Diago Powerstation

Very simple to use. Simply plug into the wall and connect to your daisy chain.

I have this powereing a Boss Tu-2, Boss LmB-3, Boss GEB-7, Boss Hm-2, Dunlop Bass Crybaby wah and a Samson Ap1B wireless reciever. I have used a red adaptor for the Samson AP1B as it has reverse polarity. All these pedals work fine with the powersation and i get no hum what so ever. I have read other reviews saying the same thing and it's true.

I have only given this a 9 for the simple fact that i have only had it for a few days but i cannot see this letting me down. It's well built. I play non-stop with this on and it has always provided the power and it doesn't even get that hot after hours of constant use.

I have been e-mailing James with lots of question before i bought the powerstation, mainly about compatibility issuses and everytime, i got and answer back within the next day. I wanted to know which adaptors i would need to use for the Samson AP1B and i got an answer straight back the next day. He has been extremley helpful and i'm sure if ever i need to contact him again, i won't need to worry.

Before this, i was using a Boss ACA adaptor which went into my Boss TU-2 and then a daisy chain. This boss daisy chain was too short which meant i could only power 5 effects. It was also limited to 200ma. This Powerstation now is excellent. The Deluxe daisy chain is perfect and is not too short. It can also power up to 3000ma which is great. I think this is well worth the money and if it was lost or stolen, i would definately buy a new one without hesitation.

Couldn't be simpler. Plug in the supplied daisy chain cable, connect your pedals, plug in the supplied vey long mains lead and you're good to go. Given the 3A output capacity of the Powerstation it is remarkably small and takes up very little room on a pedalboard.

Before buying the Powerstation I was a little concerned about the possibility of noise. I needn't have been. There is no discernable difference between using batteries and this power supply with my pedals.

I've been using this for three months now, averaging a gig a week plus rehearsals. It hasn't given me any cause for concern. I keep a couple of batteries in the essential pedals, just in case, but I don't expect to be using them anytime soon.

I haven't had cause to deal with Diago other than when ordering the Powerstation. I ordered a pedalboard at the same time and the order arrived very quickly. If the customer support is anything like the service I won't be complaining.

I'd looked at a number of different power supplies before deciding on the Powerstation and it seemed to have the edge over more than a few of the others available. I'm very happy with the choice I made and would definitely get another if mine were lost, stolen or needed replacing for any other reason.

The only thing you have to consider is the power needs of your pedals - a comprehensive list of manufacturers / pedals on the website lets you check if any of your pedals needs one of the special connectors. for example the Line6 DL-4 has slightly special needs, so you'd need the connector that handles that. The number of pedals that can't be handled is very small, typically its the high voltage e.g. 24v types

No effect on sound quality that I can detect; I know some people think that some pedals sound better on batteries...

Have owned for over a year, in daily use in a static set-up; if you had a pedal board then that would also count as a static set-up. In short, its as reliable as a laptop power supply. Either works for ever or blows up the first time you plug it in.

I exchanged a few emails because I wanted to power something that isn't a guitar pedal and therefore wasn't listed on the website. Helpful responses, very happy with the outcome (though a warning: its very hard to measure a power input socket on a device!)

I can't think of anything to fault with it really, very adaptable, light-weight, better priced than its only serious contender. Godd person to deal with.

This device is as simple as connecting a power supply to a daisy chain of 9v adaptors and then plugging in your pedals, if you can't work this device without a manual then you need some help!

This is the device i have been looking for since i have started using various pedals. It is COMPLETELY silent in operation, no humming through the amo like i did with my previous 9v adaptor. This device can also connect up to 30 pedals (in a daisy chain) i think, so basically as many pedals as you could ever want to use.

Before this pedal i was considering splashing out hundreds on one of those voodoo powerstations things. They are alot more expensive and can only connect about 5 or 6 pedals.
I urge you to buy this device without any hesitation! (it costs about ??55)

...and just for the record i'm using a Marshall TSL60 with 1960A cab and a gibson les paul electric guitar
I usually play high gain sounds although this power supply is also completely silent going through the clean channel

I have only just got this so i can't comment on reliabilty but i can't see anything going wrong with this any time soon
if not its not the most expensive thing to replace!

The guy who runs this company is brilliant. I have spoken to him personally via email and so has my mum before she ordered this for me for christmas. He will happily answer any questions quickly and very helpfully. Brilliant customer service.

I have nothing else to say but if you use pedals - GET THIS POWER SUPPLY
You won't regret it

Really easy to use. Just plug it in to your pedals and your power source!

For me it does not seem to colour the sound at all. No problems.

I use it mounted on a diago pedalboard so i don't have to mess with it at all. Even if i did, I couldn't see this thing breaking anytime soon.

Haven't needed them

It does what it says on the box. Its the ost reliable power supply I've ever used and I can't see it letting me down anytime soon. Decent.

There is no manual for this, as it's not required. Connect all your pedals to it - using conversion cables where necessary (their website provides more than adequate information on what you need but support will help if you need it - see later) - plug it into the mains and off you go.

Completely noiseless as far as I can ascertain.

Having been using for a while now (several gigs and rehersals) without any issues. Clearly time will tell, but i've no reason to doubt reliability. I do carry batteries in a box but that's the kind of anally retentive guy I am.

Here's where Diago really sets itself apart from the rest. Support is first rate. I had a few queries about compatibility / connectors / etc before buying. As you might expect response was good - potential buyer. However, having made the purchase I have had a few other queries (some only indirectly related to the power supply) and support has been fast, courteous, accurate and above the call of duty!

