My old Sabine tuner had an extra DC jack too and a little lead, i used to power my Hartke VXL off it for a nice neat mini-board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51m0n Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 How about this [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/gator_g_bus_8_multi_power_supply.htm"]Gator G-Bus 8 multi power supply[/url] at £57 from Thomann. Best price I've found a serious power supply (ie with 9v and 18v outputs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never realised that they were so expensive!!! any suggestions? cheers[/quote] Maplin do one for about £19 I'm using it on my board and it works great, no noise. More than enough for your needs I reckon. here's the link [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?moduleno=31292"]http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?moduleno=31292[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CYDbass Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) I looked at the one from Maplins and initially thought the same as a few here, you must really only get what you pay for at £19. But since reading the couple that said it was ok (combined with my local music shop telling me they were out of stock of power banks and would be for a month) I think I'll take the plunge on one! Will report back tomorrow if I get the chance to go to Maplin! Thanks for the advice everyone, for a first power brick I think I'll risk it Edited February 22, 2010 by CYDbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Identical in operation to the Diago supply that sells for 60 quid, myself and many others on this forum use them and they are brilliant. Better, IME, than the Maplin one, but that's not bad either. The one linked above however is small, has multivoltage input, and can supply a LOT of current while maintaining a quiet output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) Hi chaps Im after a power supply for my Tech 21 BDDI, (if I use it non-DI) Aguilar Tone Hammer, (18v again if I use it non-DI) and the new TC Electronic Polytune. Is it worth me buying a power supply? Or should I stick to batteries? I have seen the Tech 21 and Aguilar power supplies, and they are upto £40 for both....so may as well get a brick or stick to batteries. Which is the best power brick for about £60 that can do 9v and 18v? Cheers PS The Polytune manual says: Power in- use a 9 VDC power supply Power out- If you use an external power supply you may use PolyTunesTM power out to daisy-chain power to other pedals. • Do NOT connect an external power supply to POWER OUT. This could cause malfunction or damage to PolyTuneTM. Current draw on daisy-chained pedals may not exceed 2A. • Be sure that your power supply delivers sufficient power to cover the power consumption of all pedals. • Place PolyTuneTM before drive and distortion pedals for best tuner indication. the receiver.

CYDbass Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Well, I went for the Maplin one and I'm plesently surprised Apart from it being rather much of a big bugger (a lot larger than I was expecting anyway...insert your own gag here...) it seems very good. Solid case, little or no hum. Rated at 75mA per output and for my individual stompboxes that's fine. A good verdict then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
