Power Supply with AC?

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm looking for a power supply that has an AC plug on it, in addition to the adaptors for the pedals. Reason being is that I'm using a BassBone in the front of the whole thing, and unless someone can fill me in (I'm still very much an effects newbie), I have to use their adaptor.

So, is there a power supply that has an AC plug that is reliable? I know the Voodoo Lab PP 2+ has one, but didn't know if there were any other viable options out there.

I know I could probably also get a One Spot, and then keep a power strip in the pedal board to plug that and the BassBone adapter in, but I'd rather not go that route. Thanks in advance.

I've been looking at upgrading from a 1spot having just discovered that a new pedal is very susceptible to noise when daisy-chained with a digidelay. In my travels I found the BBE Supa Charger, which is similar to the PP2+ but has a few extra tricks up its sleeve, including outputs that are switchable to 16v. The Radial stuff uses 15v power supplies, but I found a thread where someone was talking about using a radial pedal powered by the 16v out with no problems. I can't guarantee that this will work for the bassbone, but if it does, it saves you an extra wallwart, and some $ too, because the BBE is $99 in a lot of places. Also switchable from 110 to 240v if you're travelling. I'd suggest checking it out.

The T-Rex Fuel Tank has a 12VAC outlet, along with a 12VDC and eight 9VDC outlets. Another cool thing is there is no wall wart. It has its own regular IEC-style wall plug. It pretty much rules, as it should for $200. One just sold in the ads for $139, but they don't come up often.

I think Gator makes one. I'm actually very certain of it. Middle of the road price-wise.

Oh, and Munjibunga. Concerning your signature, the answer is: we're all doomed.

Really? I kinda felt it would be really cool if someone proved it, you know, "The results of today's 3.5 TeV collision in the Large Hadron Collider conclusively prove that the Hokey Pokey actually is what it's all about."

I think the OP is talking about an power outlet on the power supply, as found on the PP2+, because he wants to run a Radial Bassbone off it. I don't think he meant a reduced-voltage AC supply for pedals requiring an AC feed, as on the T-rex.

Steve, that's exactly it. I'd like to be able to plug the BassBone into the same power supply that is running the pedals.

I'll definitely check out the SupaCharger. Thanks for the info!

Which begs the question, what is The Hokey Pokey?

Is it just a silly dance or is it a metaphor for a nihilist phlosophy?

And BTW, if, as sagely writen by John Lennon, Nothing is real, what relevence has The Hokey Pokey anyways?
