the pin end.  In other words, one end with the cable in the "up" direction, the other with the cable to right when viewing from the front of the synth case (pointing away from the box)

Robert - how do you define the angles?  As looking from the cable end?

I've been reading this thread with great interest, having just recently got back into the VG stuff after many years off..

I remember the issues with the original Roland cables, so I'm looking forward to getting an order placed for a 5m S-A cable, which will go perfectly with the internal GK kit I'm having fitted to an Ibanez RG570!

I've sent off an email, so I shall wait patiently for further instructions!
Title: Re: PRIMOVA - GK-13 - Codesmart's Excellent GK 13 pin Cables
Post by: DaveTheBear on May 25, 2019, 06:10:04 AM
Well, that was pretty quick!

My 5m GK cable with the right angled connector has arrived. I'd had an email earlier this week confirming that my order was on the way, and fortunately my newly GK'd guitar had just returned from the workshop the day before...

I'd ordered a cheapo 13pin cable off Ebay before I spotted this thread, so I had a cable to use (and it never hurts to have a spare!)... I remembered the original Roland cables had been quite thick and unwieldy and the cheap one was certainly not as high quality as the OEM cable, but this new cable I've received from Robert is a revelation!

For starters, the cable is considerably thinner than the other two, but the real magic is that right angled plug! I had a similar head-scratching moment as I figured out the unlocking ring, but it just feels so much more secure, and with the obvious strain relief and neater appearance in use. Plus I'm less concerned about accidentally catching the plug and cable on something and damaging either the guitar or the cable in the process.

So, overall I'm a very happy customer!

The service has been top notch and the ordering process has been effortless from start to finish...

Great cables and great customer service! Highly recommended.

Cheers Richard!

Dave.

Thank You!
Not always superfast in response, varies with duties allocated by War Department but still I've managed to ship out 1200+ pcs GK cables since 2013 (with just a very few glitches) so they can't be too bad. ;D

Still driving an Volvo so I guess these cables will never get me into a Ford Mustang deal.
However, I could actually afford renting one for a day in Hawaii a few months ago.

And yes... I really like a Ford Mustang better than a Fender Mustang.

As you can see from the plates it was in the state of Hawaii (for one day only). I put the GK-3 on the exhaust pipe, but unfortunately it melted down...

Hi there,

I'm after a 5m cable with (I THINK) one plug angled at '90 deg' and one plug angled at '270 deg'

I wish to plug the '90 deg' plug in my GP10 with the lead running away from the 1/4" jacks next to the 13 pin one, as in your pics, and the other '270 deg' facing upwards to my strap knob on my left handed guitar, so as to cable tie it to my strap knob for strength, as in one of the pics attached.

Do you have one in stock this configuration, or will it be a custom made one from the chap in the US to go to you in your next delivery?

My guitar is (was) an Ibanez RG370 heavily modded, repainted and extensively routed out to accommodate the 'fit it yourself' GK-3 pickup and gubbins.

I see you are in Sweden. I am in the Canary Islands. A couple of stupid questions... Will I be paying € for it, and will it be shipped from you to me or from the US to me?

Hopefully you are still doing them.

Cheers!

My angle cable just arrived. Thanks Robert. Excellent quality.
I had a moment of frustration when having plugged it in to the GC-1, it didn't want to come out. I think the sliding grip ring was rather stiff on mine. I finally figured out that if I press the back of the plug in while pulling the grip ring out, it slides up and allowed me to gently remove the plug. You probably could just pull hard on the grip ring and it would come away eventually, but I didn't want to risk that as I didn't know how it worked. Anyhow I suggest anyone ordering one should play with this ring and see how it works before plugging it in, so then it will be easy.
Thanks for the cable.
Cheers,
mczero
P.S. I was just reminded by my mate Gumbo that 2 weeks ago he told me:
"just practice operating the release mechanism a few times BEFORE you plug it into the Strat...they can be a bit stiff when new, and a pain to get the hang of..they ease up quickly though." Gulp! I forgot.
Does SA stand for Smart Ar5e or South Australia? I can never figure that out. ;)

First try cleaning the GK cable pins, and the 13 pin sockets of guitar and GR-55, with a small spray of "deOxit" contact cleaner.

Primova GK cables are highly recommended ad more reliable than the Roland oes.

I was setting up levels for my Bass today and I noticed levels when the cable was disconnected from the bass!.....out of curiosity grabbed one of primovas and nothing! (the way it should be)

The first cable I think was a roland too! I noticed it picking up noise from the AC cable as well

So another thumbs up primova!!

I'm about to order production of a new bunch of cables.
¿Any special 13 pin requests outside what I normally stock?
So let's hear it now...

I wonder what happens in Chicago at USPS...
I sent it over a month ago, finally it arrived in this condition. Shame on you USPS!
Doesn't it stand for Unbelievably Shoddy Parcel Service?

Primova Angled cable into 5-String Fourness Fuse 13-pin electric violin.

Waiting to hear how the special GKFX-1 tuned for violin into GR-55 will work out. :P

I wanted to check out the Primovasound website but my av software is warning me something is wrong with the certificate and is risky. Is the site still running?

Yes, but there's currently a problem with an outdated https certificate. Check again in a few days.

Cooking more cables in production stew using the same recipe since 2013. I haven't had a complaint in many years.
Makes me wonder. Are they really immortal?

(No, I know one person stepped on it while plugged to the guitar jack and it sure got ripped apart, so yes the lifetime can be shortened)

So, feedback time, tell us your story, has any of your Primova cables gone bad?
If so why and how?

My first PRIMOVA GK cable is still running with no problems, I also have a Roland GK cable I keep as a backup in my gig kit.
Tested the Roland cable last week, as it hadn't been checked for a couple of years, and it was terribly noisy...AARRRRGGGHH !!

Tossed aside the Roland cable, and packed in my last PRIMOVA spare as a backup,
 not worried about the GK cable failing, more if someone stands on the plug end before I plug it in.

I've had mine for a few years without a problem. Very solid product. I even bought a couple of spares that I've never had to use. I tested them when I received them, and they have been in the box ever since.

Ordered one about a week ago. Looking forward to getting it. It's an angled one for the GP-10.

I have about five of them at different length. No issues with any of them. All my Roland cables do have issues and I never use them anymore.

One of my long cables is rumbly, but I don't know how long I've had it. It's been quite a while since I purchased cables from you, I think.... My impressions remain positive. I am not easy on the cables because I now have a small pile of cables from you, and I'm not worried.

Also, we must consider that the jack, possibly filthy in my damp southeast USA climate, needs cleaning again. Since I play the VG-99, I am unwilling to clean that jack often. Feels risky. The rumble might be that. It is summer here.

Just found myself with a handful of 0.5m angled 90/270 degrees short cables if anyone needs a tight pedalboard. 90=going to the right, 270=going to the left. Also these cables can be modded to go 180 degrees (downwards). Just let me know at sound@primova.se

I'm currently talking to my cable factory to see if they have time helping us out with patch-length (1.0 meter) TSR A2B cables for the GKC-AD units.

Cool, but I think a third of a meter (1 ft) would be better

Yes maybe you're right. Or 1.5ft (0.5m). If it's shorter some people people with 2-tier pedalboards and wants to hide the converter underneath somewhere could be in trouble.

Yes, definitely a shorter cable to hook DA converter with SY-1000!

FYI: I'm producing a new batch of my GK-cables and have added a new configuration "1 meter Straight-Angled(90 deg)".
As always I may modify the standard angle 90 to 0,180,270 on request.
