Members Goominim Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 Why do pedal designers put the plugs on the sides when you can fit more pedals on your board if the plugs are on the top? What are the pros and cons of having the plugs on the sides of the pedal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpectralJulian Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 I'd probably prefer all connections to be on the top, but as it is, they are on the sides on a lot of my pedals. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DADGADammit Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 yeah i hate them on the sides too, but i think its easier for the pedal builders to put them on the side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often look at the pedalboard thread and weap at the inefficiency. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members only_shallow Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 i like it. I guess its that its easier for them to up them on the side (cause the knobs are up on the top as well and it makes it look better if it was on the sides. If it wouldve been on the top it would look like something from blade runner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members justintee Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 well, some pedals have pcb mounted pots, and because of switch location they're up top. leaving the sides for the jacks.. but that wouldn't explain everything.

Members melx Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 strangly on almost every pedal I own the jacks are on the top...being either Electro Harmonix, guyatone, Ibanez 10 series. the only one that isn't is my crybaby.

Members tocs100 Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 With hair-plugs, you wanna start on the top, 'cause you can comb them over to the side. The side can wait 'til last. Wait, what...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
