t-rex fuel tank jr question

Sign in to disble this ad
at the moment I'm using a 1spot to power up my pedal board (tc electronic polytune, t-rex sweeper, mxr phase 90, and a boss ge7) and it sucked the tone and volume a little bit, alothough it doesn't do this when I use the 1spot for one pedal, could be the patch leads.

now getting to the fuel tank jr.. would it power these pedals up well and not suck my tone or volume?

Yes and no, respectively.

Hey Rob thebassman, I got a fuel tank jr. to power 4 effects and it's great.
This power supply is made to make you happy, don't worry It will make your effects work properly. Don’t care about volume or anything else. I’m really happy with the fueltank

I'm going to suggest that it's possibly a combination of buffered pedals and poor quality patch cables?

BTW, I've also used a Fuel Tank (original) in the past with no problems, and to save space I changed to a One-Spot which has also been fine.
