Long PSU - Where to get one?

[Lozz196]

So I’m after a  long (3metres if possible) 18v PSU, any ideas?

[EBS_freak]

Whats the use case. 3m is unlikely on thin DC (presumably) lead as it will be subject to voltage drop.

[Lozz196]

Ah, well it’s for my Ashdown OriginAL pedal. The one from EHX looks to be fairly long but they don’t give any specs.

Why does it have to be 3m? Why not run a mains extension (much more durable) and plug into that?

[Lozz196]

It’s for overseas gigs, want to keep the amount of gear down to a minimum, in UK gigs mains extension is def the way to do it.

Are you using just this pedal, or a number? I’d say a block PSU next to the pedal with a long trailing mains cable would be the way to go?

Just this pedal, on overseas gigs so want to minimise the amount of gear I take.

What I'd do, is get something from here -

 

https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/power-supplies-transformers/power-supplies-psus/desktop-power-supplies/?applied-dimensions=4292047580,4293173709

 

This will do you - https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/desktop-power-supplies/7212109 (Ashdown pedal requires 300mA so it's 830mA capacity is more than enough)

 

And get a DC polarity converter cable (as Ashdown pedal requires centre negative and all these will be centre positive). Then you can get as long a IEC mains cable as you need.
