power strips

[Ochaye]

what do most folk here use for their stage power supply strips?

not the expensive power conditioners...but there must be something better than the ordinary strip as used by lawn mowers and gardeners,yeah?

[Twinfan]

Nope.  I just use bog standard stuff.

you could try and find one with fused outputs and a circuit breaker built in?
I have a 12 output rackmount unit doing nothing. I think its made by Olsen. It's not a conditioner I don't think.

I think the conditioner I use was about 25-30 quid. It's a black 6-way unit, can't remember the make off the top of my head I'm afraid. I didn't consider that too outrageously expensive, and it does the job!

theres the Tacima one thats available for around £30 on amazon

i think thats a conditioner of some sort and also surge protection etc

I use either a normal power strip with a built in surge protector (or 2 separate units if need be) or if I'm using my rack for FX I have a Samson Power Conditioner in there that does the job for about £30.

i use an rcd one i got from johnny shredfreak (paranoid about getting electrocuted :lol: )

though (and this might be in my imagination) i fancy it added a little noise to my rig

I had an issue with what sounded like a bad ground in my amp when I moved house, but it turned out to be the particular socket on my 4 output cheapo mains strip. Probably has one no-so-good ground in it. something to be aware of if you stick with the super cheap mains strips. RCD is always good. Fuses stop fires, RCD's stop people dying.

Spend some decent cash on a good power bar, you wont regret it! I found one that had 2 of the sockets spaced out for adapter plug ins - very useful!

[dave_mc]

^ ^ that's the way i look at it. I mean i'm as worried about tone as anyone, but if it comes down to a little extra background noise or being dead, i think i'm going to take the noise :lol:

I tend to use the 6-way strips from Ikea-- They're sturdy, fused, switched and surge protected... and cheap, too! Love Ikea :)

[Ochaye]

can someone put a MODEL NUMBER to any of these please?
