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

The unit is ultra small and finding space on your pedal board should be a piece of cake. Stick a bit of the (supplied) velcro on the bottom and place it accordingly to your needs. Simple case of plug in and connect your standard or pre ordered (red,yellow etc for line 6 and other) daisy chain ends to your pedals. Only gripe is length of chain (mentioned a lot i know) but if you special order some custom adaptors for yor setup, James will do it for you for a very reasonable/cheap price. You specify the length you need, quality service.

You cant hear it hence is doing the job you bought it for.

I havent had any problems with my unit nor any reason to believe it will give me trouble, look after it and it will look after you! I dont belive you can rate a product in this category unless youve had it for a very long time or something has gone wrong with it. Ive had mine 2 months hence no comment.

Its easy to say James at Diago is one of the more friendly people in this bussiness, always gets back to me when i email him and always sends out gear on time. Good service like this is few and far between.

I play indie music in a four piece band. Ive been playing for 15 years approx. If it were lost or stolen i would definetly buy again as for the price+quality make it a bargain. I love the size, its noise free and does what it should do......makes you forget about it even being there. Theres nowt to hate. I compared to other units and i would still buy this unit first if it was double the price.

Very easy to use.

Velcro the unit to your pedalboard (with the supplied velcro), plug in as many daisy chain cables as you need to power all your pedals, plug the daisy chains into your pedals and hey presto, they'll all receive power and work great :D

I'm using this unit with my pedalboard which at the minute features:

Modified Vox 847 Wah--BOSS TU2 Pedal Tuner--Fulltone Fulldrive II--G2D Custom Overdrive--Modified Ibanez TS9 Tubescreamer--BOSS CE5 Chorus Ensemble--Ibanez DE7 Delay/Echo--Fulltone Fat Boost

The Powerstation powers this pedals well, and there's no hum. Unlike when I have used other power supplies in the past.

In the forseeable future I'm also adding a Phaser pedal and a 4-way True Bypass Looper. I have total confidence in this unit, and don't forsee any problems with powering the Looper and Phaser aswell as my other pedals from 1 Powerstation.

I've only had this unit for a few weeks, but have already used it at several gigs and band rehearsals and haven't had any problems with it.

I can't really comment on reliability in the long run, but it looks to be a very sturdy and well built item. So I don't expect any problems from it.

I bought this power supply direct from Diago, and they were very helpful and polite when I asked them questions before buying the Powerstation.

They even offered info on alternate ways to attach pedals onto a pedalboard, and were very helpful as regards questions I had about some of their other products.

I feel if I ever had a problem with the Powerstation, that I could email them and get help.

I compared this unit to the Visual Sound 1-spot and the Godlyke Powerall, but I bought the Diago Powerstation because to me, it seemed the best value for money of the 3.

After comparing the specs of the 3 power supplies, the Diago seemed to have alot better spec than the other 2 (and better reviews), and it was the same price! This virtually made my mind up for me on the spot.

I have total confidence in this product, and would definitely rely on it 100%.

Use velcro strip 2 stick to pedal board, connect power leads and away you are.

No hum or any other dodgy.was a bit worried if it would work for alot of pedals but had no probs at all!!best power supply iv had.

Havent had one problem yet.

The company are very helpful and I would recommend it to everyone.Everything I and my other band member have bought from here has been relaible and brilliant quality!

As i said before,the best power pack i have purchased.Reliable and great quality.

Very easy to use.

Plug the unit in, plug in the daisy chains to power your pedals and away you go!

I've used this power supply with my band on a number of gigs now and haven't had any problems with it at all.

My pedalboard is currently:

Modified Vox Wah--BOSS TU2 Pedal Tuner--Fulltone Fulldrive 2--G2D Custom Overdrive--Modified Ibanez Tubescreamer--Boss CE5 Chorus Ensemble--Ibanez DE7 Delay/Echo--Fulltone Fat Boost

I also plan on adding a Phaser and a 4-way true bypass loop box to my pedalboard in the future, and I don't forsee any problems with the Powerstation powering these aswell.

I haven't noticed any buzz or hum from this power supply, as I have when powering my pedals from other sources.

I would depend on this unit whole heartedly and wouldn't expect any problems with it at all.

There's not an awful lot to go wrong, and the unit seems very sturdy and well built.

I've exchanged several emails with James from Diago before purchasing the unit and replies were always very quick and polite.

