What Kind of Jacks are these?

[The Rocket From The Tombs]

What kind of Jacks are these and where can I buy them? I've looked around on Google but, haven't seen any.

Those are standard issue plastic PCB mount jacks.  They're used in lots of pedals and amps.  To source them, check out small bear electronics, mammoth electronics, pedal parts plus, or some of the other amp/pedal specific retailers (tubes and more, hoffman amps, mojo tone, ted weber speakers, etc).

Oh wait, are they Stereo or Mono?

Those ones are stereo (you can tell by the 3 metal parts), but you could wire them as mono.

The stereo jacks are commonly used with mono patch cables This allows the patch cable to switch on the power when the plug is inserted. Not really an issue if you don't use batteries.

So, If I am using batteries, which jack would I want to make mono and which stereo?

[electrosonic]

The standard (as done by BOSS for 30 or more years) way is to use a stereo mono jack for the input jack to switch the power on/off.

The Beavis Audio page explains it well - scroll down the page a bit to the section "Using the input jack as switch"
