Mooer Pedal Connector Z

these Mooer plugs look cool and feel sturdy, but the problem is with the whole concept of rigid plugs. connect two pedals (possibly of the same size and with a similar jack layout) and everything's fine. connect a third, and you'll already lose stability, causing strain to the jacks everytime you 'll use any of the footswitches. the problem is that pedal jacks are never mounted in a perfectly straight line. so, forget connecting more than 2 pedals at a time (the only exception is with Mooer pedals in their dedicated Mooer pedal case, but even so i wouldn't plug 4 of them in an uninterrupted line!) and you won't have bad surprises.

This connector is simple in its construction, but appears to be well made and reliable. I have only had this for a couples of weeks and it is working perfectly. Of course I cannot comment on its durability, but otherwise it is perfect.

The offset position of the two jacks means that it is ideal for connecting pedals whose inputs are not in the same height or even relative position on the pedal. Furthermore, its design helps to minimise the space between the two pedals connected, as the distance with this connector is less than 3cm. With a normal patch cable or a different connector is it usually anywhere between 3.5cm and 5cm. This may not sound like much of a difference, but in a crowded pedalboard it could determine whether you can fit another pedal per row or not.

It can be very handy, saves space, but when using it in a busy pedal board - please now take a birds eye view of your board - you need to consider that if you want to remove a pedal this is attached to, you cant just pry it upwards, you will need to move it left/right because this thing will hold it in place attached to it's left or right to the next neighbouring pedal.

I found my Mooer Z Connector over a short time just started to loose reliability, and I got to a point where I was loosing signal on my board and totally freaking out. Was it a pedal, my guitar, the cables, the amp? Traced it down to this.

What can you say about this product it is a connector it connects your pedal and saves up a nice bit of space on your pedal board no added noise into the chain line and they seem to be well made so nothing negative about sound wise.

If i had to say anything bad about these connectors it would be that they are very small so you could easily misplace them if not using them and second of all the connection is not as tight as i would like and this can be off 3 things

1. My pedals could just have loose input connector which is not the pedal connectors fault

2,I use planet waves american stage cable with has a much stronger connection which i have just gotten use to having

3. The Mooer pedal connector z connection type is to small to make proper sturdy connection

I would say it is the latter of the 1 and 2 and not 3.

Still with that in mind it shouldn't deter you from you buying this product specially if you want to save space on your pedal board.
