Battery/chargeable power supply

RobDavies

Anyone ever used a chargeable power supply for a pedal board?

Quite tempted by the Harley Benton effort over at Thomann….

Been using the Joyo JP-05 for a while.  A charge gets me through several two-hour rehearsals so will easily do a gig.  Try to find one from a UK supplier, as I got mine from Thomann and had to buy a 3-pin adapter.

You can use a standard power bank and a DC to DC converter, but you might need to put a resistor across the output as some of them will turn off if at least 35mA or so isn't pulled. 

Drill batteries are also suitable, being 9,6 and you can buy adapters to flying leads  off Ebay to fit a lot of them

I've just used a bog standard phone bank battery thing with one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0721MX1P5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ;

That specific model is out of stock at the moment but i'm sure looking around on Amazon or ebay will find you the same thing. Was about £10, i also seem to have ordered a polarity reversing cable at the same time but it's been a while since i used it so I can't remember if that was needed or not, guess it depends what polarity your pedals need compared to whta's on the other bit

The Engl Powertap portable looks quite neat for pairing with a generic powerbank

Wiz’s for the standard power bank idea with a converter - as long as you’re ok with 9v. I get 100 hours out of a full charge and it fits right under my pedaltrain nano.

I use one of these with just a standard Anker phone power bank.

Hmmmm, seen this before. Calling @digitalscream

Yes - I used a ZY12PDN trigger board. The point of these is that they don't convert voltage, unlike the other two, which means they can use the full current capacity of USB-C at 9V (well over 2A) - the Joyo one can only do 400mA, and the Step Up Converter on Amazon can only do 800mA.

Of course, I have to use a Joyo ZGP to clean the power before it hits pedals, but I can also power an HX Stomp or HX Effects (or anything else that doesn't care about a dirty power supply) in parallel with it that.

Anybody who shows up to The Guitar Show this weekend will be able to see it, in fact

I've got a Sanyo Eneloop Pedal Juice (sadly discontinued now, I believe) which is excellent.

Out of interest how do you distribute across multiple pedals using either the step up or trigger board? Just a daisy chain?

Does this option not address pedal noise in anyway?
