Members nos Posted March 2, 2010 Members Share Posted March 2, 2010 Jacks are the holes that you plug into. So I'm assuming you mean plugs/connectors.In which case:http://www.redco.com/shopexd.asp?id=1312It don't get much cheaper than that, especially if it's Neutrik.

Members ALoserNamedAron Posted March 2, 2010 Members Share Posted March 2, 2010 Here are what I settled on for my board and my guitar to board cable. I got the normal right angle plug and they actually surprised me. It was a killer deal, $25 or so with shipping for about 25. http://www.futurlec.com/Audio-65mm.shtml I haven't had one break on me yet but I probably wouldn't gig with them(well maybe if I brought a hundred with me and had doubles of all my cables). Make sure to get a few extra cause you might have to get used to soldering them. I was gonna go the G&H route but they were like 2.50-3.50 each. This let me recable my board and not get in trouble with the girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, these GLS pankaces are really great. Best price/quality I have second 20-pack on the way now Here is the picture: These are pretty much similar build quality to Switchcraft plugs and shouldn't be mistaken with these really cheap and thin plugs. They are really bad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty Belle Posted March 3, 2010 Members Share Posted March 3, 2010 Jacks are the holes that you plug into.. Jacks are both what you plug into and what you use to plug in. There is female jacks and male jacks. Pedals have jacks and so do guitar cables. BTW dont buy cheap {censored} jacks, buy switchcraft or you will only have to keep repairing them as cheap ones break easily. They dont break on the outside but rather on the inside. As Anderer said, use these: (this is a stereo one but you get the idea) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
