The Elements and Pancake plugs
Does anyone have experience using pancake plugs with the Elements (or Tremolessence)? I'm thinking about overhauling my patch cable situation but I don't know if they would get in the way of the dc jack.

One of my favourite aspects of Dr. Sci pedals. They and the 3 Leaf ones that use the 125B enclosure do an awesome job of keeping the jacks far enough apart while keeping them all on top.

It's a tight fit with some plugs, but it's a good fit. You don't have to molest anything.

This has been confirmed by everyone 65 times but whatever. I was in the rehearsal room and had a camera with me...

I have a Tremolessence and a Mini Reverberator both wired up using the (kinda chunky) Switchcraft 228 pankcake plugs. It looks tight, but they fit right along with the adapter with no trouble.

Re: The Elements and Pancake plugs
I had some Ibanez daisy chains that wouldn't fit,
Since it's just the plastic molding that gets in the way, i neatly shaved just a tiny bit off with a razor blade
problem solved.
top mounted everything is a great feature of Dr.S pedals
and bottom of the box stomps too.

Re: The Elements and Pancake plugs
Right on, guys, I totally thought pancakers wouldn't fit! I thought that was actually a compromise of my build style, that the jacks were all too close for breakfast plugs... I'm glad that's not true!
Tim, that's just gotta be one of the coolest boards ever.. it rules hard!

Remember that tv show Heroes? I was supposed to be on it... my special power is remembering names... but they cut me before the pilot. Hollywood politics etc, you know how it goes.
