I have used these leads for a number of uses, direct into guitar to amp, between pedals, and in effects loops. More often than not however this would be my lead of choice to run between tuner or noise gate and amp (as it is a sensible length and I generally prefer angled jack leads for my guitar)
The build quality has been fine, and whilst other reviews have mentioned the coil spring near the Jack being helpful when removing the lead from an instrument, I would still take care when doing so as this definitely becomes the lead's weak link over time and repeated use.
Sound quality with this lead has never been an issue and for the price you really can't go wrong. In future I think I would find it hard to justify spending more money on a different cable knowing that one of these will do the job just fine.
