Pure Tone Output Jacks

[Dave Scepter]

I don't ever recommend any products but I highly recommend these… they DO make a difference.... plus they're on sale!

Yes, I have put one in my Stratocaster, and there is no crackle anymore.

However it is more difficult to remove the plug, as it is held very tight.

Yes not recommended for guitars with plastic output jack plates

I promise I am not being a smart ass…but what difference do these particular output jacks make?

Did I mention how much I despise the Hamer barrel Jack?

100% more contact area and a really firm insertion fit 👉👌...  Probably not recommended if you're one of those guys that pull the cord out from the wire

They work great in speaker cabinets as well. No floppy poppy.

Ok. Cool. Thanks for the heads up, @Dave Scepter!

YES THIS!.. I replaced one in my 2x12 cabinet and between the locking & the Pure Tone it's cheap reassurance knowing my speaker cable is solid... can you imagine what can happen to your old tube amp without a load? 😳

Years ago a band I was teching for was playing a showcase with a rented backline. The bass cab's jack was loose AF and the sound pressure kept pushing the plug out just enough to lose signal, had to duct tape the shit out of that plug to the cab.
