Benefit is nice quality, low profile, less bulky than the round type....
Shock....no idea!

The round ones sometimes don't fit side by side if the jacks are close

honestly, I've lost sleep over this

This is almost making me want to get a proper pedalboard on the go again

the thinner van damme cable? It's great for patch leads, v flexible.

made up 4 leads this evening, came out pretty nicely. expensive jacks though! the straight ones from squareplug are good too.

As far as I can recall these don't work very well with some loop switchers. I believe the Boss ES5 and ES8 amongst others.

You would use the straight jacks for the looper end of the cable, ie these:

Yes I've seen those. But those aren't pancake. Just clarifying the OP.

Yeah, pancakes are bad with most loopers - the sockets are generally too close together. I used Lava solderless with my G2 when I had one as they're nice and compact. Never had problems with them.

Yeah me too. I like the Lava ones more than the George L's ones.
