This Thing is a small tapered plastic blocker for 6.35mm (1.4") jack sockets, commonly found on the back of guitar amplifiers.
When gigging with my guitar amp I noticed that occasionally I'd connect the footswitch jack plug into the wrong socket, which would cause some odd noises until I could work out what I'd done. On some amplifiers, connecting to the wrong socket could easily cause damage to the amplifier or to whatever you connected to it.
Initially I just covered up all the other sockets with duct tape, but after a while I wanted a better looking solution, so I designed a blocker plug which blanks off the socket.
These are designed with a **taper**, but the exact internal dimensions of 1/4" sockets varies quite a lot, so **to achieve the perfect fit, I recommend wrapping a single layer of electrical tape around the plug**, which provides a good fit and stops the blocker falling out.
