NEUMA Guitar Effects Pedal Power Supply Adapter 9V DC 1A (1000mA) with Cable 5 Way Daisy Chain Cord Review:


In order to avoid having to bring my gigging pedal board with me, I am making a straightforward pedalboard to use at local open mic nights, thus I needed a power supply. The box is straightforward but strong enough to keep the object safe while being transported. The cable is roughly 6 feet long from end to end and seems to be quite sturdy. With lots of leeway to modify the pedal spacing, it could power 5 pedals. Some wall-wart power adapters have a reputation for adding excessive amounts of unwanted noise to the signal chain. The Neuma power supply didn't make any obtrusive noise. The fact that it was so quiet is always a plus. The plugs appeared to not be easily shook loose and were secured into the pedals firmly but comfortably. This is excellent for musicians who frequently switch their pedals on and off while playing. This is the ideal power supply for the pedal board I'm designing, which will have a number of mini pedals.



Power Adapter for Casio Keyboard AD-5 9V: USA UL Listed 2Y Warranty EXTRA LONG Cord AD-5 AD-5MU AD-5MR WK-110 WK-200 LK-43 LK-100 LK-220 CTK-496 CTK-573 CTK-700 CTK-710 CTK-720 CTK-2100 Review:


Although it can be challenging to locate the precise adaptor for outdated technology, this one was excellent for my 1987 Casio keyboard. To ensure you have the correct plug, pay attention to the pin's polarity, as well as the plug's inner and outer diameters. I appreciate that this company provided the specifications for the adaptor with the name AD-5 9V so I could select the appropriate adaptor. I like that the adaptor has a blue light to show that power is flowing through it in addition to having the correct power output and plug size.



9.5V AC/DC Adapter for Casio ADE95100LU - UL Listed Power Supply Charger for Casio Piano Keyboard - Only Compatible for Listed Models (8.4 Ft Long Cord) Review:


I rated this one star yesterday and stated that it didn't work. Today I made the decision to give it another go, and as the keyboard (SA76) was put in with the adapter, I just so happened to lift it up and hold it at an awkward angle when all of a sudden the sound exploded out! The keyboard has a loose connection, which I found out by moving the keyboard around. I am therefore editing my review! I should also point out that the vendor FouceClaus replied to my poor review and offered a refund. (I didn't test the adapter out right away since I expected it would work because so many people were pleased with it; as a result, I missed Amazon's return date. I'm delighted I learned the truth, and I'm going to buy a new keyboard because I don't think my old-looking keyboard can be fixed.



12V Power Adapter, Replacement for Yamaha PA130 PA150, Universal Power Supply Charger Adaptor for Yamaha Keyboard PA PSR YPG YPT DD Series by LotFancy, UL Listed, 8.2Ft Cord Review:


Sadly, I misplaced the original keyboard cable and was unable to locate it ( I have a Yamaha PSRF51). I originally intended to return to Guitar Center and buy a new one, but I first looked on Amazon. This one says "universal" and cost much less (GC I originally purchased it for $40). The adapter arrived and functions flawlessly. Sincere gratitude for the price I paid.



Yamaha PA130 120 Volt Keyboard AC Power Adaptor Review:


May 25, 2014 Update: Still excellent and trouble-free.Original review: A few months ago, we got our daughter a Yamaha PSRE343, so we needed an adaptor to go with it. The converter works flawlessly with the keyboard we purchased, and we feel much more secure about our decision to purchase an AC adapter with the YAMAHA brand (considering the no-name brand was virtually the same price).The cord is around 4 feet long and meets our needs well (it is actually plugged in very close to the outlet anyway). Using this instead of batteries (obviously) saves on batteries, plus we've discovered that the sound quality (loudness) is better while doing so.I would strongly advise purchasing this together with the specific keyboard that you receive (making sure that it is compatible of course). That they aren't already supplied with the keyboards at the time of purchase is, in my opinion, absurd. Having said that, this cord has been excellent; it accomplishes its objectives and is reasonably priced.



