Brand new to this forum guys...so hi... Just wondered if anyone has experience of rig power distribution or conditioners? I have been thinking about getting one as I'm currently gigging in Saudi Arabia and the compounds I play on have dubious mains voltages at best!! Furman seem to be the best but seem overly expensive for what they are! I've also looked at Samson and ART. ART seem to be quite good as they are reasonably priced and provide units up to 15 amps 1800 watts, which I reckon would be ample for what I'm running (Hartke 3500 with SWR Goliath 4X10, rack tuner and an X2 rack wireless) I would appreciate your thoughts/advice/input on this as I'm sure there must be a lot of players out there that use this type of system. Thanks!

I've found that that maplin rechargable 9v PP3 batteries last about as long as I need them to. I have a Status S2 Classic bass with an 18vdc active pick up system and an X2 rack mounted digital wireless system. The bass really isn't a prob (2 batteries will last for ages) but the wireless transmitter was eating batteries to the extent of about 4 per gig. However, using the maplin PP3's (fully charged) if I'm lucky 1 will last a full nights giging, 2 at a push, so in my experience (such as it is!!) those maplin rechargeables are worth a go!
