Have you ever jumped on a guitar cable and totally ruined a guitar input jack or amplifier input jack? This looks like a perfect product for those of you that have or think you might have that problem.
From Belkin’s press release:
Belkin International, Inc., announces new BreakFree Connectors, which detach under extreme tension, protecting your amplifier or guitar from unexpected damage. BreakFree will provide noise-free dynamic sound without any degradation in audio quality.
Belkin’s BreakFree Connectors are designed to eliminate the popping that occurs when cables are accidentally unplugged from a live amplifier. Additionally, for musicians with multiple guitars, the product makes guitar swapping seamless without the hassle of shutting down or putting your amplifier on standby.
