What is included in the kit?
The kit includes 24 bi-directional solderless connectors, 7 metres (approximately 24 feet) of low-capacitance cable, and a 2.5 mm screwdriver for assembly.
Is soldering required to assemble the cables?
No, this is a solderless system. You simply cut the cable to your desired length, insert it into the connector, and tighten a single screw to secure it.
What is the advantage of gold-plated contacts?
The 24-karat gold plating on the contacts provides excellent conductivity, reduces signal loss, and helps prevent corrosion over time, ensuring a reliable connection and consistent tone.
How close together can I place my pedals using these cables?
The compact, bi-directional connector design allows you to place pedals as close as 1 centimetre apart, helping to maximise space on your pedalboard.
What type of cable is used?
It uses a studio-grade, low-capacitance cable made from oxygen-free copper with braided shielding. This design helps preserve your instrument's high-end frequencies and reduces hum and interference.
Are the connectors straight or right-angled?
The connectors are bi-directional, meaning they can be configured for either a straight or a right-angled connection depending on your pedalboard layout needs.
Are other kit sizes available?
Yes, Boss offers other solderless cable kits in different sizes, such as the BCK-2, BCK-6, and BCK-12, which contain fewer connectors and shorter cable lengths.
