Someone has lent me a drum machine to play around with and it has no leads...It's a Boss DR 202 - it looks like it has Midi Outputs and another set of leads that you can run from it (With L&R on the connectors) I'm not sure what leads I should buy/ask for to I can hook it up to a PA in stereo so I can jam over some loops. Any ideas. I'm a bit of a cabbage when it comes to leads/technical things like this?!?
Any ideas?

Are they small RCA plugs? Haven't worked with too many drum machines, but most equipment I've seen has 1 of the following 3 types of audio connectors: XLR, 1/4" or RCA.
If it is something weird, Radio Shack sometimes has the components to piece together weird adapters. Sometimes they actually have someone in there who knows a bit more than how to check out an item, and they can offer some help. But that phenomenon seems to be getting more and more rare!
Good luck!

Cheers Ed, I have sen 1/4" mentioned on the net so I'm guess as you too mention it that's the one. I'll try and have a word with someone in store - I just needed some idea...I know what a jack to jack is and that's about it.
:p

Just noticed you are in the UK, so 1/4" is in some old measurement system we use here inthe States..."English" is it called?
In metric that 6.35 mm, and I'm not sure you have Radio Shack stroes over the small pond...
1/4" plugs are the same size as the output jacks on a guitar or bass...but again, I'm not sure if European models get modified with different plugs.
