TONE TALK //
Because many Pigtronix pedals run
at 18 volts, there aren’t many power
supplies out there that are equipped to
run several of them at once. Pigtronix
has solved the issue with the superflexible Pigtronix Power. In addition
to two dedicated 18-volt plugs, the
Pigtronix Power offers two nine-volt
taps and four completely adjustable
taps that range from nine to 18 volts.
For players that run their effects at
higher voltages, that’s a total of six
18-volt taps—far more than any other
power supply. That said, if you’re the
type to run a plethora of dirt pedals, the
Pigtronix Power is the ticket; nothing
on the market provides nearly as
many high-headroom taps for voltagehungry dirt boxes. Unfortunately, the
price is close to 300 dollars, which
gives it a rather low taps-to-price ratio.
