Rothko Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Are there any practical differences between this Harley Benton power supply with a DC external adapter https://www.thomann.de/intl/harley_benton_powerplant_iso_5_pro.htm and this AC one with a kettle lead https://www.thomann.de/intl/harley_benton_powerplant_iso_1ac_pro_modular.htm ? The DC one has slightly more power options, but a kettle lead feels a bit more robust. This will probably only power a couple of pedals at the most, but I want to be able to cover any future eventualities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpup Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) Personally I prefer a kettle lead - they just feel a bit more robust and there’s always a chance of an adaptor going pop at a gig.

Delberthot Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I've just bought the second one to power my higher powered pedals plus I can also power my HB Powerplant using an extension out of the other end of the Iso-1. So only 1 mains cable to plug in. I also agree that despite always looking after my gear I prefer the sturdier iec mains lead to a smaller adapter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rothko Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 OK, ta. The only advantage of the DC one is that it has 9/12/18v 500Ma option on a couple of the outs, while the kettled one is all 9v 500Ma. But I'm pretty unlikely to need 12v, and a kettle does feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
