NEW Pigtails! ..Four New Pigtail 2-Packs with Cool New Functions

and 

NEW! . Stereo TRS GLine RS1-TRS now provides two stereo 1/4" plugs (1 right angle and 1 straight).  Players with TRS footswitches (or other "stereo plug" applications) now have a simple solution for stereo 1/4" lines.

New Dual Isolated PLines  MM2-I for 2 SnakePOWER supplies.  MF2-I  for 2 standard wall warts.

Standard Dual PLines are still a valuable commodity (MM2 and MF2, with a shared ground wire). 

The new "-I" Isolated PLines effectively give you 2 Single PLines (each with a separate ground wire) from 1 BaseSnake channel (requires the white 5-wire channel). 

This allows you to do a couple of things the standard Duals can't do:

• Share an DC- and an AC-output power supply on the 2 sides of the Dual-I
• Avoid  Hum (in come rigs). 
  • The white 5-wire channel provides each side of a Dual-I PLine with a separate ground wire. 
  • So, if the 2 shared power supplies are used to power pedals (or pedal-chains) connected to different ground points in your rig, a ground loop (and hum) can be avoided with a Dual -I. 
  • As always, you should careful with any power-chains---for either supply.

and New Hi-Current PLine Use MF1-H for pedals that have power supplies rated at 1600mA or more (like pedals from Damage Control, Vox Tone Lab, etc.)  Use MF1-H with the white 5-wire channel on a BaseSnake. Back to top
