Does anyone have experience with the Taiwanese jacks from pedal parts plus? I'm building a loop strip that requires 15 1/4" jacks and I'm looking to save some money by not using Switchcraft or Neutrik. Any reviews would be nice.

ive used really cheap jacks in the past and they are horrible. feels flimsy putting the jack in and for some reason nearly impossible to solder, the solder doesnt stick. never again. i like those plastic isolated jacks though for a change.

I do they are awesome. I've cabled quite a few racks with there connectors and jacks. the pancake right angle connectors are top notch and the 1/4" jacks are really good quality and they ship fast.
I got blisters on my fingers!!!

Thanks! I think I'm actually going to order from Amazon. Free two day shipping :)

I've used those taiwanese jacks. They're alright, but sometimes they need a bit smaller of a hole than the regular switchcraft/neutrik #11 jacks.
