  • The Squareplug SP550-S pancake 1/4” TRS plugs are a great way to save space on your pedalboard. They simply go where other plugs can’t because of their size. Great for TRS MIDI and expression pedals. In this video, I do a simple assembly to show you how I build cables using these plugs, and give you as many tips as I can to make them rock solid.

    Ur vids are well done and u do quality work. Vid idea for u. I plan to do this myself, but id love to see some1 more experienced tackle it. 2 cheap behringer overdrive or dist pedals converted into a single stereo pedal. Probably cool for reamping but really i just want it for stereo outputs of my drum machine or synths.

      Thanks for the kind words. Lots of DIY pedal channel here on TH-cam if you want to see more kit building.

    What cable would you recommend when creating an insert cable with the sp550-s?

      Looks like some people have had success with Mogami 2528, but I haven't tried it myself. See this thread: www.rjmmusic.com/forum/index.php?threads/please-recommend-plug-and-cable-for-making-trs-patch-cables.3972/

    What kind of mogami cables do you use? Is it ok to use mogami 2549?

      Mogami 2552 is a perfect fit

    Why do you choose to put the ground wire underneath the terminal, touching the housing?

    • @AlphatoneAudio
      @AlphatoneAudio  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Efficiency, mostly! The ground/sleeve is already touching the housing because of how the part is designed, so slipping the ground lead under the tab is the quickest way I've found to get a clean solder joint without slowing down my workflow. I think of soldering as a two-rule process: Rule #1- if something's not supposed to be touching, make sure it's not touching. Rule #2- if something's supposed to be touching, make sure it's touching. In this case, it doesn't matter if the ground lead touches the housing, so fast and clean work matters more than slipping the lead through the pinhole or keeping it isolated on the tab.
      Thanks for asking!

      @@jasonthompson5140 The only other reason could arguably be duplicity, but that's debatable and probably a marginal benefit, if even applicable. Mostly, it's just quick and consistent for me.
