Thanks for love on this!!
I never thought I was going to watch a video about power strips but here we are
I totally understand. Lol
I'm so glad you said it was 14 gauge because I couldn't get that answer anywhere else. THANK YOU.
I love useful tools like this. I also have their string cutter/peg winder. Handy little device.
i have a bunch of the regular ones, they work but that’s about it. the design on this is more practical for sure. i’ll have to replace one of my beater power strips. thanks Phil
Thanks for introducing me to this! This has JUST the right amount of "gimmicks" (don't mean that in a bad way) while still being well built and super functional!
Great video!😀
Outstanding and a good lead next time I'm ready to upgrade the voltage strip.
Thank you. It is an important item a lot of people don't think about. After over 30 years I just finally bought a power conditioner after we suffered a "Brown-Out " that fried a motor in my lathe, luckily my amps and other electronics weren't on at the time, but they would have fried as well.
A low power event can hurt just as much as a spike, so power conditioners and UPS devices will save $$$$ in that event.
Something to keep in mind “power conditioning” can mean any number of nebulous things. The only thing that can help with a brownout is a voltage regulator. UPSes contain voltage regulators but you have to be careful they reproduce a true sinewave output, not a stairstepped sinewave, for audio production use. You can also get voltage regulators without the battery backup and they will also include typical “power conditioning” features like RFI/EMI filtering and surge suppression. Furman makes rackmount voltage regulators and they are always more expensive than standard “power conditioners”.
Nice, but I like the longer 15 foot cord on the Furman. It takes up a smaller space in my cord & pedal case too.
One often overlooked item is what voltage your house/studio/etc is actually putting out. In the US we all assume it’s 120V, but it can actually vary widely and it doesn’t take much excess voltage to wear down your amp’s power tubes or transformers prematurely, especially if it’s a vintage/vintage-style amp. There are a couple of products out there that can help manage that sort of thing.
First time I paid real attention to your amp rack in awhile; Love the Dump Truck book and the Tick head persionalizations. I use mostly Rack mounted power conditioners(Furman & ART) to feed most of my gear and a couple computer focused UPS's to go between the wall and racks. My gear is home and studio, so I dont need to worry about transportable.
Sweetwater ran out before I could checkout using your affiliate link. So I sent you a superchat during the live show yesterday.
Thanks for all you do Phil!
I just looked around, and I have $2500 of various electronics plugged into two strips from Wal-Mart. Phil is a river unto his people.
Excellent review, Phil! I was looking the Furman, but you convinced me to try the D'Addario!
now thats a user friendly well made power strip thanks for showing us...
Picked one of these up about a month ago and it's very useful on stage.
This is literally what I've been looking for. Thanks for this one, Phil. I been needing a power supply for a pedalboard for a good while now.
Just get a Cioks or a True Tone 1spot CS7
Thank you for the review. I was looking for a power strip and almost went with a Phillips from Walmart. Glad I didn't, bought one through you link.
Love the design, but didn’t buy it because of no mention of RFI MFI filter on their website when looking when it was introduced. Did they come out with a new version?
I use other brands that claim rfi and mfi and they definitely make a difference. But sometimes add a dedicated Morley Hum Exterminator which gets rid of most speaker hiss on even the most finicky amps that usually have a loud hiss.
It’s adds cost for every amp and makes such a difference. More often using portable power supplies for areas with limited AC, shows in a parks, and that seems to work well. Wish I knew more about the electronics of power and what was really needed, as I often feel that I spend too much for things not needed.
Thanks for another great video!
Thank you! My home studio's power conditioner works well. One of those D'Addarios seems well worth the cost. For a newbie who needs to buy a surge protecting power strip anyway, the real setback is just $36 - $15 = $21. Great deal for better protected gear and good noise reduction.
Those are cool. I have 3 of the Furman units but if I ever need another power strip I'll try one of these.
I have 2 of those Furman's and I'm confident in them but I really like the 5-3 split setup and wide flat base..and less $ .. better design for sure 😃..I'm convinced that will be my next unit
Nicely done Phil, great info. The info about why only three receptacles on one side is so needed. Thank you
Thank you for this, Phillip! I just picked up two of them from your link, and I'm hoping the EMI/HFI filtering is robust.
Bought two for my new music room at home through the link. Thanks Phil!
Top tip/review Phil. Thanks for taking the time. 👍🥃Respect to you mate.
Great! I have a cheesy power strip that I'll happily swap out for this one!
My favorite UA-camr! Always happy to see a new video!
Thanks Phil, I've been looking at the Furman strips as an upgrade for awhile and didn't know D'addario made these.
The cord wrap is smart as hell.
I actually bought the D'addario power strip a couple of months ago. I like it how it lays flatter and doesn't roll.
It looks SO MUCH like the generic power strip sold at home depot and big lots. But since it says daddario it's premium (bs) now. Side note; fender also began marketing a power strip that was identical to the Furman strip you mentioned here. I guess to cater to the leo fender purist needing a power strip akin to those available at any Walmart but with more vintage tonal qualities. Good topic though 👍(After initially posting this comment, I found the exact copy of this power strip on Amazon by a store named CRST. Different versions have USB outlets and a longer cord. Daddario is full of crap. By all means buy one especially if it helps Phil and this great channel to keep going. But let's call companies out for rebranding a product just for the sake of pandering to a certain market. Thank you Phil for everything you do 💯
Thanks Phil. I was looking for something exactly like this...your video had absolutely .perfect timing.
