Pedal Power Supplies

Pedal power supplies are an essential purchase for effects-friendly guitarists. A good power supply gives your guitar pedals all of the juice they need to run efficiently and safely along with a low level of background noise and signal degradation. A good power supply also takes a lot of stress away for the guitarist who regularly performs live since it will be reliable in terms of function and build quality.

Power supplies come in different forms. At their most simple, you get supplies that are essentially wall adapters with a ‘daisy chain’ cable for powering the pedals. They are affordable and effective but are not as strong or silent as ‘box’ supplies.

Box supplies are what most guitarists velcro to their pedal boards. They often have individual, isolated connections for the pedals so that venue power problems won’t affect all pedals at once. They also often offer multiple voltages in order to power pedals that require more than the requisite 9v. Many of these use IEC plugs (kettle plugs to you and I!) for their own power connection, making replacement cables a straightforward affair.

There are lots of power supplies available and the subject can become understandably confusing. Thankfully, our trained staff are well-versed in every detail of the subject so you can rest easy in the knowledge that when you come to any guitarguitar UK store, you will receive the best choice, the best gear and the best service.
