pedalboard power
« on: September 29, 2010, 03:09:47 PM »
All of my pedals are standard 9v connections, but i want to incorporate my wireless receiver onto the board (The range on it is immense so no worries about it being on the floor), and after disappointingly looking at it today, it requires 12-18v. 
I was going to buy a power supply and 5 way daisy chain.
Obviously normal supplies wont be effective, is there any way of adding this to the board or will i have to resign to using it as i am already with its independant power and placed on top of my cab?  Hopeless with electronics me.

Yep!

I run my MI Audio Boost n Buff from 1 of those. It really seems to open it up and adds headroom to the gain
Selling lots of gear, enquire within!......

The Harley Benton power plant, available from Thomann, is a cheap version of the T-Rex Fuel Tank Chamaeleon.
Unlike the T-Rex the power plant's outputs are not isolated, so there can be some noise. In my case I had noise from exactly ONE pedal, my Boss RC-2 looper. All other pedals together on it did not cause any noise problems.
It is much cheaper than the T-Rex. Both have 12V outputs and both can fit standard kettle leads, so you can use it in the UK and continental Europe if you just get the fitting mains power cords.

Also, how good are the Harley Benton stuff? I see them all over thomann and their dirt cheap. Made of plastic/dodgy electronics?
