Indeed, we're using Neutrik since the last 3-4 years on all the OTS amps.
They're surprisingly very economical, esp in the above 1000 pcs range! I thought that was strange, till I find out the factory's in China.
Stranger thing is, the non branded chinese ones, they're not as good as the neutriks. So I guess, it doesnt matter where it's made - if the effort is to make good ones, they'd become good
The earlier ones did have 240 (or was it 270) pinout, but we have changed that to be more in line with what other gadgets use.
I am looking at XLRs. Again, neutrik ones aren't so bad, price wise, in qty. When we started out making OTS back in 2007 or so, XLRs were very pricey, and not many choices back then.
Thanks!

I suggest you pick up a Neutrix set screw style 5 pin male DIN plug (check out Neutrix's website). You can get this online just about anywhere - Mouser Electronics for example. As for me, I need to put a disconnect between the footswitch and cable so I can drop an entire pedalboard on the floor and bring everything to it in a snake. I solved the problem with a mating pair of 5 conductor XLR connectors that I put inline just outside of the foot switch. If you're comfortable opening up the amp, I'd suggest making an extension cord and going 5 pin XLR all the way from amp to footswitch.
to keep the forums alive.
