Hum-Bucking Pedal Juice Powers Guitar Effects Pedals
Posted in: Accessories and Peripherals, guitar, power, Today's Chili
Bzzzzzz hummmmmm krrrrrzzt! Those are familiar sounds to the electric guitarist, and they’re caused (respectively) by a dirty/dusty jack socket, a mains hum and a simply plugging in the jack to the amp. Sanyo’s Eneloop Pedal Juice won’t help with your clumsiness or lack of hygiene, but it can cut out that hum, and it also does away with yet another trip-hazard cable.
The Pedal Juice is a 9-volt lithium-ion power-source for effects-pedals. It will power a single pedal for 50 hours, or three pedals for 20 hours, and because it’s off the mains loop, it eliminates AC ground-looping noise. It is also water and shock resistant, so you can spill beer on it and smash up your guitar, Pete Townshend-style, and still use it again for the next gig.
Power levels are indicated by green, orange and red LEDs so you can check battery life at a glance, and you can use it to power anything that needs a 9v hookup – not just pedals. The Pedal Juice is $200, available now.
