2 stars for the number of live shows that these cables worked on. Great for home, not so great for life on the road!
I bought 4 of these kits for my entire pedalboard, approx. 19 pedals. I wanted to rewire and bring some cleanliness to it, which it did. The jacks and cables are fairly discreet and can bend to whatever shape you please, thus making a busy board look a lot tidier.
However, quality-wise, I am waiting and hoping that Harley Benton will revise this kit and make it a lot more reliable. Please bear in mind, this is not a good solution if you are a touring musician, and your show depends on your pedalboard. The connection of these cables is held together by a screw, and if you add that to a board that sits in a back of a car and bus, gets pulled to the stage in and out night after night, this system is doomed to fail in no time.
I am speaking out of personal experience, the cables failed me after only two live shows on the road.
However, I would recommend this kit to anyone who wants to build a board at home, wants full control of customization, and doesn't want to spend a fortune on patch cables.
I thought they were going to be the ideal solution for my pedalboard, but I will go back to soldered connections.
Thank you nonetheless, it was a good lesson learned.
