I need a couple power cables of about 6" or 1ft, having a right angle connector on both ends.  Does anyone know where a good place would be to buy these premade, or to get the connectors to make myself?  I'm looking for the cheapest solution.

I haven't tried it, but effectsconnection.com sells a kit that comes with 5 feet of cable and 10 right angle connectors for $7.50:

Please let us know if you use them, or if you find any other deals out there for pre-made cables (I'm always on the lookout).

I always dread making these cable - soldering the straight plugs is a nightmare for me. These right angle plugs look a lot easier t work with and I'll try them. I tried sourcing pre-made cables in the past and you have to order hundreds to make it cost effective per cable.
It's all about the tone!

jefe, looks like a great price but super weird wiring...they sell just the jacks for $0.50 each.  Might sound silly, but I wouldn't be able to stand the blue wire for this application, gotta be black, and their black wiring is pricey at $1/ft.  I like the #22 zip cord at small bear, but I don't want to spend $1 on cable and $4.50 for shipping. Know of anywhere to get cheap shipped 2-conductor black wire?

It's pictured blue, but the stuff I got ages ago was black. They also sell it by the foot and it comes black. Highly recommended, I like those right angle ends better than anything else I've tried.
