Does anyone know what these are called + where to buy them?

[Brow]

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 :laugh2:

never seen that before.
You mean like two plugs connected and to put pedals right beside each other?
That'd be weird. I wouldn't really like them so close.

You can also buy them with a slight offset if your pedal configuration requires it. I bought them at my local music store - the brand was Hosa.

I used them before I built my pedal board thinking they should be sturdy. I was kind of surpised when I was breaking down one day and one them came apart. Maybe it's just Hosa.

I use GeorgeL connectors now.

You're not imagining it Craig - I've seen those offset ones.

offset connector

I would look at these offset ones, because the straight ones are good only if the jacks are at exactly the same height off the floor.

Thanx for the tip

That was 1 aspect of it that I hadn't taken into account.

I feel your pain. Sometimes trying to find exactly what cable I want is also impossible, or so it seems, because no one calls them by their "proper" name. But congratulations at finding it!

As soon as several people in this thread linked me to examples of what I'm looking for, it gave me more search ideas so I was able to track down a few suppliers here in the UK

After all the searching, my local guitar shop sells them but just doesn't have them on display, so I never knew! :smack:
