Ghost by Graph Tech Model # 0540-00 13 Pin Inputjack W/Traktion Switch

Mostly solved the problem

After 5+ years of my Ghost Hexpander system I started getting lots of horrible noise whenever the 13 pin cable would move. I kept thinking the cable was going bad and kept buying new cables--not cheap. It turns out it was the output jack, which the tech at Graphtech told me can get damaged over time. Boy howdy! It was easy to switch out the output jack, though I still get a tiny bit of noise with cable movement. I can't help wondering if this is going to be an ongoing issue where I'll have to change the ouput jack every 4 or 5 years. At $65 a pop that could add up.

13-pin Jack

Works great; I had to replace the unit on a guitar that I'd set up with an internal hexaphonic rig a few years ago; the original had worn out to the point where the cable wouldn't lock into the jack anymore. This one's good and tight like it's supposed to be.

Great
