Hello!
I am looking for a particular type of 1/4 inch jack (below). Any help finding it will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

ooh... I may be in the market for a couple as well if those are the same crapass jacks in boss ME's. The one I have has 2 that are broken. The board is fine, but the jacks are... jacked.

I had one go out in my ME-30. It looks just like that one. I was lucky enough to find one locally. The only other thing I don't like about it is the tiny bypass button, grrrr.
Lol... yeah, I always thought that was pretty lame. If I get this one fixed, I'm just going to run it in manual mode. If I remember right, I can still switch effect banks but the effects just act like a normal pedal board with presets. The tiny tuner button on the older ones is a killer, too. About worth it to make a remote switch pad that sits higher, or remote foot switches and set the ME on a table or something. Damned jacks are fragile enough, it seems like a better option.
I wish there were enough room, I'd just wire in something reliable. This ME is why I decided to NOT board mount my jacks together. I was leery of board mounting a lot of stuff until not too long ago. I finally came to the conclusion that a lot of board mounted items were done for cost, and fad. It seems like electronic manufacturers in the mid-80's through the late 90's were big on this until they finally started getting returns (then it seems like they just update their return policies, lol). I noticed more and more equipment moving away from protruding board mount components unless it has a way of mechanically securing it to the chassis (like we do around here with pots and stomp switches).
ya need an me5. all the rest of the me series is lame. :icon_mrgreen: :icon_eek: ;D ;D
