    D'Addario DIY Solderless Custom Cable Kit, 40 feet, 10 plugs

    • The connections seem extremely solid and durable.
    • I have had no problems with first attempts at making a good connection using only the included mini-cutters.
    • And if you do need to make adjustments just loosen the screw and turn the plug - the connection is non-destructive
    • As opposed to soldering, the connection is essentially a touching of the cable and the plug
    • I have used other kits that can result in spotty connections
    • I chose this (after considering George L's) because of the reviews here that suggested that the Planet Waves didn't require re-cutting cable ends when a connection at first wasn't solid.
    • The problem is that a secure connection isn't always guaranteed, and I ended up with more dead cables than ones that I had a signal running through
    • A VERY tiny bit of thread-lock on the screw will help it stay in place, but too much may interfere with getting a good connection between the screw and the body of the connector
    • No connection issues
    • I created enough cables to use all the heads, and I only had a bad connection for one of them
    • That means that both connections inside the connector were solid and will pass a signal without any loss
    • hard to make good connections
    • Very easy to cut and get a solid connection
    • I've used these solderless cables before and I have to say that I am pleased that they provide great connections on my pedal board
    • We always say, if its not a good mechanical connection its not a good electrical connection.
