Power Supply

Post by somebodyelseuk »

Hiya
Can anyone out there recommend a power conditioner for rack equipment. I currently use a Furman PL8, which is great, but only outputs mains power (240V in the UK).
There was a unit in the late 90s called a Rocktron Power Station which put out main level AND 9 & 12V, which meant there was no need for those bloody adapter/transformers that come with most signal processors. This unit is no longer available and used ones are as rare as rocking horse sh...
So, anyone know of a new equivalent, preferably 1U unit?

Cheers

Yknow...that would be mega usefull. Maybe Teh Voodoo Labs should jump on that idea. I'd buy one.

Furman style power conditioner to plug your standard Kettle lead gear into meets PP2+ for your rack gear that takes a 9v/Racked pedals......

Sort of related, the reason behind my original post really, I have a Digitech Studio Quad 4 in my rack. The original power supply - Digitech PS 0920 - is no longer available. This supply outputs 9VAC @ 2.2A. Was wondering if Voodoolabs sell anything that would work it? I did look at the Pedal Power AC, but I don't think it pushes out enough currant.
I'm getting to the stage now where I'm thinking about modifying (by an electrician) one to suit if possible - yeah, I know, warranty would be voided, but it really is getting that desperate.

Any advice is gratefully received.

If Voodoo Labs doesn't have a PSU this might work:

You may need to just change the connector to fit your preamp.
