the sssnake Effect Pedal Adapter

Quality
It looks like a solidly made piece of kit on first glance, the first time I used one however I plugged it into both pedals, sat them back onto the velcro of my pedalboard and one side of it popped off revealing a very simple wired connection within! I quickly took it out of both pedals while being very careful with the wired connection inside and reinserted the side into the body, thankfully it popped back in without too much trouble and after pressing it in quite firmly it seems a bit more sturdy than originally!

Hopefully this is just a one off and the others will be properly attached!

Sound
Given how thin the internal wire was I'm not overly hopefuly of the sound these will convey but I'll give them a go...

Conclusions
They are cheap and as long as you're careful they're probably going to be ok, I suspect that the slightly more expensive option may be better quality...

If you're using a lot of effect pedals (and you can never have enough pedals ;) ), your pedalboard inevitably grows and grows and managing the space on your board becomes more important. Since less space for cables means more space for your pedals, you should consider giving this little adapter a shot. By using a few of them instead of cables, I managed to fit one more pedal on my board. However, they're not as flexible as cables, so depending on where the input/output jacks of your pedals are and where you place them on your board, you might not be able to connect them with each other. The adapter also isn't too sturdy, so you should make sure your pedals are fixed in place to avoid any loose contacts.

This is very useful -- it allows you to place different pedals very close together. I was surprised that a lot of the difference provided by the offset is used to correct vertical alignment, rather than the horizontal alignment difference that I expected.

One of the plates (with a jack attached) is held in only by friction. This is fine once the pedals are on your board and locked down by velcro. Unfortunately when you're moving them around to set them up, the jacks act as levers and can twist the plate out of position. It all pushes back in, and it didn't break the connection for me, but it is still a little off putting.
