Sign in to disble this ad
So my BBE Supa Charger doesn't have enough 9V 200+ mA ports to power a couple of my pedals (Boss RC-20XL, EHX Bass Micro Synth, Source Audio Multiwave Bass Distortion Pro) so I need a power strip small enough to fit under my PT-JR so that I can use the wall warts. Any ideas? This look like it may get the job done: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...&s=electronics but the more feedback I get the better  . Thanks.

That does change things, doesn't it.  Maybe one solution would be to bolt the power strip to the outside back "face" of the board, with the outlets facing outward toward the audience? |

Of course his has been chopped and rewired, soldered, wire nutted, bubble-gummed and duct taped together (sorry scotch,...I think I'm clever  ) but it got me thinking outside of the powerstrip box. |

They have the flexibility and small size of the brown cable but more inputs. If I only ever needed just one more jack then I definitely grab one of those. I don't see myself ever owning more than 8 pedals so I think I'm good.
In any case Scotch's board is super slick, though I'm sure everyone knows that by now
