Surge protector question

[bassbassbass12345]

This feels like a dumb question but I've got about 6 wall warts connected to a surge protector and was wondering if instead of plugging and unplugging to turn the pedals on/off, if leaving everything plugged into the surge protector and turning the whole thing on and off via the surge protector power switch would be harmful to the pedals. My surge protector is inside my rack so getting to it is kind of annoying (extreme first world problem) and it would be dope if I could just flick a switch instead of navigating the wire jungle but I wasn't sure if that would mess with the pedals at all

No.

You should power them down with the switch.

Get a remote master-switch for the surge protector.

Any competent shop in your area should be able to whip one up for you. If you know how to solder, you can DIY.

You could even just plug the conditioner into a small power strip (or even a one-socket power cord) that has its own power switch and place said small strip in a convenient easily accessible location in your rack, ie at the back near the top — no soldering or costly service fee required.

If your Power conditioner has an on / off switch save your money and use that It won't hurt anything.
