Which compact pedal connector is the right one for my pedals?
We offer 3 versions of rigid pedal connectors - straight, N-shaped and Z-shaped - as well as the flexible Bender75. Which connector is the right one for your pedals depends on the following: Enclosure sides: The straight, N-shaped and Z-shaped connectors should only be used, if the sides with the IN and OUT jacks of your pedal's are absolutely perpendicular (90 degrees) to the pedal's bottom. Using these connectors with even slightly angled sides will put excessive strain on the sockets and may damage your pedals. The Bender75 is completely flexible and will compensate for any angle. If the sides of your pedal enclosure are slightly angled, the Bender75 is the perfect choice for you. Orientation & position of the jack sockets: If the jack sockets of both pedals you want to connect are mounted on the top side, the Bender75 is the best choice for you. Should your pedals have jack sockets at different heights and positions on the sides of the pedals you will can choose between the Z-shaped and N-shaped connectors. Both can compensate for offset in height and lateral position. The Z-shaped connector is perfect for compensating for small distances. The N-shaped connector will compensate for larger distances. If the jacks of the pedals you want to connect are exactly at the same height and opposite of each other, the Straight Connector is the perfect choice.