I've been playing guitar for about 20 years now so have bought many bits of hardware over the years and I rate this product very highly indeed. Value for money compared to the competition is superb and as a canny Scot I appreciate that :-)

How much easier can it be? Simply remove the packaging, plug in, connect your pedals to the daisy chain (provided)and away you go.

"Hum/Noise free operation, or your money back" says Diago's website. And for once that wasn't a marketing gamble. I'm powering (thus far): Zakk Wylde Wah -> Dunlop Rotovibe -> (modded)Boss SD-1 -> EHX Metal Muff -> Boss CH-5 -> Boss NS-2. 6 pedals and no noise, whatsoever, not even the slightest bit of hum.

I've owned this for a month or so now and have gigged 6 or 7 times, I've also recorded over a 6 day span with this thing pretty much constantly on. It's still working just as well as the day I bought it. I've only given a 9 because as I said earlier, I've only owned it a month.

I ordered it Wednesday night and it arrived the following morning. I got several emails telling me the status of my order which I thought was pretty cool of them. I've emailed the owner about power adapters and got a swift, friendly response.

I ordered this expecting a cheap alternative to a Dunlop Power Brick or other similar products. I actually got something better for around half the price. It really is the perfect tool to power my pedalboard, it takes up very little space and I doubt I'll ever need to worry about it not working on me.

It is so easy to use, just plug and play. Not plug and pray, hoping it's functioning. ;-)
Using the daisy chain, it powers your pedals up to 30! Pedals. Using different adaptor it supplies different Pedals with power, like my Line 6 DL4 for example.

It's sound great. No noise at all! It powers all my pedals.

As I received it, I plug it and use it at home then I used it last week on gig with 7000 people. No problem at all. It's powerful!

I sent my order (the powerstation with Showman Pedalboard) after talked with James Kitchen, the owner of Diago. A very pleasant person.
The package sent on Monday from England, I received it on Thursday in Germany.
Great customer service and support!

The powerstation is small and light but don't underestimate its power! It supplies your pedals with power. No more different power supplies for each Stomp Boxes or Pedals. Using the daisy chain and adaptor , it covers almost all pedals you find.
Now, I have found what I'm looking for! ;-)

Very Easy. Simply plugin the power lead to the tiny power box. Plugin your cables from the power pack to all your pedals. Extension cables could be a touch longer for non boss type pedals.

NO POWER SPIKES! the cleanest supply ive ever heard. the quality of this is far beyond the 5 way ac/dc power blocks.

Never had a problem yet and ive been using it for over a year.

Never had to deal with diago's customer support but from other friends that use these they are apparently excellent.

I use this with a horrendously large pedal board (around 30 pedals). The only pedal i dont use this supply with is a hand built valve pedal purely because it doesnt offer enough power but then not many things do. Everything else has run perfectly on it. And well as it says in the sggested comments i HAVe had this stolen and well now i want another one. Well worth the ??50 for those people using ac/dc power blocks and its still cheaper than many of the power blocks that supply this many pedals.
The only problem i would have with this power supply is that the space between power sockets on the extension cable could be a little larger for non boss style pedals without the power at the top. Having said that i believe diago now have an extension with longer breaks for this reason. Also an on/off switch wouldnt go amis but i dont have a huge problem not having one.

Easy to use. Plug your pedals in and you're away!

This is where this product really excels. I found it to be completely silent powering my pedals. One of which is a boutique vintage tremolo I'd given up on long ago. It hummed like a Tesla-Coil no matter how I powered it. Hooked up to the diago, it is now totally quiet and sounds very smooth & sweet!

Seems solid enough. The daisy chain cable looks good quality etc. I've only had it a couple of weeks, so I can't comment on long term use/abuse. I do try to take care of my gear though, plus I've just built a board for my pedals. The daisy chain cables go through little slits in the carpet and through a long channel near the back edge of the board, everything is held in place neatly, which should avoid any idiots from accidentally treading on it and such.

Within 10 minutes of my first enquiry to diago, I had a very helpful and pleasant response off James (the MD?). All subsequent mails were as such, from placing my order to receiving it, Diago is a company that is a pleasure to deal with. It's also good to know that any adaptors for odd pedals etc are available from there too.

Delivery - my powerstation turned up the day after ordering. I was an adaptor missing from the box (that I'd ordered as an extra). But a quick mail to James and it was with me the next day.

Well, I've recently just dumped my old multi-effects, and put together a decent simple pedalboard from some effects I owned, and a couple of new ones. I did a lot of research into powering it all, plus any future additions, and I'm very pleased I settled on Diago. Some of the 'bricks' out there are very expensive and don???t seem to power that much anyway, and I just don't trust some of the cheaper ones. This diago will power about 30 pedals I believe, and has also solved a big problem I had with a much loved pedal of mine. If anything was to happen to the Powerstation I wouldn't replace it with anything else.

Ditching multi-effects is the best thing I've done in ages, my setup now has a much more natural tone to it, and doesn't sound like processed junk. I am enjoying playing my guitars more than ever (been playing 24 years). Big thumbs up here!

Current setup:
Guitars - USA Tele, USA 40th anniversary Strat, an acoustic (somewhere)
Amp - Fender Stage 112SE
Effects - Boss CS3, Arion EQ, Digitech Bad Monkey
(in effects loop)- Ibanez FL301DX, Fretware Vintage Tremolo, Boss DD-6
