Very low-profile 1/4" plugs

I recently got an email from EHX that showed a picture of the Grand Canyon pedal, but I was most interested in the 1/4" plugs going into the pedal. These appear to be the lowest-profile straight 1/4" phone plugs I've ever seen. Who makes these? I tried to search the web, but no matter how you word it, the results are horribly incorrect. Amazon gave me a very useful link to "1/4 Jumbo plugs"...(yep, that's exactly what I'm looking for...OVERSIZED! *head pounding to desk*). The closest I could find are the Planet Waves DIY solderless 1/4" plugs. But even those look longer than the ones pictured.

Don't they normally use enclosed PCB mount jacks?

Those look a lot like Squarplug SPS5 or SPS4 to me. The squareplugs are soldered connections.

The squareplug connectors are absolutely the best. I won't use anything else going forward.

Those Squareplug plugs do look really nice, probably the nicest 1/4" plugs I've seen. I'm going to have to look into those. But they still don't appear to be the ones in the EHX picture. The plugs in the picture have a knurled end with no set screw, and still appear to be even shorter than the Squareplug's.

Yes, I think most new EHX pedals do, but in other pictures of the Grand Canyon, it appears to have standard metal 1/4" jacks, just like a guitar, which is why the super-short 1/4" plugs in the picture are so intriguing. Those could be a huge space-savings on pedalboards. I'm starting to wonder if these are a new EHX prototype and that they're going to get into making cables soon.
