I was looking for something low profile and good quality. So far so good! I bought 2 of these cables (TRS split-Y 18") to connect to a Strymon Timeline on my board from other pedals. The Timeline has another pedal right above it so I couldn't use straight 1/4 connections. I tried using some pancake connections but the ins/outs on the pedal are so close together (and the cables need to run side to side) that the pancakes weren't working out. Not really sure how I found these, (maybe just a Google search?) but I'm glad I did. The connections are quite a bit smaller than a typical pancake connector, and the cables are quite a bit more flexible. I haven't had any problem running them side to side or looping them through and around to other connections. And everything sounds as it should. There hasn't been any tone degradation or added noise so far. I don't, however, plan to be pushing and pulling these cables very often. I intend for them to stay connected and stationary on my board with an occasional rearrange. So I'll let someone else speak to their durability for a frequent push/pull situation. As for me, I'll be doing more business in the future.
