S/PDIF and Guitar Multi-Effects Processors

Has anyone had success using the S/PDIF digital output on a multi-effects processor?

I’ve tried a few different digital audio cables, and each appears to achieve different results. All cables were purchased on Amazon.

  • Mogami 2064 (75 ohm)
  • Amazon Basics (110 ohm)
  • C2G 29116 Velocity (75 ohm)
  • Standard RCA (75 ohm)

The Mogami cable was expensive ($50), but it appears to deliver the best results. The others were all relatively inexpensive.

EDIT: The experience with the EnoAudio Mogami cable ended up being disastrous.

I’m using a Focusrite Saffire Pro audio interface. My understanding is that you need to set your interface to sync with your S/PDIF source.

I’ve experimented with a Line 6 Pod X3 Live, and a Boss GT-8. I appear to get the best results from the GT-8.
