If you're struggling for room on your pedal board and you can't put them close to each other because your jack to jack cables are in the way, this is a great solution, Solid construction, you shouldn't ever have an issue with the build quality of anything by planet waves, however, the day will come when you're unpacking your gear, getting ready for a soundcheck and then it's your turn, Silence, that dreadful moment where you've got to fault find through your pedal board when everyone else is waiting for you to do your check and the gig is close to starting, people watching you etc etc, All it takes is a couple of mm of incorrectly plugged jack to kill the signal path, If however your pedals are properly held down via screws or black magic you should have no worries. If Planet waves thought of a locking device It would be full marks from me.