James was also very open as regards his answers to questions I asked him as regards the powerstation and other products from Diago.

I feel I could definitely rely on their help if I ever had any problems with their products.

This power supply is ideal for someone like myself that uses quite a substantial amount of pedals and doesn't wanna worry about their power supply not being able to cope with the strain.

I've used home-made power supplies, Daisy Chains from my BOSS Tuner and the Pedal Bank to power my pedals in the past and none of them have ever been as good as this power supply.

I would definitely consider buying other Diago products in the future.

Could not be easier

No hum and NO sound quality loss! Brilliant.I`m using this with Boss TU-2, Cry Baby, MXR Phase 90, MXR Doubleshot Distortion, Custom switcher, Boss BF-2 & CE-2, Dan Electro Rocky Road and Line 6 Delay Modeller.

Only had the unit a week, so too early to tell.

Had a minor problem with plug adaptor (Line 6) but service was excellent with Diago sending out a replacement even before I`d returned the original. And they sent me a free splitter lead as compesation.

Highly recommended.

Very, you just plug it in, how simple do you need

There is little or no hum when plugged in to its full capacaty, 30 pedals, it works great o my live rig

Ive gigged many times with mine, and it;s never broken, my lead guitarist has a similar power supply and it has broke numerous times, it just shows the quality of build

never dealt with them, haven't needed to

Plug it in and off you go.

I am using this to power around eight pedals Guitar > Budda Wah > HBE Compressor > Ibanez TS9 > RAT2 > Guyatone Flanger > Boss CH1 > Boss DD3 > Ibanez EM5 > Amp. No hum which is attributed to the electrical switching.

Not owned it long but it looks solid enough, like a laptop adaptor except smaller. I don't anticipate any problems.

Never had to speak to them.

For a adaptor this thing will power as many pedals as you need, just daisy chain them. For #50 you couls buy two new boss power supplies but you don't get the same output, weight or convience of the single diago powerstation. Worth a go

Plug it in, how easy can it get.

8 effects plugged into it Budda Wah > HBE Comp > TS9 > RAT > Guyatone Flanger > Boss Ch1 > Boss DD3 > Ibanez EM5. No external hum from the power supply.

Looks solid, a laptop styled adaptor except smaller. I don't envisage it breaking sometime soon.

Never had to deal with them, so I can't really say.

I was looking for a electrical switching adaptor that could power a multitude of pedals, mainly time-based (i.e. modulation, delay, chorus, etc..). The reviews of this unit are favourable and has enough output to power all the effect pedals you need. You could get two boss adaptors for the money but you wouldn't get the same power nor the compact size & weight. Worth the money in my opinion

Plug and go! Simple as that!

Used with about 15 Boss pedals - no noise generation at all!

100% so far have used this for 2 - 3 months - could be simpler - minimal heat generation.

Spoke to James Kitchen in person - incredibly helpful - no end of advice available.

I play all different kinds of music using a wide range of effects pedals including Boss, Ibanez, EH - all work perfectly well with this superb little unit - no noise or excessive heat generation!

As simple as can be - velcro the impressively small unit to your pedalboard with the supplied velcro, plug into your pedals and turn the mains on! As with any daisy chain setup the length of cable between plugs can be a problem, but only if you have your pedals spread out a bit. Adaptors are available to fit most pedals.

The current available from this unit is high compared to other power supplies meaning a larger number of pedals can be daisy chained. Most important however is the silent operation - you don't want your pedals to buzz like a fridge! The only problem i had was with my line 6 Echo Park pedal which is inherently noisy with any form of power, so can't blame the Powerstation for that problem.

The unit seems as though it won't let you down. Simplicity is one of the keys to good reliabilty so i don't suppose i will have any trouble with this.

I wish the customer support of all companies were as good as Diago! Excellent service as if you were dealing with your local guitar store. Very helpful and i get the impression money is not all that is cared about, but more importantly customer satisfaction.

Don't hesitate - buy one!

Really easy, plug in and go!

Completley noiseless power supply!

I do gig with this without a backup and so far so good.

I can't see this unit failing very easily.

Staff at Diago were extremely helpful with my particular case and there was some really great communication.

This unit is very simple and takes up far less room on your board than a Juicebox or Brick.

The only criticism I'd have is that if the pedals you want to power aren't all in one direct chain you're in trouble but if they are then you're in business!

