Pedal board powerstrips with long cords

[King David]

Does anyone know of a good powerstrip with a long cord say 10-12 feet?

I think the only way you'll find a pre-made one is at a contractor-supply type of hardware store. Most consumer grade power strips are not made using gauges of wire and insulation that would be legal at those lengths.

That said, it's very easy to make your own! Just get a power strip and an extension cord and solder them together, being of course sure to use insulating shrink-tubing over the joints.

Either that, or you could simply keep the extension cord separate.

The only power strips I've seen with long cords are gigantic ones that are meant for office cubicles.

Just add on a heavy-duty extension cord - it's far more practical, and it's what I do for gigs. I wouldn't go as far as soldering them together because it'd be much easier to store if it remained separate.

15 ft. power cord. ~$20.

I guess I should've clarified...

I haven't seen anything narrow with a long cord that wasn't huge. The Furman SS-6B is pretty bulky and hogs up a lot of space on a pedalboard... although it does do the trick.

I was gonna say this, as well. It is bulky, but a good power strip with some bonus features.
