the 1/8" to 1/4" issue ...

so all volcas need a cable that goes from 1/8" to 1/4" if you're going to interface with a regular mixer or any fx processing.
what do you do? did you just chop off the end of a stereo minijack cable and solder a 1/4" jack to the other end as mono? and make as many of these as you need? - easiest solution maybe.
- is there an opportunity here to make this mono cable balanced? -
adapters are a pain: do you want a mini-to-mono adapter on the end of each cable? (stereo minijack cables are the easiest to come across) - presumably this would achieve the same result as soldering both signal lines to the tip of a 1/4" mono jack ? -
had a slightly illogical idea of making a little box with 1/8" on input side, and
1/4" on the other, as a patchbay, but it doesn't make any sense, just a load of cables for nothing.
