Lozz196 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 So I’m after a long (3metres if possible) 18v PSU, any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Whats the use case. 3m is unlikely on thin DC (presumably) lead as it will be subject to voltage drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Why does it have to be 3m? Why not run a mains extension (much more durable) and plug into that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS_freak Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
