For me, I wanted a strong resistance to avoid accidentally or prematurely hitting the record button. > What is a CAT5 networking jack? Would I find this in the Mouser electronics catalog, ferinstance? CAT5 networking jacks are what you'd find in an office where PC's are networked together. They look just like a phone jack, but bigger and with more connections. They're also called RJ45's vs. phone jacks which are RJ11's (or is that vice versa?). If you don't need 8 wires, but 6 or 4, then a standard phone jack scenario could accomplish the same thing. > What is "standard, cheap network cable?" Is it roadworthy? I wouldn't say it's as roadworthy as a decent instrument cable. It's designed for static installation. You can go to any home depot, lowe's, or radio shack and they'll have cat 5 cable. Check it out and make the call yourself. Additionally, the box I'm using as a stomp-box is a simple plastic enclosure from my local electronics parts store. Not very road-worthy, but I'm not out that much. Weight and cost are more of an issue.
