...I have to admit that I haven't opened mine yet. Have any other LABsters used one, and what did you think? I don't play guitar :/ |

One thing crossed my mind is whether this is available in a 90-degree angle plug. |

It could also work for V-Drums Scott!! |

Yep they do the NP2RX-AU-SILENT, I saw it at AES. How well does the muting work? Could you hear any popping? I need to get my self some of these plugs. |

I'm beginning to think I would be better off buying some cheap guitar cables and making my own. |

If I cared a little more, I would find a link to some 1/4" silent plugs that have a little volume control on them for acoustic acts. they were expensive, but no pops either (that is if you remember to turn it down befor unpluging). |

Maybe it was one of these fitted with a Silent Plug?? http://tinyurl.com/2bktnf |

Just a follow up on this topic - I found that Neutrik also makes a right-angle version of this connector... and that's what I needed for my own personal guitar setup. I made a pair of cables with right angle connectors on one end, since my guitar has the jack on the pick guard ('67 Epiphone Olympic Single, with a Seymour Duncan Hot Stack pickup, for those who care). Man is that a nice connector! -Karl |

Good input, Mike. I haven't noticed that problem but I also haven't used my cables very much. I haven't heard of this problem with the straight version - has anyone else? -Karl |

OK, another update for me..... I have about 10 of these in use, and have had 2 failures so far. I have also found some pops occurring with certain guitars similar to Jerry's findings. I still like the product but the couple of failures concerns me a bit, especially seeing that others have had the same problem. I'm not sure if I have 100% faith in these connectors, especially in a really heavy-use situation. |

Jerry, The failures have been shorted, and the other issue was the popping with certain few models of guitars. |
