I will redo my pedal board in 2018, that is my New Years resolution.
The solderless Lava cables can not be trusted. I feckin' hate 'em. Useless p.o.s. Like at our last rehersal, the pedal board was maintained in September. I tightened every plug with a flat nipper, as hard as I could. Secured the m.f's. once and for all I thought. But, not. This past week when we rehearsed the board had not been used for three weeks. When I plugged in one loop in the board was dead (again!). WFT. I had to unscrew the top of the connector and mess with it. Somehow it had lost contact even when I did not use it. These solderless connections are just accidents waiting to happen. If this would happen when I set up on a stage with a ten minute window before we where about to go on, then I would go bananas.
So, out with the Lava shit, and in with old school soldered connection cables. What should I buy, the Hamer of soldered pedal board cables? I would need two lenghts. One short version and one a bit longer. That should be enough.
