    Hi all,

    I'm buying a Zoom acoustic effects pedal.

    There's an XLR output on the back.....I need go buy an XLR cable for it.

    Could someone point me in the right direction on Thomann.

    There's a load of XLR cables and I dont know what one I need :s

    Thanks!

    Well, do you have a PA/Amp with an XLR input?

    I do ya - Dynacord Powermate.

    Just need to know is it a standard mix lead I need to use or is there a special type of XLR lead to connect DI boxes/pedals to the deck.

    Nah DI's take your bog standard XLR but it's kinda strange that your pedal has an XLR output? Does it have a jack output too? And a desk can take either jack or XLR

    Hi Paddy,

    Ya it has a jack output aswell.

    It's basically a Zoom acoustic multi fx ....it can be used as a DI box if you use the XLR output.

    Thanks for the help ....I wasn't sure if there was a special XLR lead I needed - there was loads on Thomann!
