Which jacks for small TB Looper box?

[ethanw]

I built a very small TB looper which works great. But I noticed Keeley and some other guys get 4 jacks, 2 LEDS and a power jack in theirs. I put 4 enclosed jacks in mine and have zero room left. What kind of jacks are these guys using? I'm thinking some kind of neutriks but I'm not sure. The small loopers I'm talking about can be seen here: http://www.robertkeeley.com/product.php?id=23  Any suggestions are appreciated!

Open jacks can get closer together by rotating then in different orientations to each other.
You have to be careful since the open jacks present many more places where they can short.

I had motoboating in a 1590A (that small box) build I couldn't figure out.
The jack was shorting against a pot when the plug was inserted because the tip prong gets pushed outward a little.

Those 1590A are also hard to drill on the sides with a unibit.

You will also want to go with a DC jack that sticks out to give you more room inside.

Thanks for the info. Looks like that will require some careful box drilling. I always worry about the open jacks rotating after use and shorting.  I'll try it on my next looper as i want an LED in it, guess I'll try those jacks too, been meaning to order some anyway-

You could also hard wire the send and receive leads and just loose two out of four jacks.

I did that on my dual loop box.

Damn pretty!     I like the Analog/Digital yin and yang thing.  Nice work there.  Do you have analog pedals on one side and digi on the other?  Or am I interpreting this wrong...

Yes that was the idea. Like most digital pedals mine makes the signal go through the A-D and D-A converters when bypassed.

The other two footswitchs are for amp channel switching and amp reverb on/off.
