ambient Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Got quite excited when I saw this, the price soon quelled my excitement though .

molan Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Works now It's about he same price as the Volto (which has been around a while now) give or take £5. I know a couple of people using the Volto with Pedaltrain boards with a lot of success. I keep threatening to buy one to go with my Nano but haven't got round to it yet!

ambient Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 I'd never seen one, looks pretty cool, just a tad expensive. The same price will buy you 60 duracells from Amazon [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Duracell-MN1604-Procell-Battery-Alkaline/dp/B003XC9A3K/ref=sr_1_3?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1402415290&sr=8-3&keywords=duracell+9v+batteries+pack+of+10"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Duracell-MN1604-Procell-Battery-Alkaline/dp/B003XC9A3K/ref=sr_1_3?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1402415290&sr=8-3&keywords=duracell+9v+batteries+pack+of+10[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Or you could get the Eneloop Pedal Juice for less than 40 quid.

JapanAxe Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 To me the only point of these is outdoor/guerilla gigs on battery power. If you have mains available for your amp, just use a conventional power supply and plug in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS_freak Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Not for a while - these are lithium-ion based. So more likely to just die (when battery is discharged) than sag as they have a relatively flat discharge curve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudewheresmybass Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I have one of these for times when getting mains power is an issue http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281330019175 For the price it's superb. It regularly powers 4/5 pedals for a 4 hour rehearsal with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 my Pedaltrain volto has been amazing, saved me at gigs with really REALLY limited plug space and from noisy venues. i planned to charge it all the time just in case, but through laziness i barely charge it and its done a fair few gigs.
