EBS ICY-30 Flat Insert Cable - 11.8 inches Reviews
EBS’s ICY-30 insert cable expands the sonic possibilities of your Billy Sheehan Ultimate Signature Drive, Stanley Clarke Signature Acoustic Preamp, and Dynaverb pedals while keeping your signal flow intact. This insert cable features EBS’s popular, space-saving flat-head connectors and ribbon-style cabling to neatly organize your pedals on compact pedalboards, without kinks or tangles. Additionally, the double-shielded design extends overall durability while delivering pristine audio quality and less noise throughout your signal chain. Finally, you'll find that use cases extend beyond EBS pedals with Insert jacks; for instance, engineers at Sweetwater Studios use these cables to insert external effects processors into channel inserts in their control rooms, making them quick and viable solutions for a multitude of audio applications.
works great
sounds good, no problems
quality not suitable for audio
i had two of these to go to / from some stereo pedals. they did not last. either the connection or the cable itself wore out or broke, because i had to wiggle the cable to get audio thru. even when i could get audio thru, the signal was degraded. can't recommend.
Stopped working after 3 years
I enjoyed this trs breakout cable for a few years: it's compact, the thib right angle connectors save space when using it on a pedalboard, and it's very useful for trs stereo-out effects and effect send/return. After almost exactly 3 years of home use, though, free from abuse and storing it well when not being used, it stopped sending stereo out and send/return and does mono only. This is unfortunate. So I'm using the Hosa breakout cable (bought one years before and still works) until I can find a space-saving set-up like this one.
Quality Control a bit lacking ...
Excellent Cables ... overall. I've got four of these in my complex WindSynth rig, and the space they save is wonderful. However ...
One of the new cables I just received had the flaw shown in the photo (center of the lower cable). The conductor connected to the common Sleeve is showing through at a point where the cable narrows slightly. Looks like a manufacturing flaw. This cable is otherwise OK, so I am just taping it up and carrying on ... but this Quality Control hiccup is a tad unsettling from a company that otherwise produces excellent quality products.
A must for stereo pedal users
These worked absolutely fantastic for my new HX stomp as I needed a way to maintain a stereo setup for my stereo FX loop on the HX stomp! These are easily the best TRS Y cable on the market for pedalboards and I highly recommend having a few on hand for any time you may need to split for those stereo pedals you have in your collection!
Perfect solution
I needed this cable to run my stereo Timeline and Bluesky pedals into my new Strymon Iridium, which has only one input jack. It works just as it should, has a short cable length intended for a pedal board, and has very low-profile right angle plugs that save space. Seems to be reasonably good quality — definitely recommend.
