Members StratoSlacker Posted May 3, 2008 Members Share Posted May 3, 2008 Can I get a few recommendations for a smaller to medium pedal board that has a built in power source. Needs to hold and power a good handful of pedals. If it doubles as a case or storage box great, if not that's OK too. I'm looking for the best cross between low price and quality. At long last, I'm assembling a collection of stomp boxes...sold all my old stuff and I'm starting fresh. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members StratoSlacker Posted May 3, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 3, 2008 i like that too, but that's more than i want to spend. maybe i could find a used one. wonder what the lighted logo looks like. doesn't sound desirable! good alliteration though.

Well really, if you want to keep it cheap you can get a Rondo case and a 1-Spot that probably wouldn't cost you over $60. http://www.rondomusic.com/pdc410c.html http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Visual-Sound-1-SPOT-SpaceSaving-9V-Adapter?sku=151686 The Pedal Pad stuff looks like a great product, though. I would trust their power supplies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JBecker Posted May 3, 2008 Members Share Posted May 3, 2008 Why do you want the power supply built in? You're probably not saving any money or space over buying a separate power supply and board. You're going to need to spend around the same amount to still get a decent power supply that's not a useless brick. I wouldn't want it built in because if you want to move to another board, larger or smaller, you just lost your power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pedal Pad has a removable power supply you can move with your stuff, but stuff like the SKB/Furman boards are pretty much stuck for that.

Members cdawzrd Posted May 3, 2008 Members Share Posted May 3, 2008 If you want an upgrade from the 1-spot, get a Gator G-bus for like $80... It's worked out great for me, not noisy at all and so far, really dependable. I use that with a Pedaltrain 2, but you could go with a PT-JR to save money... You can find them used for under $100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rinkrat6821 Posted May 3, 2008 Members Share Posted May 3, 2008 how much better is a voodoo labs pedal power two over the original?? Could never figure this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cdawzrd Posted May 3, 2008 Members Share Posted May 3, 2008 how much better is a voodoo labs pedal power two over the original?? Could never figure this out. It adds more support for nonstandard (non 9v boss-style) pedals, and I think it has a slightly higher power rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, great value imo. A few people have experienced noise issues with their particular rigs, but I think that's the exception, not the rule.
