    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    Kit Contents:
    - 10 records jack neutrik gold
    - 3m cable (from memory)
    - 1 mini cutters
    So 5 patch cables (12 € / piece)

    Cables patches that can be cut to the desired length to perfect his pedalboard.
    The implementation is a breeze: the desired length is chosen, cut with the side cutter provided and is driven into the male connector jacks. Then you shake the single fastener with a small screwdriver and it's done.
    Visually it's pretty and exudes quality.
    Warning: This solderless kit is ONLY create patches cables, not instruments jacks 2m! Technically it is possible but it will not be all shot. It is designed for connecting a pedal attached to initially pedalboard!

    In terms of sound quality is impeccable, no loss in the high frequencies, midrange and bass; unlike the yellow cables and others I have had in troubleshooting before.
    To sum up, this kit is not cheap, but helps to make the desired patch cables for his pedalboard custom Personal length. Given the time seems right, I bought 3 kits over 2 years and no problems reported.
    A good alternative for those who can not weld, for those who do not want to complicate things. I redid this choice to even 2x growing my pedalboard, but if I had to do a full pedalboard, I think I would do my patches single cable with a soldering iron. It is certainly pleased tedious, but the bill is divided by 2 to see 3!
    Excellent product.

    Unbeatable value for money

    I use these patches for nearly 4 years now.
    I had yellow cables (low-end), the Vovox (high end), and not surprisingly the Planet Waves is located between the two with an excellent sound quality / strength / price.
    The overall sound is balanced, and I've never had to complain of crunches.
    However, be careful taken away from the 230V power cable: Cable Planet Waves (like any other) easily transplanted 50Hz and can induce a small buzzing unpleasant.
    The connectors are a bit big though especially compared to switchcraft (which is a model of its kind) and the pedals too tight against it may easily scratch their paint because the connections are metallic coating (happened to me), but we c…

    The connectors are a bit big though especially compared to switchcraft (which is a model of its kind) and the pedals too tight against it may easily scratch their paint because the connections are metallic coating (happened to me), but we console with the ability to put that straight or angled connectors as needed allow many adaptations (he is still a long cable so every time I buy straight connectors to the unit over what I allows more patches).
    For guitarists who make and remake their pedalboard is incredible saves time because it is very easy to change the lengths of the patches.
    Once we understand how it works (moisten the top coating of the cable so that it slides easily, well then push the cable by turning slightly to help to make the connection and tighten the screw anti- tearing) it is impossible to miss a connection.
    It seems that Petrucci uses his to wire rack (I did not check myself), but no matter: I bought 4 kits and I am very satisfied!
    I remake this choice with your eyes closed.

    A "must have" for his pedalboard

    * For how long have you been using it?
    About 1 week.

    * What thing do you like most/least about it?
    Pros:
    Ease of Use
    Product quality and audio quality
    Minimum:
    The cutter not super mega handy if you have big paws but nothing discriminatory nor
    The fact that the product can not be declined in several ranges with prices declining ... For example, I bought it only to make patches for my PB and I find myself with 1.50m of cable do I use (for now) nothing. Too bad there is not a real pack Pedalboard ", with fewer bases and more cable jacks.

    * Did you try many other models before getting this one?

    * Did you try many other models before getting this one?
    No, no, level kit cables / patch-it-yourself and seamless, there are at Lava Cable, George L's, and Core. This one seemed good prices and feedback, plus it comes with 10 phone jacks, while the George L's are sold with only 8 bases.

    * What is your opinion about the value for the price?
    Good to very good. We will see the longevity of patches and manufactured. For those who would doubt the kit is more financially attractive than buying (5 Patch € between 10 € and 15 meter cable, short, one gains a big ten euros).

    * Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
    In principle yes, without hesitation.

    I put 9 / 10, there is little to say about the product itself. It's just a shame that manufacturers like Planet Waves does not develop more products in this range.

    Pedal Board for a rational and optimized with quality cabling, jacks too bulky the Pedal Board Kit from Planet Waves (10 right-angle connectors) is an excellent product with a nice look. No welds to be done, an ingenious jack connector assembly as easy for a kid of 5 years as a handyman Sunday. The ideal is to buy Planet Waves tester to validate the assembly which nevertheless is altogether more reliable. But this will be useful utensil for all your cables.

Unable to find the product other than Thomann, even my local dealer does not just order them, so 10 € euros port to add to the price according to income levels and one other may seem exorbitant or correct. It is always a good quality product is ultimately never really given too much for services rendered, reliability and durability while a low-end product is often very expensive as quickly broken unreliable ...
    I have since purchased another kit that contains 4 Planet Waves straight connectors and 6 right-angle connectors and is equally excellent. And if necessary I will buy its products again.
