Ernie Ball1/4" Straight Plug
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single straight 1/4" plug end for building or repairing an instrument cable. For players who make or fix their own cables.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a crackling plug on a cable you already like
- Building cable runs to exact pedalboard lengths
- Guitars and amps with recessed or front-facing jacks
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone who just wants a finished cable out of the bag
- Top-mounted jacks where a right-angle plug sits flatter
- Players with no soldering iron or assembly tools
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Straight barrel
The cable exits in line with the jack, so you need a few inches of clearance in front of the instrument or pedal.
Detail 03
One plug, not a pair
A cable needs an end at each side. Buy two per cable unless you're repairing a single damaged end.
Detail 04
Gray housing
Cosmetic, but a non-black end is easier to spot when you're tracing one cable out of a tangle behind an amp.
Detail 05
$3.49
Priced as a component, not a finished cable. Cable by the foot is a separate cost on top.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No cable included. You supply the wire and the second end.
- 02Check your cable's outer diameter clears the plug's strain relief.
- 03Straight plugs stick out — risky on a guitar left leaning on a stand.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many do I need to make one cable?
Two, one for each end. Buy a single only if you're replacing one damaged plug on an otherwise good cable.
02Does it come with cable?
No. This is the plug alone. Cable is sold separately, usually by the foot, so you can cut runs to the length you need.
03Straight or right-angle — which should I get?
Straight suits front-edge and recessed jacks, and amp inputs. Right-angle suits top-mounted jacks and tight pedalboards where clearance is short.
04Will it work with a bass?
Yes. Bass, guitar, keyboard, and most pedals all use the same 1/4" jack.
