Unlike any other similar product on the market, the cable and plug were designed together as a matched pair using a special grounding sleeve instead of set screw for the ground connection. This grounding sleeve design significantly increases reliability and provides for the best possible connection using solder-free plug technology. With just five easy steps for assembly, the Lava Solder-Free Pedal Board Kit is the ideal choice for any musician wanting reliability and uncompromising tone with virtually no signal loss.
