franzbassist Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Looking to use these on my new board and not sure which to go for. Any suggestions? They'll be coming out of the back of a Boss MS-3, and ideally I'd like them to have the cable routed straight down out of the jack socket, so the size of the plastic jack casing is important. Anyone tried both? Edited November 13, 2020 by franzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 The EBS ones seem slighty more sturdy but there's not much in it. Both suffer from the same issue of having poor shielding around the plugs though, so in certain rooms they can be a major contributor to noise. I went back to cables with full metal plugs, as I had too much buzzing practicing at home with a dimmer switch on in the room with the flat cables. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliveT Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I've been using the EBS flat cables for about 18 months now with no issues. I also use the EBS flat daisy chain as I use 2 MXR pedals and the flat right angle plugs mean you can still place them close together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Can't answer I'm afraid as I've not used the Rockboard ones. I can say EBS are expensive but very good. Space saving and reliable. Best bang for buck I've used are branded Donner, but the plugs are a little bulkier than EBS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stofferson Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Got the rockboard flat heads on my board and the ebs ones for my trs routing where needed, both are pretty solid and do the job with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
