Yes, that's what I mean.
I don't know how good the Boss leads are, it's possible that 
Roland/Boss would simply source the cheapest they could get.
I've not had problems with
http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?TabID=1&criteria=PATCH%20cables%206&ModuleNo=31246&doy=20m7
but then I'm running at line level for all my patching.

I make my own leads from studio quality cable (as used for mics) 
which gives me more confidence that the cables are good enough. 
StudioSpares is good for buying online.

There's also a chance that the jack plugs, or the jack sockets have 
become tarnished, and could do with a clean.
