It's hilarious to me that guitarists will sneer at things like quick connect clips inside of amps - instead demanding all hand wired construction with soldered eyelet boards. And they'll also want to make sure every connection inside their guitar is soldered and secure. But for your pedal patch cables? Get that nasty tone sucking solder out of here! I want my signal entirely reliant on friction screw down connection!-

So it's interesting you mention this, as Solder is not a mechanical connection metal to metal of course -its a transitional substrate making a connection between the 2 conductors. High end mechanical connections are actually better if they are certain standard (Wire Wrap on a post being the best, with Punch down somewhere behind) and a mechanical connection then soldered is likely the best overall. My criticism of mechanical connections like screw downs you see in guitar patch systems is the they are tension based in one vector (unlike a wire wrap system or punch down) and much like a Molex capture will fail overtime without a secondary system or maintenence. So if your up for retensioning and checking on occasion -they make a great option -and Im sure they are getting better all of the time.
