Boss Power Supply Alternative

BillyIVbass · #1 08-11-2010, 08:22 PM

I've been thinking about powering my Boss TU-3 with the suggested Boss PSA-120s (is the recommended) Being able to power other pedals off of the tuner may also be something I'm interested in down the line.

Should I drop the $30 on this power supply or is their a better alternative? I really only see myself using the tuner > distortion > chorus and or synth pedal.

The 1spot adapter will give you room to expand your powering options to as many pedals as the 1500mA will allow, instead of the 500mA from the Boss Adapter which is the same price.

I use one of these out the back of my amp. It lets me use a 15 foot black extension cord giving me plenty of slack and I only need one outlet! Maybe you could pick one up when you order the 1Spot. Just be sure your amp has that kind of receptacle. It's the same as desktop computers use. Just a thought.

Never saw one of them. Looks a bit perverted, but practical.

Look like the 1-spot will even power my Zoom multifx, wasn't planning on using it live, but good to know I could. Same with my Tubescreamer and DOD pedals with the 1/8" jack.
