HI all.
‘’I play my use at the local buskers but find that the sound is a little flat. At home, I like to add a little bit of reverb and chorus from a couple of mini pedals I have so I was thinking of creating a mini pedal board, in a box, with them in, for me to take with me. Compact is the key here.
the issue is power. At home it’s simple but not so simple at buskers and I’d rather have this as a small box I can just switch on and plug into the amp. To this end I see 2 possible options;
Option 1: power each pedal with a 9v battery using a connector (as they don’t have a figment for one in the pedals).
Option 2: power each pedal from a power bank and use a usb to 9v converter for each. This is my preferred option as the power bank is much more convenient, holds more charge and can be used for other things like charging my pickup battery, wireless receiver ‘ transmitter etc.
the question is, has anyone done something like this and could share their experience / issues? Do those converters even work? Will I get other issues such as noise from the power supply? Etc.
extra question - if I run a usb to 9v converter, can I then put a splitter on that to run both pedals or would I need 1 converter per pedal?
