New Pedal Power Day

[jtcnj]

Another try at cheap but quiet pedal power. This claims to be isolated.
I considered the Caline unit popular in the Great White North, which seems to be similar or the same as Donner, or several similar out there.

But I went with this one for under $40 USD:




Running it along with a One Spot
Only tried it as above, quiet so far.
Re-routed the power setup but will plug it all in this evening.
Took almost 2 weeks to arrive.

Looks like a nice unit.

 

[Session 5]

Nice unit, and inexpensive at that.

I'm always skeptical about very inexpensive knockoffs, but this product constantly gets decent reviews. In fact, I did not find a single negative review by anybody who actually has one of these...

EXACTAMUNDO Mr. Groovy Beach Greg!!

Just hope it lasts a while.
I'll check it out fully loaded in about 5 long hours.


I've been wanting a decent power source for years now.
Silly as it sounds, I'm really excited and hope this is a winner.
If not I will concede a cheapskates defeat and buy Voodoo or something in the $100 range.
Power!!

Good luck time will tell. I have found the wallwort power supplies are the weak link

 

[jtcnj]

Thanks, I have some other 12vdc ones as backup.
Have to check the capacity and the connector polarity if or when that time comes.

Congrats on your new power supply! :dood:

Cool deal - I think I'm going to ear mark that for a purchase in the not to distant future, as part of my hoping to play with real people again project

 

[Mitch Pearrow SJMP]

I am behind the times here, I only have 2 overdrive pedals, and a wha, they seldom get any use, and are still on battery power.
Congratulations on your new power supply brother, be sure and give a full rundown on it.
Cheers Mitch

 

[Mr Grumpy]

Yep, nice looking unit, so hope it works out for you.

I paid decent money for the MXR brick, and am not overly impressed by it - average, some pedals get along with it, some do not; wouldn't buy it again. If this one works well at this price then you've got a bargain there...

 

[jtcnj]

So far, this is working out really well.

I usually on have on a little reverb and / or delay, sometimes compressor,
and 1 or 2 dirt pedals tops. Mostly 1 or 2 at a time.
I pick and choose what I have on at any time.
My board is a bunch of cheap pedals I wanted to try the effect.

The main thing is this power supply is dead quiet, no hum or hiss from it.
When my amps are turned up, they have a noise floor that is pretty quiet, but it is there when not playing.
Dirt pedals can add a little more hiss or amplify the amp.
The power supply is not introducing any additional noise.

So far, it is a winner, hope it lasts.

 

[Mr Grumpy]

Good stuff; it's great when you get something you need at a reasonable price and it just works!

 

[67plexi]

Hears you a good version of the Rover song

 

[jtcnj]

My power supply has worked great the last 6 months.
I went looking to buy a 2nd and they are not found

 

[jtcnj]

Took a chance on what looks to be the same unit in different packaging.
Have reservations about buying anything from China these days, but I suppose it is somewhat unavoidable.
Price is up $9. and cant avoid the sales tax, but here goes:

8 Isolated short circuit and over current protection can ensure the stable working condition; supports self-protection mode, and it will auto-restart in about 2s once you unplug the short-circuited pedal.

I think the blue one you have is discontinued.
They do a black one that I can get through Amazon UK, but there are no power supplies listed on the Ammoon website.

Oops. You just beat me to it!!!

 

[jtcnj]

I got the Ammoon version today.
Used it with 2 pedals; my Biyang reverb pedal had some hiss with the One Spot and is quiet on this one.
And the TC Mojomojo I got from @Sp8ctre Chris recently.
I will load it up and see what happens; so far so good.

Hahahahaha! I have a reverb pedal just like that!

 

[Ramo]

I really want to get this , every time I try to buy something comes up and I end up using money on that and not pedal power.
In U.S. is Friedman and Mesa stuff more cheaper then U.K. ?
