livingbasshead Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'm putting a pedal board together and found these adaptors [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_adapter_bodeneffekte_gerade.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_adapter_bodeneffekte_gerade.htm[/url] I'm wondering how these things would compare with a good patch cable as there's no cable to worry about in terms of signal quality? Obviously there are other issues, such as pedals being too close together etc, but does anyone use these? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBassBob Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 As far as I know the consensus on these is that there isn't a drop in signal quality but even when using them with pedals that have jacks perfectly in-line with each other, they can place unnecessary strain on the jacks when you step on the pedals (this is obviously far worse if the pedals are off-centre with each other).

Wil Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'd imagine they'd be fine if you're connecting pedals of the same brand together (so the input/output are all in exactly the same place) and the pedals are solidly mounted to a pedalboard, otherwise when you stomp on them I expect there's a risk of that thing breaking.

bakerster135 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Diago patch factory. They're great, very low profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can sometimes pick up batches used on eBay though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
