Smallest Sleekest Flattest (Cheapest) Patch Cable or Plug

[PaulThePlug]

Need a couple of minimalist patch cables for a Micro Pedal Board... thinking of a small bit of wood 100mm x 200mm... maybe lozenge shaped or oval with recesses for the pedals...

Got an Iron-man Chorus to go in between the two below...

really nice and subtle... none of the bubble 'n drown gurgle...

Pancake plugs drop below the pedal edge...

Would this sort of thing work?

^ i had a few of those years upon years back... most FX boxes are not straight sided so can cause breaks to jacks and circuit boards...

If only there was one simular with a UJ type flexi middle...

Found some low profile ones - if you're willing to do your own soldering.

I use these on my RockBoard - they're ace. Available in 10cm length for tight spaces:

There's an interesting YouTube video about how those are the work of the devil, and I think it was well argued.

I was going to suggest these. Nice and thin and they seem to last, I've been using them for a few years.

I use the flat EBS ones. They are tiny!

awful things. Avoid at all costs.

I use these ones from amazon: https://amzn.to/46GBVFa currently £13 for six.

 

Although they're cheap and I've reconfigured my board a few times, I've never had any issues with them.

Thanks all...

@mcnach those look sleek, but a little put off by the length of the tab by the jack... the joyo pedals are diddy, and the jack sockets low.

@Jean-Luc Pickguard those look great for my need, minimal around the actual jack sleeve... short and slim.

Now got to find a 3 daisy chain with angled 9v connectors...

I happen to have one of those Joyo Orange Juice pedals, so I checked. When vertical, the end of the cable is exactly at the same level as the floor of the pedal, so it can be used but it would not be a great fit as you can't rotate it. Best using one of the others 👍