Doesn't really affect the sound at all, it's a tiny little power supply that will power a good number of pedals. I'm using it with 6 Boss pedals, an original Marshall Bluesbreaker, and two Morley pedals. They're all 9v 2.1mm negative centre pedals, which makes life easier as I don't need adaptors, and the only slight criticism I can make is that the loops between the connectors are quite short so reaching round big pedals is a stretch. You can get power supply splitters from other sources (inc. Maplin) that have longer reaches on them. Oh, that plus it won't power my Whammy pedal, but that's a Digitech problem not a Diago one as it runs off 9VAC.

Playing a collection of Ibanez guitars with DiMarzio's through pedals powered with this into Laney valve amps. The product doesn't add to any noise, and is quieter than when the pedals are running off flagging batteries (particularly the Morley wah pedal which squeals on low power).

I've not had it long, but this type of power supply is usually ultra-reliable, it's designed to handle under- and over-voltage situations with aplomb. Always carry spare batteries and a couple of other regulated PSUs with me anyway just in case, so in an emergency I could patch together a basic pedal board that will do what I need, but I don't forsee any problems with this.

The MD of the company replies to emails quickly and personally. How much better can you get?

It's lightweight, it's tiny, it's ultra reliable and it will save me its own cost in batteries in a matter of weeks. You play with more than a couple of pedals? You NEED one of these!

simple. plug in power supply. plug in pedals. go.

so far i havent had any hum. running around 15 pedals on this at the moment and it goes great.

not been gigged with yet although im using it with 3 regularly practicing bands and its been perfect so far

not had to go through the company yet

Its a power supply. I want my power supply to act as though it doesnt exist. This power supply is light sturdy and small and it doesnt make a noise and its cheap. perfect!

Well packaged, includes velcro and daisy chain of boss type power connectors. I also bought 2 adaptors to fit Electro Harmonix pedals (Small Stone and Small Clone) which just plug in to connectors on the daisy chain. The unit is also small and light so no real problem fitting it in a small slot in a pedal board or adding lots of weight.

I have some FX going in to the amp input and some in the fx loop, with other PSUs I got a terrible ground loop and so had to run some off battery. With this power supply I get no ground loop hum and now I needn't worry about batteries running out of juice. So, it had a positive effect on my sound.

The power supply is running a Boss TU-2 tuner, Cry Baby Wah (the daisy chain fits in this no problems - some power connectors wont fit in the small hold in the side of the wah. In my FX loop I run an EH Small Stone, EH Small Clone and Boss DD-6 delay. It runs these no problems.

Very quick to respond to questions. Good website and fast delivery. What more do you need??

It does what it should and backed with plenty of configuration options from Diago offers a solution to just about any pedal power situation.

Very simple, just plug it into the wall socket, and using the daisy chain power lead, plug all your pedals in.

I am currently running a mix of 14 pedals through this device, and can detect no mains hum. What a relief.

Have not had it that long, but other Diago products that I have give me no cause for concern.

Diago customer support is probably the best before and after sales service I have ever encountered. I have dealt with James Kitchen on many occaions and he is very helpfull.

I would give this an overall rating of 10 as it does exactly what it says on the tin.

I bought the powerstation with a Tourman pedal board so this review refers to both! I was going to use the power supply features on my BOSS NS2 but after purchasing the pedal board decided (considering price, spec and customer service) to treat myself to the power supply as well!

It is very simple to set up, daisy chains can be linked together indefinatly and unusual effects like electro-harmonix and others can be powered with little adaptors which can be bought on the website. Slightly more length on the daisy chains would be the only improvement I could think of, but only if I was nitpicking!

Setting up the pedal board is very easy. Plenty of velcro is supplied and it is very very strong. I would advise you clean the pedals bases first though so the velcro doesn't stay stuck to the board when you take the pedal off!

The power supply is very effective, I am using it with 10+ effects and it doesn't colour the sound at all! There is no pop when you activate the effects either! I am using a Boogie MK1 and a Guild Starfire V

The build quality of the Tourman is excellent, the fabric covering is very swish and it has a posh looking metal plate on the front! The tourman was also deep enough to fit in my H&K rotosphere which is a massive pedal!

The unit seems very sturdy and as it is mounted on the pedal board wouldn't be exposed to rough handling anyway!

The pedal board is in a very sturdy case, it has provision for padlocking as well! I would trust my pedals to be safe in it, even being thrown into the back of a van!

