It's just the PedalPower does a much better job, and also has isolated outputs, versus one common output.

And fuse protection is a big plus. Granted a lot of people run their 1spots from surge protectors but still.

Not a huge fan that he plays mostly hardcore/screamo riffs, though.. I'll stick with Gearmandude for rock licks and humor and this other guy for the really different stuff that GMD doesn't review.

You spent $3K on that board, and you can't throw in $150 for a SoundTank or PedalPower or something.

Someone please tell me how silly I'm being and explain why it doesn't matter.
works perfect.... its the diago powerstation... no humming no noise... it's a really cool powerstation! SD and TF run on their won powersupply and Fuzzfaceless MKI runs with battery!mathias wrote:sevenSHARPnine wrote:mathias wrote:OneSpots are OK, up to a point.

Yeah, I run everything on its own surge protector (amp on its own, pedals on their own, lights in my room on another circuit..) and someday I'd like to get one of the nice power conditioners. I always check the wiring before I plug in somewhere new, too, with a little ground-tester like this.

More expensive power supplies are often engineering marvels, but there really is no need and they cost far too much.
