Pedal Switcher guys: What jacks?

[dfrattaroli]

I'm laying out my board. Here's a pic. Because of the size of my switcher (Musicomlab 62M), I can't drop the cables under the board. So what short, straight 1/4" TS connectors are you guys using? I'm considering moving the 62M forward and a bit off the edge of the PT so that I can get the cables under the board. Not sure though.

Nice layout. Switchcraft 380 has a shorter barrel (1 inch)

I do like the Switchcraft 380's but for what it is worth they don't have a strain relief. If you pull on the cable (which you shouldn't do) you are pulling directly on the solder joints. I switch my pedals around often and was lucky I never had to fix anything.

If you don't switch things around I'm sure the 380's will be fine especially because of the 1 inch barrell. I ended of going with some run of the mill redco jacks on the switcher and pancake jacks on the pedal. Obviously you can go with disaster plugs/george l/ lava but you're going to pay for it.

I've got a ton of quality connectors and cable so for much of it, I'm good. I think I'm going to need those 380s though. This will be my first "good" board. Recently picked up the 62M, 5150 OD and today, the Petrucci Wah arrived. I don't think I'm going to skimp on the connectors. Should only need 10 or so for the 62M side of things.
