Is there an advantage to a guitar affects power supply versus just a good power strip and typical 9V power adapters?

When I used typical 9V power adapters for my distortion pedals, I got a lot of noise coming through. The T-Rex Chameleon eliminated the noise. The T-Rex gives you other voltage options as well, which is nice for pedals that require more than 9V. The T-Rex Chameleon is fairly compact and able to be put nicely onto a pedalboard, such as the Pedaltrain Mini.

There are so many advantages it is difficult to start but they include neatness and reliability. Even the best 'Wall Warts' can fall out of a power strip. Cheap ones can also catch fire if you leave them on accidentally so add safer as well. I have three of these in different places where I use a few effects together. The best power supply that I have found.

No advantage really. As long as your adapters work fine the only advantage that a single supply has is space on your pedal board. Also if you are moving your pedal board a lot, power adapters can fall out of the power strip. If you only have one or two power adapters, stay with that solution.

Yes... how many of those big bulky wall warts do you want to mess with? This unit is compact and has been able to take care of every power requirement on my pedal board.

Yes, there are a number of advantages: less space taken up on your pedalboard; less things to carry around; has other voltage options, including AC power (yes, AC), which was required for my Line 6 delay. I'm really glad I bought the T-Rex Chameleon.

A regular guitar cord. If you are talking about a power supply, check with Boss - you can get a stand alone plug or a powered pedal strip...

I'm sure it depends on your selection of power supply but the biggest problem I have had is bundling up left over cables.

The internal Power Supply is the switching type (electronic Pulse width modulated, high frequency), so it's pretty safe and immune to most electrical fluctuations, it's fuse protected and internal voltages are electronically regulated and monitored, besides that, internal circuitry is isolated from any line voltages by components typically rated for several thousand volts, so there should be no risk of interactions. The power cable is the grounded type so that's another good point. I use mine all the time and never noticed any glitches, overheating or any other problems.

I plug into a 150 W monitor. Not a problem one. have never tried the Guitar amp.I will try an Ampeg Bass amp when I get back home. I can let you know later. I will say I love what the unit can do.

Your going to need a amp, power station, and many other cords. I went to guitar center and they said it'd be cheaper to buy a new one than get that one working

It has more than enough power. You wouldn't use the full power of this amp.

MOST guitar pedals are 9V, center NEGATIVE. So you'd probably need to cut the wire, reconnect with reverse polarity. If you can solder and use heat shrink tubing, this is a good value. Otherwise check out the Snark -9V power supply for guitar pedals.

If you're ever unsure about an adaptor for what ever you'll be using it for, take the guitar effect or what ever device it is to a Radio Shack or some place like that and ask them what is the best adaptor for it. It's worth the effort so you don't fry your equipment. You don't want that electrical burning smell, hope that helps.

Hi. You can use any regular 9-volt pedal power supply. You'd have to ask the folks at VOX why they don't supply one

It doesn't matter which Amp out put to charge on, it takes longer on .9 than on 1.8 but you can use both.

If your guitar is a simple one or a cheap one then yes would be my answer - assuming you mean guitar-&gt; pre amp-&gt; USB interface. If using better quality equipment or you have a humbucker pickup on your guitar then you may get too much signal resulting in some unwanted distortion.

It makes it easy to connect the guitar to an amplifier or multi-effect pedal. I use mine plugged in about half the time.

The adapter is included. You just need a cable to connect the guitar multi-effects and another cable to connect the multi-effect amplifier.

because your pedals would burn up if you tried to plug them directly to 110volts? guitar pedals work on voltages ranging from 9V to 18V. this power supply cleans up the power and provides a regulated voltage to your pedals. also keeps your pedal board neat by not having to resort to using single wall wart type of power supplies for each pedal. you could use the visual sound 1 spot but it only provides 1 x 9v output. if you have pedals with different voltage requirements it wont work.

I actually didn't. I suppose I should have tried a better pickup, more shielding in the guitar cavity and better cables. Also, moving further away from the computer may help... or from the amp, for that matter. I don't use the Plug anymore.

The advantages are that it can give you extra switched inputs if you do not have enough. If you have an amp with it's own switched inputs, it is probably best to plug directly into the amp. I was using one of this as a pre-amplifier and running two power amps - these only have a single input and it gives you volume control as well that you do not get with power amps.
