These jacks are pretty much perfect for my build! The way the plug is designed allows for cables to be run spaced super close to each other, allowing me to space pedals so much closer together. They also allow me to make full use of my multifx by being able to plug into multiple jacks which are right next to each other without worrying about clamping forces or damaging the pedal or cable. They are quite easy to solder as well, since there is a layer of paper to prevent shorts between Tip and ground. I found it was a bit difficult to tin the housing, so for some I wedged some ground wire between the housing pieces and clamped it with screws, which may not be the best solution but it works. Would buy again, I got 16 for my pedalboard!
