Diago Powerstation

Couldn't be more straight-forward. Connect the the daisy-chain psu and that's it. The Diago website has an extensive list of fx pedals that will work with this and you can get colour coded adapters to connect more unusual stuff. Very useful.

I use single coils through a LOT of fx with various stereo amp configurations. As the manufacturer claims, this psu seems to generate no audible noice and everything on it works a treat, even my Line 6 stombox modelers!

I haven't had it long, so I can't really judge. It is small, light and compact and sits very neatly in my sturdy Diago tourman. I don't anticipate any problems, although I'd probably gig with a few spare batteries.

Suppert fast delivery from Diago and great communication from James. It comes with a 28 day money back guarantee and a 12 month warranty. I get the feeling I'm dealing with a company that really cares about its products and customers.

I've been playing for 15 years and this psu has really sorted my spaghetti junction power supply chaos. It has made transporting and setting up my gear hassle-free. The sound quality and versatility make it one of the best fx board psus on the market, and the reasonable price makes even happier. I'd definitely get another if this one went.

superb, plug in a go, lightweight, just like a small laptop powersupply, tho the 2meter lead from the plug to the unit is a little short, but thats really really not a problem. litrally just a case or arranging your pedals working out the daisychain and powering up

again, superb. i have been playing with pedal boards for 15 years plus, and had resigned myself to paying out for batteries for the rest of my days, just to get a decent hum free opperation, even works with pedals running through the loop as the same time going straigt in the front end. i've tried everything, powerbanks the lot, and this is without doubt the tits! no more plugboards of wallwarts on the board so no eccess weight! brilliant

so far, no problems. i had been gigging with one i borrowed from a mate, purely because he got one and couldnt belive it, never had a problem at all, the only time i've had a problem is with the lengt of the power lead, but a trip to the electrical store should sort that. i still keep my batteries for back up, but i havnt needed to use them at all yet

not needed to deal with them, but when i ordered one for myself, finally, i did two seperate orders in the same da, and recived an email telling me they had packed them together, and were shipped that day, which is prety rare these days. i have every faith if i do have a problem, they will have no difficulty sorting it out

i play in a lot of bands doing a lot of stlyes of music with some very old grumpy pedals, and this is a godsend, its light weight, somehting a lot of manufactures forget, which can be an issue if ou like me you dont drie, and have a lot of gear, reliable and very easy to set up and use, small, so more pedals on the board, it beats the socks of any of the other powerboxs ive used, (anybody want a pair of power banks going cheap??) even at full volume and distortion its still totally transparent.
very happy

Idiot Proof - even my drummer could use it (after removing his mittens)

I was using a Power Bank before - 5 outputs 450mA max (?25) - main amp at the time of writing is a TSL100 (soon to be a Cornford MK50h11 - hmmmm...).

Hum was always a problem, plugged this TINY gizmo in - NO HUM - NO POPS....

That's another search ended....

To early to tell, but I expect no problems.
Had my pedal board on for a few hours today (8 pedals being powered) the unit barely got warm, that's always a good sign.

Bought the pedal 2.30pm, arrived the next morning.
All email from James was prompt, polite and courteous.

I was looking at the Voodoo Labs unit, but at ?150 + postage it seems a bit over the top.

This unit can supply up to 30 pedals with a total rating of 1500mA, this is way more than the Voodoo Labs solution , and is ?50 delivered - A totally no contest.

This is something I've needed for a long time,but with power supplies like voodoo labs costing getting along #200.00,I've stayed with using multi voltage plug transformers and set them to 9v.Well I saw this powerstation being advertised for #50.00 that would power up to 30 different pedals.Being my set-up is tuner(strobostomp) Comp Wah(mold spore) Dist(jeckyll and hyde),I felt it was well worth checking out.It comes with a 5 way daisy chain that you just connect up.My only problem being I had to use up 2 connections for my Wah.Being these are something like #3.00 extra it makAs I found es sense to order more than you think you might need.

It's noise free.
Above all,I definately notice a huge improvement in my effects,in terms of sound it's mean't reappraising the effects and found there even better than I knew.

I think it's more dependable than multi voltage plug transformers,that's enough for me.

Very friendly company
Quick replying to e-mail.

I have a Diago Powerstation and a Showman pedalboard, so I will review them both.
Simply velcro the tiny power supply down (with the included velcro), connect the power cable and plug the daisy chain into all your pedals! My only tiny complaint is that the daisy chain cables aren't quite long enough and the jacks of them are too long (angled jacks would be better), for example, it couldn't stretch past my Boss double pedal to my wah, but that's not a major issue.
As for the board, simple, the velcro works well and easily holds my Dunlop wah and Digitech Whammy (which incidently can't be powered by the Powerstation, the plug doesn't fit).

I am using the power supply and board with a Digitech Whammy, Dunlop 535Q Cry Baby wah, and Boss TU-2, NS-2, CH-1, PH-3, BF-3 and DD-6. They all fit on perfectly and are powered (except the Whammy) with no noise whatsoever.

I would definately depend on both of these things for a gig. The board is sturdy with tough parts and the power supply has a quality cable, that shouldn't break easily.

Great customer service, James Kitchen answered my questions well and even sent me a free daisy chain because my order was late! Excellent.

