Hi DasBeef

I belive Right Foot Boss (RFB) is collecting these.

And also going for the "Most J-5's ever collected in one place award"
No seriously, if I remember correctly. he is building a massive stereo pedalboard with them.

These things are pretty rare. I can only remember seeing one other J-5 on all of evilBay...

Are they just a box with wires conecting all the hot contacts of the jacks? ie there's no resistors or anything in there is there?

Hi natthu
Correct-a-mundo.

1 in - 4 out with nothing but PCB tracks between all the sockets.

I can't even imagine what this would do to the impedance of the devices connected to them.

Internal Picture:
And Bossarea posted some internal pics on page-7 of a J-5,
in the "Pedal Internals" thread.

That always happens to me... I'll be looking for a particular pedal, and nothing for months, then all of a sudden 2 or 3 pop up at the same time

From what you can see in the internal pictures it doesn't have electronics inside! Funny!

Yup massive stereo peadal board. I'm still a ways out on that.

Complete overkill.

Another J-5 is always welcome.
