Jack plugs

hotpickups

I'm looking to make some patch cables. Can anyone suggest a good right angled jack plug and where to buy them from online etc?

Thanks

Lava Cable do some nice kits (I've just ordered some), I think their jacks are usually Switchcraft? http://www.lavacable.com/

Kabl?

Great but too pricey though

Is there an electronics supplier anywhere near to you? There's one located not too far from me, and I buy all my plugs and stuff from him.

I discovered that if you buy more than a dozen, the price comes down and it's possible to get a load of right-angle jacks for a little over a pound each.

this makes for very cheap patch leads (particularly if you recycle an old guitar lead!). It's worth checking your locale, plus it helps small traders.

Try Rob Davies as mentioned above (kabl) got 5 custom made cables from him, still going strong

Neutriks from Maplin. A bit bulky for a pedal board, but very reliable

Yes I thought of them too. In fact it's to attach a pedal from off the board to the board. So shouldn't be a problem . Thanks

Doctor Tweek had a great deal on a month or so back which he might still have going.

I use Kabl for pre-made, Bullet Slugs for solderless kit. Both excellent

Ok so I've literally just got two Lava 229 kits (unopened) going spare as I got them mixed up with a different set so I'm moving them on rather than retunring them to the US!

• £30 for a standard kit (5' mini ELC, 10 jacks + heatshrink, cable stripper)
  
• £35 for a 6-pack kit (10' mini ELC, 12 jacks + heatshrink, cable stripper)
  

Or £60 for both kits to your door. 

First dibs to @hotpickups as it's his thread.

So tempted guitargeek62 but think I'm ok fir the time being. I would've snapped them up a month or two ago when I was doing my whole board etc.

Probably regret saying no

No problem at all, I'll pop them in the classifieds

Def use Rob at Kabl.
I've had loads from him and he's always superb.
For my board he used his new pancake plugs and evidence monorail. Perfect.
I ordered 2 mic cables online on Sunday and they arrived today.
Fantastic service.