Great value products, especially considering Diago are one of the only pedalboard manufacturers in the UK. Certainly beats my old Boss BCB-60 pedal board which broke after 7 months of gigging - poor power supply and the hinges snapped off. No plastic parts here however, and a sturdy power cable. I am thoroughly satisfied and can't wait to see what else the company come up with!

Plug in, hook up and with the Diago patch cables you get a good reliable powerpack with no distinguishable noise.
Add to that the Showman pedal board and you're away.
Simple!!!

Not noisy at all

Not going to break especially when protected by a showman pedal board
Can power up to 30 pedals

Hardly rocket science, connect the mains lead to the power pack then connect your pedal(s) to the supplied daisy chain

This will power almost any guitar pedal, though a separate plug adaptor may be needed for some non-standard pedal type.

All very easy

No discernable noise or hum to be found here.

Too early to tell with mine, but from what i've heard from other users I see no reson to doubt the reliablity of this unit.

It certainly seems solid enough, probably wont bother with a backup

Not dealt with customer support, but if their website and the speed at which they delivered this unit to me is anything to go by I'm sure the support will be excellent

At around half the price of similar units and delivering three times as much power as my previous power supply there is really nothing to fault it, well maybe the space between plugs on the daisy chain could be a bit bigger.

If it were stolen I'd buy another without thinking

Very simple, the power supply comes in three parts. The main power pack, a power lead to plug in the the mains (which is very durable compared to some of the flimsy power supplys you can buy) and finally the daisy chain connectors to plug into your pedals.

The only drawback is positioning your pedals in such a way the the daisy chain can reach anything. Saying that I've not found it a problem and you can always buy more daisy chains.

Setup:-

Fender Stage 112SE Amp ---> Award-Session MB10 'Shadowlands version' ---> Boss TU-2 ---> Keeley modded Boss BD-2ph ---> Empress Tremolo ---> Boss DD-6 ---> Fender 72 Deluxe Telecaster/Rickenbacker 340.

My setup changes frequently though.

I've found it to be quiet as a church mouse and I found a noticeable difference from the noise I got from my last power supply (warwick board).

I've only just got a couple of days ago but its a sturdy unit and I'll never have to move it now it's in place.

I may never need a back up but I'd never leave for a gig without some kind of replacement for everything in my setup.

I had an error from my computer with the order but once i had got in touch to check everything was okay with it the response was quick, friendly and delivery was super fast.

This unit is unbeatable for the price and easily competes with higher priced supplys on the market. The space you can save on the board from its size can give you room for another pedal. I love the fact I can disconnect the power supply rather than have to fold it up and leave it in the board and its not an eyesore next to my other pedals.

All in all this little unit is a space saver, a money saver and a life saver. I wouldn't think of buying anything else.

Couldn't be simpler, just connect the Powerstation up with your pedals and away you go!

Its also very versatile; The daisy chains supply any 'Boss type' plug, plus you can buy additonal plug adapters for it which allow you to power any of the other various plug types. Including anything that runs on a 9V battery! I can power my Boss pedals, My Electro Harmonix pedals, my Line 6 Modellers (MM4, FM4) and EVEN my Vox Wah which doesn't even have a Power plug!

It powers all 9 of my pedals, without any noise or hum. (-And I mean NO noise or hum :D)

I frequently gig without a backup, and don't intend on getting one either. I've had this thing for about 6 months now, it has never let me down and I don't think it ever will, -it seems well built and pretty sturdy.

I've never had to deal with them so no comment. (Though I've heard nothing but good words about them)

Very quick delivery, even when I only order a single daisy chain/plug adapter ...which I should probably stop doing!

The Powerstation is quite simply, a cheap and quality solution to all those pedal adapters and batteries. I did have a simlar styled power supply before this, but after it died a friend recommended that I should check out Diago. And why did I buy it? Well;

-It puts out 1,500mA. Work out the total draw of all your pedals and you'll soon realise that this powerstation can power LOADS of pedals!
-Despite the above point, its very small and very quiet.
-Not only does it power lots of pedals, but it can power just about every pedal going.
-Finally, its a lot cheaper than any of the other power supplies that I've come across.

Highly recommended.

Very Easy to use. Just plug in your pedals and away you go.

I am using the powerstation with a Diago Tourman board. Pedals include:-

BBE opto Stomp, Morley Wah, Whammy;

These are powered on one supply with obviously the Whammy on its own AC Supply, These are fed into the front of a Peavey 5150 mk2 amp.

The following are hooked up into the amps effects loop and are all powered by the Diago powerstation.

Morley Little Alligator, Boss Ns2 noise gate, Boss tu2 Tuner, Boss Eq Ge7, Boss Super Chorus CH1, Boss Delay DD3, Boss Delay DD20, BBE Sonic Stomp.
All of the pedals are powered and sound great. No noise what so ever.

Well I have used quite a few power supplies of the years and this one is very good. To be honest I always have a back up in a gig situation, but I would not worry if I forgot it with this baby.

I have had no need to speak to anyone about this product as I have had no difficulties. I did speak to a gentlemen when I was looking at buying this item and he seemed very helpful. Say no more.

Well 10 out of 10 from me. There are alot of good power supplies out there on the market, but if your like me and use alot of pedals you need to make sure of three things;

1) The power supply has enough amp current to power all the pedals comfortable

2) The power supply is very quiet

3) The power supply is very light in weight
