Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Tightrope, Studio or Premium? And why would you choose to not solder your patch cables? (Can't solder is not a reason.)

My only experience was with the soldered versions, but I believe the non-soldered ones are great too, but I too prefer the safety factor from soldering them up :)

Agree. I got a Lava cable kit from Matt with G&H plugs. I like soldering. Sunday is soldering day.

Plugs are too big for my board. :(

I buy from CE Distribution along with many other parts.
Freight cost from USA could be a sticking point for small package.

The Jaycar ones are very low quality & will fail easily if they plugged in and out a lot. Pedal boards would be the best use for them.
Epiphone Riviera P93 & EJ200CE, Hagstrom Viking Bass, Doubleneck bass/guitar.
Rivera Clubster 45, Carvin AG100D, Ashton BSK158.

Although listed as RS branded, most of the plugs I have bought from here tend to be neutrik or rean, anyway https://nz.rs-online.com/mobile/p/jack- ... s/5489177/

Plus free freight.

Id buy these though

I have a bunch of those; they're excellent but they waste too much space on a pedalboard.
