Pedalboard wiring (audio)

Pedalboard audio cabling is a fun task. Neatly made cables from quality materials are durable and look great.

Cables can be made either by soldering or using solderless plugs, making the assembly process quick and easy.

Among solderable plugs, Evidence ESP is extremely high quality and made in the USA. Switchcraft connectors are also excellent. ESP works well with thin cables, such as Evidence Blackrock or Van Damme patch cables.

Van Damme offers great and very reasonably priced cables for all guitarists' needs.

Among solderless connectors, the Evidence SIS paired with the Monorail cable is top-notch. The materials used by Evidence are of exceptional quality, making them worth the price. There are significant differences between metals used in audio connectors. 

Most professional pedalboard builders use the mentioned products.

Quality connectors have precise tolerances, so you won’t face fitting issues common with cheap plugs.

If your budget is tight, you can use imitation connectors or ready-made patch cables for your board. We’ve selected a few practical options here.
