Hi Folks,

The nut seems to have backed off my Janglebox Nano. It's not a normal input jack with the threads on the outside, they seem recessed so I can't just get a normal nut. Is there a special kind that they use?

The jack & nut assembly looks pretty typical to me. Have you opened the back of the pedal and tried to push the jack (back) out? It may have just "fallen" inward a little when the nut came off. The Janglebox web site has contact info; give them a call or email....

What I saw in the photo above seemed to be a regular nut encircling a threaded shaft; you can see a “rim.” I found a few of the nuts as you described them, and upon examining the photo again, it seems that the circular shaft end is simply wear from the cable connector; faked out.

Here are a couple of example nuts from an ebay seller; I could not find anything specific for any JangleBox:

Each of these web pages advertises other similar replacement nuts. I guess you removed the output nut to get a good overview of it…. There must be a JB Nano replacement nut somewhere.

This seller has a lot; there must be one that can serve as a replacement for the JB nut; maybe contact the seller…

Man, this looks close. Contact the seller and ask if it would fit a JB. If not, he’ll probably mention one that will:

did you ever find the correct screw?

I have a full sized silver jangle box but it looks like it uses the same size.