The customer service is really top notch! All my questions were answered promptly before the sale was made! The pedal can't power 13V Electro Harmonix pedals like Electric Mistress or Memory Man but James offered to adapt a power supply for these pedals for the same price as a regular powerstation! He seems a fountain of knowledge and is very very helpful!

All round top drawer customer service!

I had previously attempted to construct my own pedal board which was a big big mistake! Diago pedal boards and powerstations are amazing value for money and really well constructed! I was amazed at the size of the powerstation (not much bigger than a box of matches so it won't take up room where you could put an extra pedal!)

My board consists of: Pearl OC7 Octaver, DOD FX25 Envelope filter, BOSS CS-2, Ibanez Phase Tone II, BOSS PH-2, BOSS GE7, BOSS CE2 (Japanese model), Real McCoy RMC2 Wah, H & K Rotosphere, EH Memory Man, EH Electric Mistress, EH Double Muff, BOSS DD3

I have to power the H & K pedal seperately as it's tube and runs of a really wierd voltage! You can't have it all though, I would 100% recommend both the Tourman and Powerstation to anyone!

Plug in the powerstation and then connect the daisy chain cables to your effects pedals. Switch the power on. It's that easy.

Completely silent operation - which is the whole point, so it suceeds in this respect.

I've had this pedal about a week now, so this is really a case of 'time will tell'. I don't see any reason why it would fail though, it seems well made enough and it never gets really hot or anything.

I emailed the maker and he replied straight away and answered my question. He seems really down to earth and happy to help.

I was looking into getting a single power supply for my pedals because bateries drain too quickly, (and therefore they end up costing more in the long run) and having lots of seperate adapters is expensive, space consuming, and with all those wires overlapping it can be untidy and confusing.

I did some research into the various single unit power supplies availible, but it seemed futile. The "Godlyke powerall" and "One Touch" power supplies both seemed ideal, by their reviews and descriptions here on harmony central and other guitar sites, but i couldn't find anywhere that sold them in this country. Furthermore, not all guitar shops sell single unit power supplies, and the ones that do invariably have big, ugly and expensive brick-sized units that only power about a maximum of 5 pedals and seem generally ureliable and undesirable.

I gave up searching for a while, until i came accross the diago powerstation almost by accident on ebay. It said it worked in all countries (that means including the UK - Yes! ), it could power loads of pedals and even better it was small and discrete. I ordered one there and then and have not been disapointed.

Pros:

+ Works in the UK (or any country - aparently they'll send you a mains cable for your country free of charge if you let them know where you are)
+ No hiss
+ Able to power a lot of pedals at the same time
+ Compatible with loads of pedals (some may require a #3 adapter... but most with a standard boss fitting will be fine)
+ Reasonable price

Cons:

+ The supplied 5-way daisy chain connecter is just a bit too short to go around my crybaby wah, (or another large pedal).

Its so easy my baby daughter can almost use it! Atleast she thinks she can. If your using lots of pedals INVEST IN THE BEST! get one or two of these and make gigs and stuff a little less of a hassle.

I'm no Eric Johnson but I detect no degradation in the tone of my guitar nor volume loss due to the Powerstation. No extra noise either!

Using a Crybaby, Univibe, Tape Echo, Big Muff and Tube Screamer and they all get along with each other thanks to the Powerstation.

It screams quality! Built to last - can take the pressure of the road. A true touring mans product.

Not had to deal with them yet - Can't imagin having to contact them either if this things lasts like I think it will.

Its the top its the tip its the championship - I can't fault it people.

Very simple to use. Connect the daisy chain to your effects, and to the Powerstation. Plug the mains cable in, and off you go.

I use a Tech 21 Trademark 60 amp, with a series of Boss effects in a Boss BCB-60 pedal board. Amazingly the Boss power supply that came with the board is only rated at 200ma but the pedals I use add up to 212ma, so I needed more power. The Powerstation provides it, without generating any detectable noise. BCB-60 owners - get one of these!

I haven't had it long enough to comment on reliability, but it looks well made and I would expect it to last a very long time indeed. In the very unlikely event of a failure, the Boss pedals will work on batteries, so no other backup is needed. The Powerstation is much sturdier than the Boss unit. It comes with a heavier mains flex and a regular 3-pin plug (as opposed to the Boss's plug-in transformer with its weedy two-core wire).

Diago are a very easy company to deal with. I ordered the pedal on the web and it arrived the next morning. James is friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

This unit is a "must" for Boss owners. Its incredibly small, it has a power-on indicator, and its very well made.

