    We like to play music with our friends in a local park. I looked at lots of power supplies before settling on the Jackery. I was all set to buy the 240 here but Jackery had a cyber-Monday deal this past Christmas and the Jackery 300 was the same price as the 240. I like the fact that the 300 has two outlets. On a full charge we ran my Fender Rumble 100 bass amp and a Roland Cube 30 for over 3 hours and only used up 25% of the charge (admittedly at fairly low volume). I'm pretty sure we could add a power strip to run another amp and/or a small PA. I'm very pleased with the Jackery. It will come in handy during power failure season here in Northern California too.

      That's great to hear man, this little thing has been so reliable so it's not hard to imagine the next one up powering a small band for a few hours, very nice 👌

      thanks for your comment, that makes me wonder if I can plug my Bose L1 Pro 8, my Tc Helicon, and my line 6 HX stomp for a few hours before running out of power.

      My Boss GT1000 easily lasts all day. (4 - 6 hours worth of actual playing).
      To the best of my knowledge, this might fit your needs but maybe you'd need to step it up to the next model (my amp powers itself so I don't need it to power more than just my pedal board).

    • @AaronCarrington
      @AaronCarrington  Рік тому +1

      I see no reason for it not to work, it's just a question of how long. With this particular model there's only one plug socket so you'd need an extension lead. Or you can consider the model above which if my memory serves me well, has two plug sockets.

    • @AaronCarrington
      @AaronCarrington  Рік тому +1

      Thanks! I've not had the chance to power that exact amp but it generally powers anything that you can plug into a wall socket. The question is how long it will power it for. That depends specifically on whatever is being powered. I use it purely for my pedalboard because my amp powers itself. Also, there are more powerful versions of the Jackery if you find this one doesn't have enough juice.

    Hi dude, do you know if either this unit or the Volto would power up the TC Helicon acoustic play on the street, by that I mean, would I have to buy a specific adaptor to fit the TC or are they all just bog standard adaptors that would fit any pedal board?

    • @AaronCarrington

      I've not used the volto, I've just seen people with it so can't comment on that. However, the Jackery has a standard UK plug socket so as long as your pedal board has one of those you're good to go.

      You can use it for both pedal and speaker (or anything else you might plug into a UK wall socket). But if you want to use it for both at the same time you'll need to use an extension lead to split one plug into two. I personally use it for just the pedal because my speaker powers itself.

    • @AaronCarrington
      @AaronCarrington  11 днів тому

      In my setup, the amp I use for busking (Bose S1) is self-powered, - the Jackey powers the GT-1000 pedal board only most of the time. Although I have used it to power the Bose S1 too (briefly when it ran out or power). I haven't busked in quite a while so I can't remember if there was a buzz or not, I don't remember one - sorry to hear it didn't work for you :(
