Cross posting from the Gear Liquidation thread to say I'm selling a nearly-new Diago Showman pedal board/case thingy. It's in Nottingham. It's 75 quid ish.

If you think this is bad you should see what kind of shape my car is in

I like it waaay better than a Super Hard On. I picked it up used expecting to flip it after I tried it for a while but it s a keeper. If you keep an eye out deals do come up.

whats the deal with the fancy power supplies some of you have? when i made my board i just grabbed the wall wart daisy chain thing that my local brick and mortar music store stocks. what are the advantages of the brick power supply with the individual cables?

7 ‚¬ Ikea pedalboard:

A good power supply is a super plus especially since I have a number of digital pedals and it makes a big difference. It seems like a needless expence to pay the extra money and they are not cheap but if you want to have a clean run and low noise floor it makes a big difference.For the mini boards in the computer cases I mentioned, I have a nice extension cord 3 prong heavy duty type from Home Depot with a daisy chain power supply for the smaller boxes and a separate one for the digital delay and Whammy. but these cases only have 5 or 6 pedals.

I was noticing a lot of noise in the chain when using some EHX digital(?) pedals like the Freeze and Synth9. Got one of the MXR Iso power boxes and that noise is gone! Actually, that noise being gone made me realize that one of my other pedals (Ibaneze DE7) is super noisey when not engaged anywhere I put it in the chain.

Because, well, expensive. I used a switchmode PowerAll (competitor to One Spot) for years with like 8-10 pedals on it. Switched to a Pedal Power 2+ and was awarded with an instant noise floor drop. Do not regret purchase at all. If I had to do it all over again I'd search high and low for a used Zuma because it has more higher current draw outputs and the option of 18V is far more useful than the only 2 high current and 2 starved outputs on the PP2+.
