i'm wondering about a good solderless connection method that would work well inside a stompbox.  for example, suppose i don't want to solder my wires to the pcb. instead, i solder some kind of terminal on the pcb and a connector onto the wire so that i can disconnect easily.  does anyone have some recommendations among the many possibilities on mouser or similar?  (wherever this has been discussed, i missed it.  maybe because there are so many "solderless" breadboard threads. :icon_wink:)  thanks!

I suppose you could use ribbon/interface cable? Use one of the male connectors on the PCB, with each pin being a different input/output to the board. Then plug in the female ribbon cable, and strip the wires so there all seperate, cut each to length and solder to where-ever they go.
