I`m planning a new pedalboard also using an ES-5, and i was having lots of doubts on wich plugs i should get. This was exactly what i was looking for. Great video.
They do look real small. This video talks about the advantages of using straight plugs (stubby type to be specific) on your switcher side when your pancake plugs (whichever you decide to use) aren't the best application. This video was also released in 2018. I believe the boss pancakes weren't around at the time. Thanks for watching!
@@AlphatoneAudio Sorry it wasn't a critique to your nice video, just an add on for people looking for these issues when there is little space on a pedalboard (me a few weeks ago). Cheers
@@PM-yz8fx All good. Your comment wasn't taken as a critique. Just adding to the information in the thread. Thanks for pointing out the Boss Plugs. Cheers to you as well!
This is a very informative video, thanks! But are there stubby plugs in TRS? I have a switcher where all the stereo connections are in TRS jacks that would need TRS plugs and I'd like stubby.
Thanks! There is supposed to be a TRS version of the SPS4 coming, but no word yet. Until then there are good right angle options if they fit your switcher. th-cam.com/video/yrOhZxFyHtc/w-d-xo.html
Thanks! SPS5 can handle a max cable diameter of 0.23" (5.8mm). 2524 should fit, but will be snug. You can always go with 2319 which is a great alternative with a lot less bulk.
Here in Europe I cannot find all this connectors... It is a pity. Anyway I can find the 380 Switchcraft but is says it is a PHONE connector... It is safe to use on guitar equipment? why for phone and not universal...¿?
Phone connector is just a generic term for any 1/4" plug. An ancient bit of history that no longer means anything. For sure, a Switchcraft 380 is an audio plug.

Glad I could help.
The BOSS BCP-4 pancake is the smallest on the market @ 13.6mm wide and 7.8mm thick
