help build my rig

Post by gibson daft »

awrite folks, i ve just started puting my rack together. its pretty simple.

its just a marshall vintage modern head that runs into the gcx, into 6 pedals then to the guitar, i dont use any other effects. the pedals r powerd by the dunlop brick.

do i need anything else and is there anyway i can solve the problem of not having all the plugs at the back of my rack??

i live in the uk so the plugs 4 differnt to everywhere else!!

thanks stuart

I don't quite understand what you are asking about the plugs... If you are talking about the AC mains connections then you will need the appropriate power supplies for your region or the proper converters to adjust the voltage down as well as mate with the "foreign" connectors.

Are you talking about powering the devices in the rack with a single unit or are you talking about sending audio signal to a power amplifier?

As near as I can tell it seems you need something as simple as a small power strip to plug all your two existing power supplies and power cord into. Unless I am missing something, I think you have only the wall wort for the Dunlop Brick, likely the table top power supply for the GCX, and a power cord for the Marshall. I would assume a Pedal Power 2+ could power the six pedals, but the Marshall and the GCX power supply would still need to be connected to the mains AC, which could be split off the Courtesy Outlet on the back of the Pedal Power 2+, again with small a power strip.
