I was talking to a friend last week about getting something like this for jams and small gigs. You said the exact thing in the video so now I have to get one. Will probably buy one for my friend too.
Hey Micheal fwiw some battery banks produce a thrumming noise when charging these as a backup. I have this one and the mission engineering unit and they both do it but just with some not all battery banks. I have accumulated several battery banks all of what I would call good quality and some make the noise others don’t. Just something to check just in case. Great playing as always!
Thanks! It’s slowly coming together. I woke up on it in my very minimal free time. I’m thinking maybe it will be an EP with longer tunes, then a 2nd compilation album of a bunch of the short demos.
If I’m not mistaken you can also get a power cable that’s split into two power connectors on one end, thus if a pedal needs more than 100mha you can feed it from two slots of the power supply. This is a great choice for a small pedalboard, thank you for the demo.
There’s two different types of cables that do this, there’s one that doubles current and one that doubles voltage, for instance my OCD can operate with 18v so I got the cable that doubles the voltage, but there’s a different cable that doubles the current, I don’t know enough to understand the difference between the two but just make sure you’re purchasing the correct cable for your application if you need more current and use the voltage doubling cable your pedal won’t work at best and might fry it worse case.
The main benefit here are those pesky ground loops. I always have grounding problems because my rig is basically a combination of Steve Lukather and the edge. I'm about to switch to using dual power supplies one for all the pedals that go in the front of the amp and another one for all the pedals that go in the back of the amp into the effects loop. Batteries have always solved the problem.
I'm using one to power both my HX and my Freedman irx. Problem I ran into with rechargeable is that with no cord, you have no Earth's ground, so it ended up being extremely noisy. I ended up having to buy a ground strap to ground my panel board
So I’m assuming this would solve the noise issues I have running a power supply hooked to a wall wart ? I was looking at rechargeable power supplies for pedals it seems like only last year and they were all incredibly expensive so I thought I’d wait a couple years and now this looks like it’s at a price that I could justify. I’ve went back to running my pedals off 9v batteries and am I the only one who loathes disconnection the input cables from each pedal or come back to dead batteries ?
You're probably better off buying a rechargeable Joyo JP-05 for around the same money. it has 8 DC outputs, 4 x 100ma 9v, 3 x 500ma 9v and 1 switchable to 9v, 12v or 18v at 100ma. You're lucky the Tonex works with 300 as it requires 320mA so if it starts behaving strange you'll know why. 300 mA is not enough to run many digital pedals. Ox stomp for example needs 400 mA. Ocean machine delay requites 500 mA

Thanks! That's great info!
Your playing is always incredible! When can we expect an album?

Yeah, no kidding, killer playing and feel.

I'm using a solutek and it has one extra 12 volt 1000mah output. It easily handles both my HX Stomp and my Freedman irx

Same here. I have LOTS going on in the studio, so having a totally isolated power supply if very helpful sometimes!
What a great concept. Thanks!
Sounds like a good deal Brother and boldly Named!! Keep Rocking Brother your Music-In-Law 🤘🎸🤠
Such feel…people should take note …of the notes

Nice demo Michael, but regarding a wireless power supply it would have been very helpful knowing the time it lasted before needing recharge.
I had it running for over 2 hours and didn’t run out. It’s hard to say exactly because it’ll be different depending on the power draw from the pedals
The Joyo JP-05 is prob a better option in this area.

Neural DSP should make this for Quad - then they could add hardware to also run their plugins in the same box. Just dreaming aloud…
