No complaints about the PP2 either. It's around 20 years old now with zero issues, however the 100w taps were starting to become problematic.
This is what I'm starting to run into.

100mA. If you see a 100w Tap, that's probably an AliExpress power supply. :lol:

Should be arriving today. These kinds of purchases are never the most fun but very important :lol:

Looking forward to being back to one plug from the board again though. The HX wall wart has been annoying me

Just arrived. I would start ripping apart my pedalboard now but I’ve got a rehearsal I have to go to almost immediately after work so that sounds risky

Will probably set up later tonight afterwords

Congrats. Now I want one of these. The size would totally fit under my small pedal board.

Thank you, comrade Leonard


Got it all wired up last night. Love the size and form factor. Placement of the IEC is nice too because I can put my board in the gig bag leaving that connected now. Always had to unplug the voodoo as it was sticking straight out the back

Kind of wanting to use that USB port to just permanently have my MIDI switch plugged in, the fact that its just something you charge makes me feel a little uneasy. Is there any issue with potentially damaging the battery in there always leaving it plugged in though?
