Krackle Killers were invented by a long-time guitarist, bass player and sometime instrument repairer looking for a simple way to remove the “crud” that accumulates on the contact surfaces of 1/4″ jack sockets (as used in virtually all electric guitars, basses, amplifiers, effects units and sound desks).
Over decades, Dave had tried every conventional method for cleaning these sockets, but each of them was unsatisfactory for one reason or other. They all either damaged the socket themselves, were cumbersome to perform or largely ineffective. Then he had a fiendishly clever idea…
Why not design absorbent, non-abrasive plugs that exactly matched the dimensions of a 1/4″ jack? In combination with quality contact cleaning fluid, they could be used to “clear out the krackle” safely and effectively.
After much refinement and a looooong search for a manufacturer who could meet the necessary high quality standard, Krackle Killers were born.
