Daddario PW-P047B

I purchased a handful of these connectors while I was in the process of stripping down my pedalboard to the essentials - the first reason was to reduce the amount of cabling and make everything as stable as possible, the second to allow a comfortable distance between the pedals (I have pretty large feet).

These Planet Waves connectors are really well-made, sturdy and elegant. I'm not entirely sure (could just be my mind telling me this) but I also think they made the sound a bit better overall. Even if they didn't, the result is in no way sonically inferior to that of patch cables.

One other thing worth mentioning is that rigid pedal connectors are subject to the problem that the pedals' jack sockets are not 100% straight, as almost all pedals have slightly slanted walls. This means that connecting multiple pedals using even Z-shaped (offset) connectors results in some pedals not sitting flat on the board, placing strain on the jack sockets. But because these connectors have a very wide middle section (pretty much the only complaint anyone else seems to have about them), they compensate for this slight angle, at least with the pedals that I have (TC Electronic tuner, Dunlop wah, Maxon OD808, MXR Micro Chorus and Boss Delay). They won't work with mini-size pedals like the MXR Phase 95 Mini because the jack sockets are TOO slanted, but with full-size pedals, they're great.

I'm totally happy with these connectors on my board and I will definitely be keeping them.

As with every Planet Waves product I own, the build quality is great. However, the central part of the connector is very big and bulky. It is not a good choice for space-saving in a pedalboard. Also, the rigid structure limits the types of pedals you can connect without compromising the organization of your board.
I have not returned the product because of the quality. I can still use it to connect some drive pedals to my multiFX for headphone practice
But I cannot use it for my intended purpose: saving space in my pedalboard.
So I cannot recommend this product, there are better alternatives for space saving.

This adapter has proven to be though and seems to be onbreakable. It has solid housing, and after many plug-unplug operations it is unharmed. Of course, this is not a complex electronical engineering masterpiece but a simple connector and has "nothing to break", but I've seen other this design adapters which have had poor plugs with tips coming loose very soon. Maybe it is a little lenghty and leaves a little more space between the pedals than some adapters, but some people doesn't mind that, some people do. Anyway, I recommend it as it is solid, although in case of bad signal (which I don't think will ever occur) it cannot be opened for re-soldering. If the tip gets loose, it couldn't be repaired anyway. I doubt that one too.

...then this might be the solution for you. I own a relatively small board with quite a few effect pedals and always had trouble with the cable management. There are cheaper jack connectors on the market but they usually have problems connecting effect pedals from different manufacturers (as the jacks often don't have the same hight) or doesn't seem to be build very well.
Another important point for me was that with not using cables anymore there won't be any danger of cable break - a nightmare if happening live on stage. In the meantime I'm using 5 of these little helpers and never have been happier with my board - recommended!

Such a brilliantly simple idea, I wish I had thought of it.
These fantastic little connections allow you to connect pedals together without having to drape wires all over your board.
As these are the angled ones, they will even work when conncting pedals where the input and outputs are at different levels, see my other reviews for the straight ones!
The usual high quality Planet Waves construction, with gold (plated) jack plugs and a 'durable polymer overmould' which is a tough plastic casing with grippable sides for easy unplugging.
Sounds great too - it doesn't add anything or colour the sound of your pedals at all which is exactly what you want from a connector!

A great addition to any pedalboard.

This connector has fantastic built quality and looks like it will last forever. The plastic part is very durable and the jacks are gold plated and firmly attached. It has a lifetime guarantee, which is quite reassuring. Although it is more expensive than similar products, the quality seems to justify the price.

The only possible negative attribute that I can find is that the space it leaves between pedals is rather large, at nearly 5 cm. Other connectors such as the Mooer Z only leave 2.5 to 3 cm,while the sssnake pedal adapter leaves even less. This may not sound like much if you have lots of space, but if your pedalboard is rather crowded and space is an issue, you may want to try something different. With another connector, it may be possible to save enough space to fit another pedal on your pedalboard. Otherwise it is a great product and I would recommend it very highly.
