Exploring guitar accessories, Australia

It might not be the most rock and roll aspect of guitar shopping, but getting the right pedalboard for your guitar effects goes a long way to achieving your ideal sound. As you add to your pedal collection, you will quickly see how important the quality of the power supply is. This is because the more effects you add to your rig, the more problems you might have to deal with because of daisy-chaining. Buzzes and hums can be caused by cheap power supply. Getting a quality pedalboard power supply Australia can rectify said issues. You can achieve cleaner operation and reduce the noise in your signal chain.

Do you need isolated outputs or not?

When buying pedalboard power supplies, you need to think about whether you need isolated outputs. This means each pedal has its own power source. This removes the hum you get when you run all your pedals, analog and digital on the same power source. As mentioned above the cleaner sound is in isolated outputs unless you are only running a few analog units on that power supply that all have the same power requirements.

You have isolated outputs on a good quality pedalboard power supply so each pedal received a consistent current. This is best when you have more pedals and units and have a mix of requirements, some lower draw effects, and some multi effect pedals and digital stompboxes. It is also true that there are some pedals that just don’t perform as well with daisy-chaining.

Assess the power requirements of each pedal

As mentioned, the power requirements of your pedals need to be considered. Do you have pedals that all require 9V or do some need 12, 15 or even 18V? It is not just the multi effect pedals that run on higher voltages either. Some overdrive effects pedals that require a strong pedalboard power supply Australia will offer the option to be used on a higher voltage so that you get more headroom. A lot of power supplies now offer the ability to switch voltages to meet those needs, and some will even allow some sag, where it goes under 9V for the dying battery sound of a fuzz effects pedal.

As well as voltage you need to consider mA requirements too. Some overdrive and fuzz pedals might be good with 10mA, but multi effects and modern digital pedals are going to draw a lot more, between 100 even up to 1000mA. You would need your power supplies to handle those kinds of higher mA on each of its outputs.

Older pedals versus new ones and travel

Today when you look at most effects pedals you have them running on DC, but if you are into using vintage pedals or you are buying older pedals for another reason, these may run on AC. You also need to consider the power supply if you travel with your guitar accessories Australia, including making sure you have switchable input voltage.
