the sssnake Effect Pedal Adapter Straight

This little gadget does its job, it connects two pedals and provides a crystal clear signal path.

I bought this and a slightly different offset adaptor (which allows for height differences) to use between boss and ibanez pedals, the only issue is with this device, is it requires a large space inbetween pedals, where as the offset connector does not. The resulting effect is a large gap, small gap etc etc between a line of pedals which does not look right, the way around this it would seem it to use multiple offset adapters, however when doing this the boss pedals form a zig sag pattern along the board, so there is no real solution using these straight through type connectors.

It works for a couple of pedals of the same manufacturer, but it doesn't simplify things if you have a big pedal board, you may even save space in the gap between pedals by using simple patch cables. Quality is good though, delivers what it says it will.

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.
