Hi,
I own a BCB-3 pedalboard and I�d like to connect the three pedals with a 1/4" to 1/4" straight adapter. The problem is that the space between the pedals is limited (about 3cm). I thought about this Planet Waves adapter: http://store.daddario.com/category/146562/14%26quot%3B_to_14%26quot%3B_Straight.
Do you think this adapter will fit? If not, what kind of other adapter can you recommend?
Thanks
Marco

Warum m�chtest du Adapter benutzen? Ich nehme immer Kabel. Nimm von der Firma Schulz die Patchkabel PC-3 und werde damit gl�cklich! Oder wird das auch zu eng?

Why do you want to use adapters? I always take cable.
Take from the company, the Schulz Patchkabel PC-3 and was therefore happy!
Or is that also too narrow?

Why do you want to use straight adaptors? I always use cables. Use Schulz PC-3's and you'll be happy! Or is there also not enough space for these?

Just use short-flexible patch cables with angled jacks.
Pedals will move about, and so need a flexible connection between them. |

I'm not a fan of those straight adapters either, I kicked one in two once.   |

Hi Folks,
I�m convinced now, I�ll grab the flexible patch cable, there�s enough space for it (altough I still think that the straight ones look better...).
Thanks
Marco

Hi again,
PepeMusic uses the Schulz PC-3 cables. What other 15cm patch cables are recommended? The jacks of the Planet Waves cable seems to be a little bit to big for my BCB-3 pedalbaord. So need a patch cable that will fit, it should be flexible enough (ofter a problem of patch cables) and the cable should be high qualitiy (the price is not the problem).
Marco

| What Christo said. I tried some straight adapters in my BCB-3 and instantly noticed by BD-2's output jack was slightly lower than the input on my CE-5. As a result my BD-2 never seemed to be firmly seated in the pedalboard. I'm sure over time that may have put stress on either of the pedal's jacks or even broke an adapter. I use good quality patch cables between the pedals. May not look quite as neat as adapters but I don't worry about jacks or adapters breaking on me. |

pricey but nicey..
George L's right angle plugs and the .155 cable.
 Butted together, they give about 2cm clearance between pedals (iirc). |

Wow, they look thin, but I've heard they are gig worthy. I use Radio Shack 1 ft. Jumpers. They used to come in a 5 pack for about $12. Now they're singles at $3.99. They're sturdy and inexpensive. |

Hey Marco!
Awesome screen name. I also love The Cure. My favorite band.
The back cover of Bloodflowers was my avatar around here for a while.
I have dedicated my left shoulder (tattoos) to my admiration for the band.
So...
What pedals a do you have in your BCB-3? |

They do...when you buy new. Sometimes if you buy used the patch cables may not be included.
Anyway, these patch cables are okay, but an upgrade is definitely recommended. |

the BCB-3 is the old version of the BCB-30 and the cables are/were not included.
