Rockboard MOD 2 V2 Midi & USB Patchbay

Very tidy little device to clear up the clutter on your Rockboard. I recently bought a RockBoard after many years using my own custom made board. I wanted to streamline my effects and moved to an HX stomp in replacement of my drives, delay, reverb, eq, phaser and compressor.

I have been using a 4 cable method for years in the analog domain with a Joyo PXL Pro switcher so already built my own patch box to get rid of cables going everywhere. I could have carried on using it, but the added feature of the IEC through means I can now mount both PSU's and MXR brick under the board with use of an IEC split out Y cable and some IEC to plug socket. It also integrates seamlessly and just makes the whole set up look really professional!

Nice concept, but seems like some corners were cut.
On the unit I received, there are a few problems.
1) The TRS jacks are intermittent and I don't think I can trust them in a live situation.
2) the power socket and the midi ports feel very cheap (wiggly/loose) and I doubt they will take more than 50 plug/unplugs
3) DC jack is VERY intermittent, basically un-useable. The slightest touch to the DC cable will cut and reconnect power rapidly
4) There is noticeable "tone suck" from this patchbay.

I really wish I had just built my own patch bay out of higher quality components. I guess I probably will considering the effect the MOD2 has on the sound.

It takes a lot for me to give a negative review... It is too bad, because it looks great and definitely makes stage/rehearsal set up faster.
