The mother of all power supplies?

Just saw THIS at the local geetar store last night. Looks like it would be a decent solution for guy who are currently running two PP2s.

Discuss.

It's available on Sears.com... Doesn't that seem a little strange?

I've seen and known about this power supply....It's nice but it's BIG. If you have the pedalboard real estate, go for it, but personally I like using several smaller supplys that are easier to tuck and hide away.

For $250, I would get 2 Dunlop Bricks or possibly 3 if you need it (That comes to an even $300)

It seems to be as high and as deep as a Pedal Power or a Supa Charger, so the standard Pedaltrain mounting brackets should fit it, at least with a bit of modification.

i have one. it is really cool as a way of powering my tiny board. (irony? hell yeah) My favorite part about it is that i used the 18 volt outlet on accident with my Blue Box, which sounds heavenly.

Might be nice for a Pedaltrain Pro.
Is about the cost of 2 Bricks.
Nice to have all those jacks in one unit.

You would think with a ginormous chassis like that they'd be able to provide a lot more flexibility and power output options. For example, you still cannot power the larger Line6 boxes with this so even though you have a huge power supply you're back to needing a dedicated AC power adapter for your Line6 M9/etc. And it still only has a single courtesy outlet.

It's too big. I'd rather have 2 smaller units.

their website is a store front for "Music Factory Direct". you won't find any of the gear on a shelf in their stores.

Brains...need brainsss!

(thread exactly one year old shy of 5 days)

I never did see this unit, but it appears to be available. Anyone ever pick one up?

I still think the GigRig solution is hands down the best possible pedalboard power supply ever, and if you're needing to power many high current pedals that'd be ze way to go.

Sears: Online department store featuring appliances, tools, fitness equipment and more

That unit is showing $100 off now, so it's $199.99.
