vega Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Thanks for the link!Looks good and is certainly a decent price. Does it work alright with pedals like The Rat or any of the EH pedals with a different power input size?I have found a box online that costs 50 and that has cables specifically for these pedals and the line 6 modellers but they cost an extra 4 each.Pedalboards, Pedal Board Cases, Effects Pedal Power Supplies and the Finest Hand-built British Guitar Amplifiers by Diago - Overview - that shows all the stuff it can do and the prices are in the "shop" section.Diago Powerstation Compatability - shows just what that box is capable of.According to that site, pedals such as the line 6 DL4 use 9V AC power compared to the Boss pedals which use 9V DC. Having consulted guitar shops, I understand that buying a separate adaptor would ensure a "hum" free signal although it should work fine on a DC adaptor. I have very little knowledge in this area though and have no idea whether buying a DC only box (like the one Sound Lab one) to run my pedals, which include the Rat and the DL4, would either damage them or cause the box to "blow" as a result of powering something it really wasn't designed for.There are links on the Diago site to their competition but I've yet to come across anything that suits.

The metal muff dies all the time, and besides its a bit toooo high gain for me. a really, really good resource for effects pedals stuff is the Kit And Tab section of Muse Messageboard - Powered by vBulletin - whether you like muse or not, that forum's a fucking gold mine of information.anyone want to buy an epi les paul custom? heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vega Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Thanks for the help! I reckon I'll end up with the Sound Labs box and take a trip to R'n'B to get new heads for the Rat and my Holy Grail. As for the DL4, I'll hold onto the power supply for now. Thanks once again:up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottST Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 just an update, changed the board about again:D got the new wood from a mid-renovation kitchen junk pile. its actually slanted too, but cant really see that in the pic.i dropped the DL4 from the set up, but added the akai headrush for looping funi also put the tuner at the end of the chain to double as a mute/cut off switch.still havent replaced the metal muff yet, can anyone think of a nice versatile distortion pedal? as in it does insanity but relative calm aswell? i was gonna get a modded DS-1 but havent got round to it yet also, you should all come out and post your own boards too:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeinzHines Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 i also put the tuner at the end of the chain to double as a mute/cut off switch.Are you not worried that it wont be doing correct tuning readouts going through lots and lots of pedals before the signal gets there?
