Pedal Power Supplies
Pedal Power Supplies
Quite simply, a pedal power supply powers your favourite guitar pedals consistently to get the best tone out of them! At Andertons Music Co, we have a range of pedal power supplies for whatever voltage or amount of pedals you need to connect.
A guitar pedal power supply is a unit that distributes appropriate electricity to your stompboxes. The main benefit of a pedal PSU is that it allows you to run your effects with consistent and reliable power, rather than batteries which will eventually run out of juice — often without warning!
Less and less guitar effects pedal brands are creating pedals without battery compartments to make space for more tonal options meaning a quality power supply is needed!
While most conventional guitar pedal PSUs will boast a number of 9V outputs to accommodate most standard stompboxes, some high-end options will feature 12V outputs to power more sophisticated premium pedals.
If you are looking to power a single pedal, then a simple plug-in connection such as the Ordo A-PSU1. If you have a small collection of pedals, try using a daisy chain cable to distribute the power between them evenly.
For consistent power for multiple pedals, you will need a more dedicated power supply.
Voodoo Lab, MXR & T REX offer power supplies that are considered as the industry standards. Their PSUs are used by thousands of guitar players all over the world.
Looking for a premium power solution? Strymon specialises in power supplies that feature high-current outputs for thirsty digital pedals. Walrus Audio create power supplies which can be linked to an extension to power the largest pedalboards.
