This connector is amazing! it is well built and save so much space on the pedalboard. Yes, you can use a short flat patch cable with similar results but this connector leaves no excess cable to mess up and cross-talk with power cables, etc.
The ability to slide makes it easy to connect two pedals with lateral jacks even from different makers, angles, or heights. Contrary to the other options I tried which only solve the problem in specific conditions.
If I compare it to the Planet Waves connector (please see my review on this product) I would say it is probably less robust but it is more versatile and takes way less space than the PW which is very bulky.
pros:
- extreme versatile connector
- good quality
- space saver
cons:
- It is not really any cons but I have to mention that besides the apparent good quality, I am not sure how robust the connector is if you keep changing pedals and heights of the slider. So far so good!
