Right to left? Why?

You can't get used to being dead.

Sure you can, on the inside.

This thread is helping.

You can't get used to being dead.

Counterpoint: I've never heard any of them complain about it.

I think I could get used to it.

You can't get used to being dead.

You got plenty of time to work on it.

You got plenty of time to work on it.

But not the inclination.

You just never know where a TB thread is going to go. Doesn't matter whether you begin on the right or wrong end. You'll get to the same spot and you probably will not care anymore.

Why?
Cuz that's the way it's always been !
if it's not broken why fix it!

Not always.
The Fuzz face was the other way round, so were the Tone Benders, Roto Sound fuzz and early Cry Baby and Maestro wahs. Lots of pedals were the other way round.
I blame Boss for the standardisation.

It's the it's the international political Right hand conspiracy.. like ever like they said. lol

 

[BartmanPDX]

Right-handed basses and guitars have their outputs on the right (from the perspective of the instrumentalist). Standard pedal configuration for the vast majority of players who are right-handed means you're not running your cable across your body/board. I think that's pretty much the end of the story.

Like a BOSS.

Occam's Razor is boring.

I prefer to think that it's so the toanz won't leak out.

[holy ghost]

I had an effect unit that was backwards. Some reverb. I remember wiring it up was so frustrating that it was one of the reasons why it got kijiji'd.....

 

[Adamixoye]

Eventide Factor series pedals are "backwards," actually---though they are top jacks so it's not quite as onerous.

And then there's this abomination:

 

[farace]

Be thankful there is now a standard. Imagine what your pedalboard wiring would be like if various pedals had their inputs and outputs reversed. What would lines at the gas pumps be like if cars had their gas caps on different sides? Oh, wait . . .

 

[Alien8]

Shortest distance between jacks for maximum TOANZ in bypass.

thanks.. I'm a graphic designer, I found some clipart. and reshaped it.

 

[Rattman]

Political reasons.

Uh-oh... Shhhh!
