Hi all,
Back in the UK for me, so happy new year to everyone!
In my usual dilema fashion, i am looking for a powersupply (actually 2) for my pedals, and i am torn between the Godlyke powerall, and the Visualsounds 1spot.
Powerall 40GBP and it includes all the gimmicks like a 5way daisy, reverse polarities etc etc.
1spot, 25GBP without any gimmicks which you buy extra (ie chain for 8GBP, rev polarity jack 3GBP etc etc)
For the time beeing, i just need , 2x power supplies in order to power 2 9v normal polarity pedals and 1 9v reverse polarity pedal.
I know i could do the trick with the PP2+ but thats a 159GBP trick...
Any ideas?
Furthermore any good places to suggest for getting the 1spot and Godlyke in the UK?
Happy new Year again.
Yannis
PS. On a different topic.... GeorgeL cables for pedalboard... yay or nay?

how about the Rothwell Stomp Juice?

It has isolated outs so you don't get any chance of nasty earth loops between pedals!
George Ls are great between pedals!

WOW this looks ace man, are you sure it has isolated outputs like the Voodoo Labs PP2+? Coz this means i could mix/match any polarities there...
-
I think they are, best to email and check. There's a review in Gutarist or Guitar Buyer somewhere.
-
I've got one of those Rothwell power supplies. The company has a background in hifi so you can rest assured that there isnt any mains noise.
Each output is isolated like the Pedal Power but without the high price tag, although it isn't as versatile - although if you only have 9v pedals then that doesn't matter.
-
Can you double up the 9v and get 18v like you can with the PP2? I guess you should if it's isolated!

DONE.
This means, i can mix and match polarities without short circuit mayhem :D:D:D, coz i want to power 1 Fulltone Fuzz and 2 normal polarity pedals.
BTW can you add a daisy chain to create more outlets? Any feedback on the dealer listings there? I suspect every listing is a reputable shop etc... :)
-
if some of the cables have reverse polarity wouldn't you need special cables?
i wouldn't recommend daisy-chaining the effects from the Rothwell box.
Rothwell were very helpful when mine stopped working. It was just the fuse blown, and it has a spare inside the case.

Yes i would need reverse polarity cable or something ( i could cut and resolder one) but the point is that if the 6 outputs are isolated then i wont have any problems with short circuiting the thing by having mixed polarities/grounds in a single chain.
-
I've wired some up myself that have odd connections for my EH pedals. Not had any problem with them.

good to know man,
so i suspect that rothwell is also impervious from hum/noise etc... right? and built like a tank
-
Damn, according to this list, the Rothwell is not with isolated outputs...

Ok an update for everyone..
I called Rothwell and they told me that the Stompjuice is unfortunately NOT with isolated outputs, this means, pedals with mixed polarities wont work on this one, so i am back to 1spot vs Powerall situations
-
Bugger - you should be able to mix polarities still, it's just swapping negative tip/ positive tip
-
I emailed Dunlop about the Powerbrick, they said that (in contravention to what that website above says) that, yeah, it has isolated outputs. Its only about 99 quid from GAK; I think I will buy one of those sometime soon. Sounds a good deal?
-
Hi all check out www.diago.co.uk for power supplies they are in Bingley, West Yorkshire.
cheers

Unless Dunlop has totally changed the DC brick, it is just a 1spot/Powerall with different casing, ie it is not isolated or anything, so 100 quid is too much for it.
The best solution is in Netherlands , the Burkey Flatliner at around 200eu, but unfortunately the dealer network is TINY, just 3 shops in the Netherlands, i just wish someone brought it in the UK.
As for 1spot/Godlyke, it seems like the same thing, with the exception that the Godlyke ends up beeing cheaper at 40quid including every posible lead/adapter.
-
I've got one of Diago's pedalboards - its bloody huge. I don't think their power supplies are what is require simply because they are daisy-chained.
-
I'm also after a new pedalboard power supply along the lines of the 1-Spot or Godlyke Power-all. I really like the look of that Diago 1 too :)
-
The diago looks nice but essentially is a Godlyke/1spot with a 50GBP price tag, nothing more.
Maybe i ll just get a Powerbank for 20quid which is the same as the 1spot/Godlyke.
-
I have to say, I ended up sending my 1 spot back. It worked fine with some pedals, got noisy with others. The Pedal Power 2 is expensive, but it's bloody good.
There's also the Carl Martin Big John.

the BigJohn unfortunately isnt offering isolated outputs so its no use to me.
The Burkey Flatliner supposedly does that the PP2+ does, better and slightly cheaper... but it can be found only in Holland.
My q is, which one is more silent between the 1spot/powerall/powerbank.

Hi, im new here but just to let you all know i am now the UK dealer for the Burkey Flatliner power supply and am taking advance orders as from today.. all UK advance orders will be shipped free of charge.