My bass rig's power will now be complete.
Your the best man. Watch you all the time. Love the channel. Thanks for doing what you do.
You are a wealth of knowledge.
All very much appreciated. Thank you.
Hey hey Phil... I'm a long time user of Furman Power Conditioners & Strips since the 80's, including that SS 6 brick... which I think is awesome since it's got a smaller footprint and great for my pedal board and amp for a smash gig... it's just is easier to transport inside my pedal board bag, but I also have that D'Addario one... very convenient outlet spacings... use it mostly in the studio... it's AWESOME! 😎🤘🎸
Funny enough I was thinking of a getting something to power my amps and this video just happen to sell me on this power base. Thank you Phill for the recommendation.
Didn’t know these existed since I’m new to the electric guitar scene. Thanks for the review. Nice product.
I’ve had the D’Addario on my SW list for awhile now. Have the Furman and haven’t been impressed. In fact, I’ve had a few instances at shows where I had some issues with it. I’ll let SW know you influenced me to order a few!
My issue with the daddario is lack of rmi and EMI filtering. Which can cause issues while doing shows as you'll have lights and other devices that will create extra noise in your amps and other sound equipment.
Thanks Phil!
the D'Addario sounds like a good choice
I like some of the features the Power Base has.
I just grabbed one. Seems like it solves several problems that I didn't even realize I had!
This was a great video. I had no idea something like this existed..
Great video I been looking at that power supply for about a year now, thanks again Phil
Nobody ever talks about it because it's not a guitar, or an amp. Who cares. Well, you should care because your power sourceis the most important thing in your chain. And Phil is right. Using a cheap power strip is the riskiest thing you can do (except for maybe standing in a puddle of water while plugged in). This is a case where price does matter. A step up is a conditioner that keeps your voltage constant.
I'm gonna go crush some cans and order one from Sweetwater.
Good demo and review........Thanks
Thank you for the review.
I looked at this unit on Sweetwater and I looked at my phone notifications and saw Phil has done a video on it
That’s a legit tool! Great Father’s Day gift idea too
I wonder how the noise suppression compares to a proper rackmount power conditioner.
Right in the market for one of those now!
the furman works pretty good
Cool. Thanks 🙏
Nice product for sure
Philip, you are truly prolfic brother!
As a completely non-touring musician, is this the “home” alternative to the rack-mounted power conditioners all musicians seem to use?
I would say no. Rack gear is better for home use since it’s large and heavy and never has to be moved. These units are good but power conditioners are better
Def need that for my amps.
I never was really sold on those kind of power blocks, I run 2 rack mount power conditioners. A Carvin ac120s and ART power conditioner. I really like these as I noticed the noise floor dropped quite a bit on my amps and pedal board (powered by a Cioks DC7&8) all this made for a much quieter system for me. Any thoughts?
Love to see more of these videos, Cheers!
Great info Phillip. Can I ask - Where do you get your Amp Rack Furniture? ( I love it ) - Thanks in advance from NYC
Nice Phil cool video 😁🎸🎶
Excellent tip
Thank you
I need one of these!!
Goddammit! now I gotta get one!
Looks very interesting!, but I have a question, If I use a Line 6 Pod Go with 3 another pedals, should I get one of those or a power supply? What would you recommend?
I had bought something similar but saw he had the 665 likes had to add one more \M/!!!! And obviously saw the video
Quick question, how close can the E strings be to the edge of the fretboard without it being a problem. Also could you move the bridge slightly to the left or right to fix it or will that just cause more problems?
Question: Is this isolated power strip like Furman?
Does anyone know why it has those big round holes on the left side that you can see looking from the top?
Cool!! 8) --gary
what kind of shelfs are those that your amps are on? Thanks
I went to the Sweetwater site through your affiliate link. The listing there does not mention any EMI or RF filtering. Does this unit really do those tasks?
Yes it does, I tested it just to make sure
Any chance for these to come in EU or UK style plugs. If soo might buy them immediately.
@@retroman541 technically they will work but then I have to buy dozens of adapter for each powered speakers and gears. That will be quite hectic. Also power handling capacity will be compromised.
Enjoyed your video, but...As a retired IT and Electronics professional who has played guitar all my life, I feel obligated to warn you and the other people watching here that this power strip may protect equipment from a relatively slow power company surge, but it IS NO MATCH for anything fast like lightning or even a power company high voltage spike. (Those events are just too fast!). You have to pay much more than 40 bucks for power equipment that is specifically designed and rated to protect from an extremely fast surge or lightning. Fuses and breakers, once again, are just TOO SLOW...by the time they blow or trip your equipment is already fried. Also in most cases amplifiers, computers and other equipment already have electronics (surge suppression) built-in to protect the electronics from basic slow power surges...so slow surge protection is not normally a big issue. I highly suggest you and the other people using this channel first use common sense and shut down your equipment (or even unplug from the circuitry you are using unless you are an independently wealthy gambler and believe you can predict where lightning will flow during a direct or nearby strike. Personally, when I hear thunder I unplug or isolate everything I don't want fried, PERIOD. (In 71 years I have only had one piece of equipment fried and that was over 40 years ago...I learned the hard way, foolishly.)
...aaaaand sold out.
First🎸🎸🎸🎸
Def need those for my amps.
