Effects pedal board power... IF you can solder!
These can make a decent, compact and inexpensive substitute for those $100 rechargeable pedal board power supplies that won't fit under your board anyway!I don't know what most folks would use these for, but I wanted a couple to test for powering (bass) guitar effects pedals so I wouldn't have to haul cords around and try to find extra AC outlets.The voltage is accurate on these but they are the wrong polarity for effects pedals. It's simple enough to cut the cord reverse the wires, and solder back up with shrink tube insulation. You can't even tell. Plus I removed most of the length of cable at the same time, as the most I would need would be 6-8". I also soldered 2 additional plugs on in a "Y" configuration so I power 3 pedals from each one of these. Could have powered 4 or 5 or more (depends on power draw of the particular effect) but I wanted to draw no more than 50% of rated current. 2 of these cables, modified like this and plugged in to an Anker battery pack USB phone charger, which is zip tied under my pedal board, easily powers my entire effects board (of small 9v TIP NEG) pedals and still leave an unused USB port on the power bank for my phone or tablet, or gooseneck usb console light. I can go 2 solid 4 hour performances and still not kill the Anker battery pack. It DOES however take at least a day and a half to recharge the battery bank.*In conclusion, I think they would have a good thing going for the price, by simply 1) reversing the polarity and 2) package with a 3 way splitter or daisy chain with 5.5mm plugs in a tip negative polarity. Oh, and 3 rubber caps to insulate any unused plugs!Edit: since I wrote this, I added another, and powered a newly acquired SpectraDrive and my old Line 6 wireless. Seems solid, but I'd feel better with 4 instead of 3.

We bought 3 of these. The 1st time we used the 1st one the usb part pushed into the case 5 minutes into a 4 hour road trip. Our 2nd one the case opened after the first use we got it to close but now the usb has completely fallen out(see pic). Our 3rd one the case is starting to open. We have had these is use for 4 days and have used them 2 times. Obviously I'll be returning them and would not recommend these at all.