Power Adapter for Yamaha PA130 PA150, UL listed 12V AC/DC Replacement Power Supply Charger Plug Cord for Yamaha PA PSR YPG YPT DD Series Keyboard - Only Compatible for Listed Models (8.4 Ft Long Cord) Review:


This power adapter was well-made and delivered on schedule. Its label reads "FouceClaus," despite the product being sold as a Yamaha. I don't mind because I anticipate Yamaha to outsource this kind of goods. I like that it has a dual voltage AC input range of 100 to 240 V, allowing me to use it both at 120 V in the USA and at 230 V abroad. I particularly appreciate its "sideways" arrangement, which occupies less space along a normal power strip, as stated by other reviewers. I prefer the lengthy DC output chord of 8 feet because it makes it easier to reach an AC power outlet, especially during a performance where other musicians also require AC power. For Yamaha keyboards, the DC output of 12 v at 1.5 A is more than sufficient. The absence of an indication light to indicate that it is on is the sole drawback, in my opinion. To know that the wall outlet/power strip I am plugged into has AC power would be helpful to have. It is UL-listed in the US. Excellent craftsmanship and quality!



9V AC/DC Power Adapter for Casio Piano Keyboard, Zoom Guitar Multi Effects Pedal, BOSS, Dunlop, DanElectro, DigiTech, Ditto, Electro Harmonix, TC Electronic by LotFancy, UL Listed, Center Negative Review:


The basic setup in this case is that you have a thin wall plug that is oriented sideways. Check to see if it makes sense with the power strip it is plugging into. Some power strips assist themselves by turning the plugs in another direction or to the side. Then there is a very lengthy cord. I would have preferred less surplus because I am putting this on a pedal board, but they are kind enough to supply a velcro strap so that I may bundle the cable as seen in the product image. The L-shaped socket that fits into the device you are powering is the aspect that appealed to me the most about this power adapter. I apply this to both a Biyang reverb pedal and a Boss bass overdrive pedal. The L-shaped socket was advantageous in both situations because the power input for these pedals is located on the back, wasting up to an inch of space when using a conventional straight-style power adapter. The power port on both of my stomp pedals still seems snug because they haven't been exposed to power adapters very much. I feel pretty confident that these new power ports won't quickly become unstable because of the L-shaped end. Anyone who has used a guitar pedal or other small device that has had the power repeatedly plugged in and out knows how quickly they become unstable and eventually lose power. Even though the plug fits in just the correct amount of snugly, I should mention that when the plug is inserted, some chrome is visible. It does not fit into the plastic portion of the plug flush. This is not a big concern, but it is something to keep in mind and prepare for when purchasing a power adapter that is not made exclusively for one model or manufacturer. Finally, I'll note that the wire grade utilized is fairly thin. This does give it a decent amount of flexibility, but I wonder how it would do over time after being subjected to some heat and a few pulls, as you may experience on tour (assuming you don't have a pedal board, which you should completely have). Hopefully, this clarifies all of your questions, with the exception of whether it will work with your specific equipment, which you will have to study and validate. With both Boss and Biyang pedals, it functions flawlessly.



Donner Dp-1 Guitar Pedal Power Supply 10 Isolated DC Output for 9V/12V/18V Effect Pedal Review:


With a pretty wonderful selection of power supply options, this power supply offers great value. I particularly value the availability of dedicated 18v and 12v slots in addition to the customary 9v. It is a huge plus that there is such a range of power cabling included. There is no way to beat this option at this price; to receive any more benefits, you would need to upgrade to a larger supply or purchase something else at a far greater cost.This has been running this way for almost a year with no hitches, problems, noise, or headaches. It powers a Boss TU2, Boss NS2, Fulltone OCD (18v), Catalinbread Topanga (at 12v), Electro-Harmonix Canyon Delay, Boss TR2, Morley ABC switcher, and Cusack More Louder on my board. The provided cable has held up well and there have been no concerns with quality control in any of the components I received. The blue LEDs that glow under the board look cool. Excellent recommendation to a friend.



Donner DPA-1 Pedal Power Supply Adapter 9V DC 1A Tip Negative 5 Way Daisy Chain Cables for Effect Pedal Review:


Little has to be said; this combination simply works. I'm working on a few projects that include various pedalboard configurations and power sources. Two of my smaller boards are powered by practical 9v power sources with daisy chains, while two of my larger boards are powered by isolated power supplies (Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus Isolated Power Supply is my go-to pick for these configurations). Pedal power supply adapter Donner DPA-1 9V DC 1A Tip Negative The performance of the 5 Way Daisy Chain Cables for Effect Pedal is comparable to that of my Truetone 1 Spot Combo Pack. The barrels fit snugly on all of my pedals, and the cable is long and flexible enough to truly snake through your board's patch wires to the pedals.Yes, some of the more expensive options don't come with converters. However, it would be difficult to find a more economical way to power up your board if you were building up a board with all the same power connections.
