Powered Pedalboard for multi-effects

Johnatorium

This is probably in the wrong area, but anyway.....

Can anyone recommend a decent powered pedalboard for stickin a few pedals on. Getting sick of luggin all my pedals around and hookin everything up, everytime i'm using them, so i wanna throw everything (or most of them) onto one powered board.

It really depends on what pedals you're using and the power supply each pedal needs.
If it's just 9V across all pedals behringer do some decent boards with integrated power for a good price.

Check out the link for some of the better stuff though.

How about a boss BCB 60??? I used 2 of them side by side. 6 stomp boxes or 4 and a, maybe, Crybaby? Or if you mess around with the sponge flooring or replace it you can get 5 and a crybaby.

http://www.diago.co.uk/ I use the gigman, able to fit 10 boss style effects on it grand, its a bit of a balls because the back isnt raised. Pics on the post your instrument forum, page 23, near the bottom

T rex tonetrunk or pedaltrain might be good options, as they're slanted, and you can put the power supply under, without taking up valuable pedal room

any idea on the price of the diago boards?

Cheers for the replies. I decided to go with the " Gator Mega Bone". Looks decent.....and cheap enough too!

I got a Showman in Guitar Centre on Exchequer Street for €160. Great board, really solid. The flatness of the board never bothered me, you can just lay your pedals out so nothing's in the way of the switches.

Why do you want a powered board specifically OP? You get a lesser board and a lesser power supply. I got a Diago Shoman board and a Diago Powerstation separately, both much better quality than their integrated counterparts.

best board for a mix of 9 and 18v?

You can get these yokes from Diago that use a 'charge pump' (whatever that is) to 'boost' the 9v output from their (or most other) power supply up to 18v. Last accessory in the list underneath the all the photos;

Is that in any way different than... ummm... "native" 18v?

Thanks for that info BTW!

!NONE of my pedals seem to be listed on their chart... Mostly Maxon stuff!

I don't know about the difference, the reason I used quotations was 'cause I don't like when people use words like 'pump' and 'boost' that have nothing to do with how electronics work :pac:

Just make sure that the pedals take DC and use the same polarity as the power supply you're using (most are centre-negative) , and that you've got enough current for them. Don't worry about their list.
