Due to a purchase quirk I now have a Joyo Power Supply 2 available for my joy and delectation. I'm been simply plugging all my pedals into individual wall warts, or with one group, using a single wart with a daisy chain.
When this unit appeared at my doorstep, along with the surprise came some wonderment. Would it serve any useful purpose? Are these any good?
And as is my way I got busy checking it out and concluded that it seemed like a nice thing to have. And then Jan took an interest and suggested a cool way to use it that will make it a very nice thing to have.
Its 10 outputs are not fully isolated, but each output is individually regulated and has overload and short-circuit protection. 7 standard 9v 100ma outlets, 1 9v 500ma outlet plus 1 each 12v and 18v outlet. Oh, and lots of blue leds.
Anyone use one? Any pluses or minuses I should be aware of?
My present setup has pedals and band boxes in three locations. Jan suggested I leave the surf pedals (Trem, echo, reverb and an available but rarely used tube overdrive pedal) as it is -- all running through a single wall wart and a single daisy chain wire. And the same with Digitech JamMan which I use for my surf backing tracks. But the rest are actually off the floor, up on a 4 level equipment rack -- this so I can adjust them easily as they are typically either on or off, not switched mid-song (or, usually, even mid-set). These are the Trio, a Kawai programmable rhythm box (the main player in "The Black Box Band), a tuner pedal, an equalizer , the Spring Tank, a digitech "Snake Charmer"tremolo, and the three Joyo amp voiving pedals -- the American Sound (fender), the British Sound (Marshall) and the ACTone (vox). That's nine pedals each of which has had its own wall wart -- now to be reduced to just one.
The unit came with all the interconnect wires -- including a couple of adpaters that allow for reversed polarity
Cool that!
Well, unless someone tells me something I ought to know but don't.
