Best value:
Excellent
Slowly starting to make me a little collection of pedals I started looking for a diet to turn this beautiful world would bother with a battery.
The problem of power supply configuration is that each user is different and it is difficult to find just the block that will meet your needs: just be one or two pedals atypical in terms of supply for that a block not agree more. Indeed, these blocks cut by the power outlet and it is not uncommon for a stroke of your pedals lack of juice. Or so you have to give an arm for high-end very expensive.
I stumbled on this block that a big advantage:
- An output of 3000 mA (!) Which is distributed throughout the chain and not divided into fixed output voltage limits. Thus, regardless of your pedals that uses 1500mA example, it can be fed as long as the total remains less than do the remaining power in 3000.
- Filter: Reduces electrical interference. For my part my pedals are quiet and I have no hum or other noise.
- Size: the block is really compact and can not take place on a pedalboard example
- Short-circuit protection against surges
And some disadvantages:
- Festoon cable which is less convenient than separate cables. Indeed this type of connection requires a good understanding of the pedals that can not be very distant from each other.
- A single cable that came with standard tips. For connections exotic style mini jack or other he must buy another chain optional.
Personally I use this configuration:
- Electro Harmonix Memory Boy
- Dunlop Cry Baby GCB-95
- Maxon OD-808
- Boss Chromatic Tuner TU-3
- Ibanez TK-999 Tube King Overdrive
This is the best value for money that I could find to feed my greedy TK-999 (180 mA) and all other pedals. In short, a choice that I recommend!
