Shielded Wire Question

Hey Guys,

I really want to find a good shielded wire for some projects I'm working on. One of them happens to be a cornish board type thing.

Will this stuff work for all the pedals and the board?

Is there anything else that helps to stop interference?
What about stopping radio interference? Like on those wah pedals when you get like the local stations, how to stop that?

Thanks.

  Probably work fine except it's solid core, and steel...looks hard to work with and not particularly well suited to stompbox/effect/guitar cable usages, I think stranded core and copper braid would be easier to work with and better results...

Is there anything else that helps to stop interference?
  Yes...try a bit of resistance in series with input, small cap to ground...

  Above methods, ferrite beads'll do it but I never figured out which ones.

  Shielded wah enclosure, better cables to connect it, above suggestions..
Convention creates following, following creates convention.

Hi pete,
What values are they? Is it cap+resistor together at the input or resistor then cap to ground? orWill they change the the tone?
Thanks.
