PBC/6X with EBS Flat Plugs

[Blake Rice]

Hello everyone,

I am a long time RJM User and just recently decided to rebuild my pedalboard with the PBC/6X. I am looking for a solution for the stereo loops to use with my Strymon volante, and I found that EBS makes a Flat Plug version of a TRS to 2 TS Insert cable. I love how low-profile these plugs are, but i'm not sure how they'll fit on the back of the 6X with how tight the plugs are. Anybody used the EBS plugs with the 6X? Any issues with fitment?

TIA

EBS jacks are very cheap....

Look here :

Stereo Jacks with Squareplug

TRS Squareplug SP400 plugs should be in a sale in a few month.

Let me clarify quickly, I'm not referring to SquarePlugs at all. I'm referring to these:

Good to know! Thank you. I have previously used other plugs, was curious to try something new. I will be staying away from the flat plugs

For a few more dollars you can have real unbreakables cables

why not use SP400's with Switchcraft 236 plug? This way you can choose the patch cable you want, and make them the length you need. The 400 goes into your Strymon, the 236 into the PBC.

Just gonna say that I have the EBS flat gold patch cables, and I haven’t had any problem at all. I think the are awesome space savers and a good alternative to solder your own.

Reviving this - Can anyone confirm these EBS plugs will fit on the back of the 6x? It's really hard to find low-profile trs plugs that I don't have to make. I'm looking to use a trs for the ext switch and a ts for the function switch to send a tap. It looks like if I angle them they will fit. Anyone tried this before I buy them? Thanks

Yes, they will fit! You have to make one angled up and one down, so the cable on the one that is angled up will have to go first up and then down of you understand.

Thanks a lot!
