stevetdunn Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Hi folks, I use a Diago PowerStation to power my effects pedals. I'm thinking of refining pedals and just wondered if anyone knew where to get rubber caps for unused male barrels? I know a bit of insulation tape will do the trick, just wanted something a bit "tidier". Saw [url="http://www.godlyke.com/power-all/godlyke-power-all-accessories/insulator-caps-for-daisy-chain"]these [/url]from the States, but haven't sourced anything for the UK. Any ideas?

Thunderbird Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I have also been looking for these they seem really hard to get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubsonicSimpleton Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 What about just drilling some 5.5mm holes into a bit of wood/plastic/rubber then plugging the unused connectors into it - saves cleaning the sticky adhesive that insulating tape leaves behind at a later date, and much faster/cheaper than mail ordering those caps from the states.

JapanAxe Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Wickes sell pre-cut lengths of electrical cable that have soft plastic caps over the ends to stop people stabbing themselves on them and then calling AmbulanceChasers4U. Sometimes these might fall on the floor... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevetdunn Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Thanks BassNut62 - will give them a call. And thanks Subsonic Simpleton - an eminently sensible suggestion :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikegatward Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Surely the best solution is to buy another pedal (or 2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 My solution is to cut an inch or so off some twin and earth mains cable, remove the conductors and use the outer sleeve as a 'boot' to slip over the unused connector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Why not just order a daisy chain with the correct number of connectors from OBBM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westie9 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 How about cutting down a felt tip pen cap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneyg42 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Old thread, bumping in self interest! Got this problem now with unused ends, anyone found a uk based solution? Only seem to find stateside shops selling Godlyke caps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I've just checked and the outer that I cut from Sommer LLX cable and throw away slips nicely over a 2.1mm plug. If you are passing anytime Colin you can have a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linear Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I use heatshrink tubing for this. Cut off a 1 cm length, place on jack so it's halfway on, shrink with heat source, Couple of quid for a lifetime supply, and it comes in bright colours.
