Reviews around quality (5.00 of 5)

  • If you want reliability and good sound quality, this kit can deliver
  • I haven't noticed these being any noisier than factory cables, so quality seems good.
  • The materials felt well made, I hate buying cheap cables but this was good quality
  • Cables & connectors are top quality and the solderless system couldn't be easier to use...much easier than George L.
  • There is tons of flexibility with these and they are a good quality

Reviews around product (5.00 of 5)

  • Other places charge up to twice as much for this kit, but if you can get it inexpensively I feel its a great product and worth the cost.
  • Great product though! Seems to retain the signal very well as far as I can tell.
  • Excellent product that is very easy to use and quick to implement.
  • Again, great product if you don't ever plan on moving your pedal board around.
  • This is kind of a niche product I think as you would need to have a use for the tips included, but if you do this is a solid product.

Reviews around angle (5.00 of 5)

  • Simple to cut cable and install either right angle or straight plugs with one screw to tighten...and your done!
  • I bought this kit because to make straight-to-right-angle connectors for a pedalboard
  • I make frequent use of right angle phone plugs due to the limited space behind my mixing board
  • Regardless, these are as good as or better than the George L cables I bought years ago, some of which I'm still using
  • This package includes 40 feet of quality audio coax, six right angle plugs, and four straight plugs, giving you a lot of options

Reviews around solution (5.00 of 5)

  • This is, by far, the easiest solderless wiring solution I have ever used
  • Just the right solution for custom length guirar cables as well as for making your own cables for pedal boards
  • I've lost count of the number of times I need a specific cable on short notice - this is the perfect solution
  • Bottom Line: I wish they would have included some straight plugs to bypass the alignment issue, but this is a great solution for people who don't like excessive cable cluttering their setups - whether for signal optimization or just appearance.

Reviews around system (5.00 of 5)

  • Cables & connectors are top quality and the solderless system couldn't be easier to use...much easier than George L.
  • Very cool system
  • This system is very easy to use and great if you are putting together a pedal board that will sit in your room and never move

Reviews around end (5.00 of 5)

  • I'm giving this four stars because a few more ends would have been fair to include at this price
  • The ends on this new kit are more compact, which works on a board
  • Problem is there are not enough ends for 50 ft of cable and extra ends are hard to find especially the right angle ones and they are over 8 bucks a pop!

Reviews around time (5.00 of 5)

  • After 2 or 3 you'll stop making mistakes and they'll all work the first time
  • I am not opposed to soldering cables--I do it all the time
  • A couple of things to note: As usual when cutting anything to size, take your time to measure a couple of times and I would recommend that you leave a bit of “wiggle room” (about an inch for close pedals and three inches for pedals that are larger and have odd in/out connections like in the back or front etc) this will allow you to move your pedals around as you organize them (specially while using Velcro)

Reviews around length (3.44 of 5)

  • The length of a guitarist signal chain determines tone loss more than buffered stomp boxes do
  • These cables are perfect for setting that up and provide the perfect customized length
  • Most of the time, I end up having to velcro something to the right length, then it's a pain to have to deal with the extra
  • I have about 18 pedals on my board, and while this kit won't cover all those connections, what it does do is provide those tricky lengths from one section of my board to another
  • With 40 feet of cable, you can make cables that are just the right length

Reviews around plug (3.34 of 5)

  • might get a funky plug here and there, I bought 4 kits in all, of those I had 4 bad plugs (which were replaced by D'Addario merely on my
  • One complaint about the actual product: the straight plugs are not secure
  • The kit comes with a tool for cutting the cables, and for attaching the proper plugs
  • I like the mix of angled and straight plugs, but some may prefer more straight plugs.
  • I especially like the inclusion of both straight and angled plugs - very handy

Reviews around connection (3.22 of 5)

  • 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
  • I have had no problems with first attempts at making a good connection using only the included mini-cutters.
  • 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.
  • As opposed to soldering, the connection is essentially a touching of the cable and the plug
  • I created enough cables to use all the heads, and I only had a bad connection for one of them

Reviews around cable (3.17 of 5)

  • These solderless cable kits make making cables a lot easier with no loss in performance
  • The cables seem durable too, though it is hard to tell how long they will last

Reviews around kit (3.15 of 5)

  • It would be nice if you could get just the cable and connectors you need for the same price as the kit, but I guess that is why the kit is cheaper than buying separately.
  • Other than that, I love this kit and look forward to making more cables, and buying supplies to keep going after the kit runs out
  • So, unless this kit solves your problem completely, this is a really expensive option
  • Very versatile kit with 40 feet of quality cable, 10 solder less plugs, and tools for cutting the cable and attaching the plugs
  • I easily recommend this kit to anyone wanting custom length cables, or as a backup to anyone not wanting a session cut short due to a broken cable.
