lidl e Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Judging by Thomann stats, id guess many here use HB pedalboards. Do you have the 40, 50, 60 or 80? How many pedals have you fitted? Im thinking the 40 is enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I have the 40 but it is just for a couple of large pedals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwickhunt Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I have a seperate pedalboard that has BOSS pedals on but I could easily get 8 of that size pedal on the 40. You just need to consider where the in/out jacks go, some pedals are on the top, most on the sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to consider where the in/out jacks go, some pedals are on the top, most on the sides. If i could get Line 6 DL4 and a Future impact on the top row, i'd be looking pretty good. I feel like the 60 is mammoth sized and i really would rpefer the 40. Do you have hard case ro gig bag for it? if gig bag, do you feel the pedals are secure?

warwickhunt Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 My pedalboard has a gigbag and while it protects them, I literally carry them by hand to car to gig; they don't get thrown in with general band gear or transported/carried by anyone else. If your velcro is good they don't budge from where they are. One down side of the Palmer Power Bar that I use is that the powers protrude from the top and I unplug the leads from the Power Bar each time, I really should just secure the protective strip on the back edge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your input for sure! instead of the power bar, i'm looking at the harley benton PowerPlant. It has a USB slot that i woul dneed https://www.thomann.de/ie/harley_benton_powerplant_iso_10ac_pro.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 USB is a handy feature but that wouldn't have enough juice from any of the individual outputs to drive one of my pedals and digital pedals are very fussy. Oddly the juice from the Power Bar should easily supply the BBE but for some reason it just will not run if I use anything other than it's own dedicated wall-wart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd only need the USB to power the midi interface i'm looking at. That Powerplant 10 i posted above has more than enough outputs besdies the USB one.

It isn't the quantity of outs that I need to be aware of it is the amount of juice; the Plethora needs 600mA and if you have other pedals drawing power on a unit it can actually reduce the amount of juice being supplied across the board (often in the small print of any power supply). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloney Balderdash Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) @lidl e 3 X Harley Benton PowerPlant ISO-2AC Pro Modular, that as the name suggests are modular, that is they can be coupled/chained together so that they effectively work as one big power supply. Not quite enough outputs for all the pedals, so some of them are daisy chained in couples from some of the outlets, it did help immensely on the noise though from when I had them all daisy chained from just two standard power supplied, and if I want there is room under the board for expanding with 2 more modules, one unit on each side of the exiting mounted ones. And yes, very satisfied with the board, which admittedly is a bit messy and could be in use of a bit more systematically organized wiring.

lidl e Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 I went for the 60 in the gigbag. Hope it's not too big. Got this power supply to go with it. https://www.thomann.de/ie/harley_benton_powerplant_iso_10ac_pro.htm I figure id spend the extra on the power supply instead of the hard case and if i need a hard case in fhe future, i can grab one.

Shiveringbass Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Hi, I have the smallest HB pedalboard with a Iso pro 5 I think. For the moment, it carries a Empress para eq, an EBS Bass IQ and a EBS Multicomp. I could easily put one more large pedal on it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