The use is quite straightforward: just insert the power cord into the plug and connect all of your pedals and you're ready to go.

There is a bonus velcro strip you can use to attach it to you velcro pedal board, if ever.

I tested it with my 15-watt practice amp, a Gibson ES 335 TD and a bunch of effect pedals:
-George Dennis GD-90 chorus/flanger/volume
-George Dennis GD-30 Wah-wah
-Vox V810 overdrive
-Boss OS-2 overdrive/distortion
-Boss OC-2 octaver
-Behringer OC100 octaver (quite noisy with my previous AC adapter)
-Rocktron Surf Tremolo
-Behringer Vintage Phaser

Provinding 1500 mA, the Powerstation managed to power up all these pedals with no problem. It didn't even get too hot during the test.

Overall it was quite silent. With higher quality effects (such as GD or Boss) there was absolutely no noticeable difference in background noise between the adapter and the use of standard 9v battery.

This little box seems quite sturdy. I guess I have to test in some gigs before giving a real vote here.

Purchased it on ebay, took less than a week to make its way from UK to Italy. Since I had no problems with it (yet? I hope so! :-), I didn't need to contact the support.

PROs:
-It's really SMALL. Much smaller than my previous adapter: won't waste precious space in the pedalboard
-It's silent. Even with 5 effects in chain there's no extra hum other than the one from the amplifier. Moreover it helped a lot in reducing the noise produced by the OC100. Two thumbs up.

CONs:
The daisy chain cord could be longer and could perhaps use L connectors in order to reduce space use between pedals

Plug one end into the wall and the other into your pedals and you're set to go, can't be mutch easier. If your pedals don't have the standard Boss type power inputs you can buy seperate adaptors for #3 each. I gave it a 9 because the adaptors are rather limited in flexibility, making positioning larger pedals (eg, Big Muff) limited.

It's a power supply, it shouldn't interefere with the sound and it doesn't. I've tried it with a recording interface which picks up noise from other power supplies easily, and didn't get any noise from this one.

It's been good so far, and it features chort circuit, overload and over voltage protection, so I'd trust it not to die on me.

The website stated that it should arrive next working day if ordered by 12 noon, I ordered late on Sunday and when it hadn't arrived by wednesday I emailed and asked when I should expect to recieve it. I got a reply in less than ten minutes explaining that he had been moving premesis and had sent it out the previous day, sure enough it arrived the next day. A very nice man indeed.

The website also has a pretty extensive list of what pedals will work with it, and what adaptor you'll need for any particular pedal (if any). It also lists the current draw of most of the listed pedals.

It can supply a total of 1.5A to your pedals, which is certainly more than enough for me. I haven't owned any other power supplies, but this seems to work fine for a fraction of the cost of most others. If it were lost or stolen I'd definitely buy another.

Easy as pie, you just plug it into the mains, a daisy chain into it, and the daisy chain into your pedals. There's adaptors available to power Proco, ehx, line6 or 9v battery type fx (and maybe more, i can't remember). There's no hum, (except apparently if you use loads of line6 tonecore boxes) and it takse up very little space on my new (diago!) pedal board. The company feedback is great- i've had several emails going back and forth and they're always very friendly and helpful.

James even sent some velcro specifically for the powerstation.

Great stuff

no hum, no hiss. perfect

haven't had a problem yet, and it feels pretty tough

superb, as mentioned above

Just brilliant. exactly what i needed- quiet and small and just generally great.

Nothing hard plug it in it works - no messy generic cables or voltage selectors just get in there and go!

No sound quailty, no hiss - same as the pedal line I was running before no hiss at high volumes (AND I MEAN LOUD !!!!!!) -

Effect switching doesn't cause pops or anything

only had a it a day but the owner/customer support seems top notch. if the worst happened you could always go to batteries.

any questions I had were answered promptly prior to purchase and delivery.

I know there's no such thing as perfect but I've been playing for 16 years and pumping batteries into pedals for about the same time - every power solution i looked at before was the size of a house and buzzed with more than 5 pedals, - i've got 10 running off this one, no noiser than it was before when I was on batteries, the power unit is a little bigger than a small box of matches and it does the job for a good price.

I'm not a sales rep but the guy who's got the patent on this is gonna be very rich! - If you don't have one - go get one - don't be like me and spend 15+ years buying batteries - this is the way forward!
