Really, I wish pedal companies would stop putting the 9V jack anywhere near any other jacks on the pedals. My regular Planet Waves cables are high-profile and so the right-angle connector clears the power jack, but this design also sticks out too far and takes up unnecessary pedalboard space. This causes any right-angled connector to hit the power connection and put stress on it. I would have to post a picture to explain what I'm talking about, but basically L-shaped cable ends cause cabling problems for me.Īnother issue with right-angled connectors is with pedals like MXR where the 9V jack is (stupidly) placed REALLY close to the input or output jack. I think these Lava cables will solve problems like that, because it removes the entire bottom "right-angle" part of the connector from the equation. With my Strymon Timeline, for example, a right-angled connector plugged into the input and going to the output of a pedal next to the Strymon is awkward to route to that pedal because the connector sticks out too far. This type of connector doesn't work well with pedals that have input/output jacks on the top. My main issue with the cables I currently have is really the right-angled connector. Thanks, but I ended up ordering a Lava Tightrope cable kit. What are some good inexpensive patch cables with connectors that don't stick out too far or get in the way of things like power connectors?

I don't like cables that have these giant right-angled connectors.
