Members badpenguin Posted November 1, 2020 Members Share Posted November 1, 2020 This may seem silly or weird, but I have a few multi effect pedals, and nothing has a power switch. I use them mostly thru the board when recording, and, I don't know, it would be nice to hit a switch, instead of crawling around, looking for the damp plug after dropping it at 3:ooam, or unplugging the wall wart, which is BEHIND the desk of course, then go to crawling on the floor again. What happened to a simple ON/OFF switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators daddymack Posted November 2, 2020 Moderators Share Posted November 2, 2020 costs money and uses up real estate...I have not seen a power switch on an effect since the late 70s...most devices are triggered via the in jack, so yeah, ya gotta unplug everything...or, if you are on a daisy chain, consider keeping the power strip where you can reach it. PITA either way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted November 10, 2020 Members Share Posted November 10, 2020 I have a power switch on a storage drive that kinda makes it not whir so much. I don't completely grasp how that works yet but the point is you can add switches right after the power supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Headlow Posted November 30, 2020 Members Share Posted November 30, 2020 Picked up a Line 6 HX Effects and it is a rarity in that it does have a power switch. Pretty sure my old M13 did too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted December 1, 2020 Members Share Posted December 1, 2020 Big units with some kind of operating system would tend to have a power switch. Maybe it's the higher voltage although a lot of high end equipment just gets left on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
