Lemonade Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 I'm currently playing with 4 pedals in my set up (Behringer Tube Overdrive, Behringer Vintage Overdrive, Marshall Chorus and a Small Stone Phaser) and I'm planning to add a couple more soon. However I'm getting pissed off constantly changing batteries and losing power halfway through practice. Looking for advice on how to power all of them from the mains without having to buy mains adaptors for each pedal.ThanksLR 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could mount that on a bit of wood and stick all my pedals down and just leave them connected..... hmmm..... I looked at Boss idea, I do really fancy the TU-2 pedal but it might have to wait till after Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam 45 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Get a power bank. One of my best purchases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest davetherave Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Pwr supplyI use one of these to power 7 Boss pedals You can get cheaper, but if you exceed the current rating on cheap PSU's then your pedals can sound like shit!Rocktron DC OnTap Universal Stomp Box Power Supply, Acceccories Effects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could mount that on a bit of wood and stick all my pedals down and just leave them connected..... hmmm..... yeah, thats what i did. covered a bit of wood with velcro and have my pedals and power supply on it and it works fine for me. saves lots of time setting up at gigs/soundchecks as you dont have to connect all your pedals together or have to remember what order you have them in!

Lame Guitarist Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 i went for the voodoo labs pedal power things. really good. powers up to 8 pedals and isolates the power on each one so there aint any tone loss with power drain and buzzing like you get on some of the cheaper ones.expensive at roughly 150 quid but worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 If you're using just 4 pedals, you might be best just to buy the TU-2 (which would be a smart purchase) and daisy chain the power from one 9v power adapter. It's a cheaper option and you get one of the best compact tuners on the market included in the price. Then all you'd need a 9v adapter and the daisy chain links.Since gigging and practicing with a TU2, I don't know how I'd be able to gig and practice without one.

It's really good. Sturdy metal, and no buzzing when I hit the pedals. If only one of the cords would fit my fucking Small Stone!Thanks for the recommendation.
