Flawed by design
It is pretty well made but has major flaws. For one, it cannot be used to connect pedals that have jacks not parallel to the floor. If that was the case, the adapter would put a lot of pressure on the jacks and damage the circuit boards that they're soldered to. The other disadvantage is that if you used these adapters to connect all your pedals and one of them broke down, you would have to remove all your effects from the board just to disconnect a single pedal. This adapter could be vastly improved by making its center section flexible. That way there would be no risk of damaging the pedals.

Good connector
Good connector which is mainly intended for use for connecting pedals on pedal boards. Overall good quality although the overall length could have been a bit shorter? Your pedals will be quite spaced apart from each other with this. Not necessarily a good thing if you want to fit in more pedals. Personally I would use cables instead of this one. Of course this is best suited for use with similar pedals? indeed the jack connectors of the pedals need to be aligned at the same height on the edge of the pedal etc. since this is not a flexible cable.

Looks smaller than it is
I bought this product to reduce the empty space between my pedals on the pedal board. Although the cable clutter is limited, the space between pedals is actually increased. So keep that in mind.
Apart from that, I cannot comment on the sound quality since the differences are negligible compared to other alternative products.

This is a solid good quality connection but..... If you are thinking of using it to connect guitar pedals and thus avoid lots of cable mess there can be some issues.
If the input jack on the pedals is not at the exact same height these inflexible connectors can put strain on the pedals input jack when you press down on the pedal with your foot. Over time this can damage the pedals. So if you are sure the jack height is the same (eg. when connecting pedals from the same manufacturer) then fine. But otherwise flexible connectors are better in my view.

Space Saver!
This is a good tool for saving space and increasing your much needed pedal board real estate! I would recommend these to anyone putting a board together - the only thing about them to consider is whether or not your pedals inputs are the same height - if so, you're on to a winner. Will buy again.

What can go wrong?
In a word, nothing. Much better made than the offset version of these. Just be careful that you get them lined up ight, therwiise something will break - more likely the pedal than the connector.

Solid and well made
This is perfect if you have a number of pedals with side inputs in the same place. I've noticed no noise or loss of quality with these plugs and they look (and feel) chunky and solid. I prefer to use these rather than patch leads whenever possible as they're smaller and sturdier. I'm pleased with mine.

Too specific
This adapter will work just fine, if you have two pedals with the jacks at exactly same height, but if not, whenever you will put weight on either pedal, or the pedals' weight itself, could over time damage either the adapted or the input of the pedal.
I only reccomend buying this if you have the option of adjusting the height of individual pedals.
I have fixed this by using some paper which I put under the lower pedals, which works, but isn't pretty nor a permanent solution.
The good side is that it's cheap and replaceable, so if you don't want to spend much and if you don't mind using random things to adjust the heights of your pedals, go for it.

Works fine
Works fine with me. A bit long, not a perfect solution if you want to save some space.
Pros:
- low price;
- acceptable quality.
Cons:
- a bit long.

Good, but not snakelike at all
When is a guitar lead not a guitar lead? When it is this crazy little thing. Like some sort of Escher object. I bought a good few of these back when I had a couple of boss pedals (a couple means 2 or more in Ireland) and they were fantastic. No use of course if your rig of choice is a fuzzface, a clon centaur and a metal zone pedal.
