Title: Does anyone know what these are called + where to buy them?
Post by: Brow on August 04, 2006, 06:26:50 PM

Hey guys.

For when my pedalboard is finished, I'm looking at using some specific connectors for the pedals which I recall my ex guitar teacher using.

They look like 2 1/4inch jack plugs (like on guitar leads) but they're just connected to each other, no cable involved.

Does anyone happen to know what they're called, where I could get some from and (most importantly) if they even exist in the first place or have I just made them up!  :roll:

The closest I have seen Craig is the patch cables-a small length of cord with a jack on either end. I have a bunch of them I use for various situations.

I've seen 'em.  You might be able to get them at an electronics store.  Dunno what they're called.  Male-to-male 1/4 inch adaptors?

Hi Craig, you need a switchcraft 363 coupler, $6.99 at Musicians Friend:

or the Planet Waves model:

or this which offsets them a bit:

Hi guys.

Thanx for the replies.

Thanx for proving I'm not going mad in my old age  :lol:

Phil, those are the things I'm remembering, but unfortunately Musicians Friend don't ship to the UK. So I'm currently keeping my eyes open in UK based shops.

Atleast I have more info to search with now.

Thanx again.

The Planet Waves connectors are also available on eBay:

eBay's great for guitar parts, because it's so easy to search for specific items.

I would go for the Neutrik ones on Ebay.  Do a search for 'neutrik akk'.  They're only £2.75 + are one of the best names in adapters/connectors.
