Battery Billionaire Effects Pedal Power Supply Review

Danelectro Battery Billionaire Effects Power Supply

I sit in for a session or two with a local group when I go down to the Caribbean each year. I normally use a tuner and a tube screamer powered by battery chargers here in the States. On the island where I stay (and play) the local power is 240V/50Hz. The battery chargers can handle the 240 volts. The problem is the 50Hz. The 50-cycle hum gets amplified & mixed with the guitar signal… read more with terrible results. I needed a way to power my pedals without having the killer 50Hz squeal. Chris Nunley (Sales Engineer, Sweetwater Sound, Inc) came to the rescue when he recommended the Danelectro Power Supply with its 4 x 9-volt Outputs and Power Kill Switch. It's PERFECT for what I need. I have more than enough power to play each weekend. I also really like the Kill Switch which does away with having to unplug the pedals when not in use.

Solid Solution

If you're using 9V batteries for more than one stompbox this will make battery swaps simple and much quicker than unscrewing the backplate on a Vintage MXR Distortion + or similar. Please bear in mind it is not DESIGNED to power digital multieffects or other modern, high-current devices; each battery will last about as long as it would inside the particular pedal that it powers;… read more if a carbon-zinc battery lasts a month in your vintage fuzz, that battery life is not gonna change, but if your device eats alkalines for lunch, that's not gonna change, either. Within it's limitations, this is a terrific time and hassle saver.

Battery Burner

I got this for a show I was playing, thinking that it would be a good way to save on space and cabling. When it arrived and I tossed the batteries it came with in it, they died immediately. Thinking they were just bad/old batteries (the date on them did say 2019), I got a brand new set of batteries and tossed them in. Problem solved! At least for about 45 minutes. Luckily it was… read more during rehearsal, but the two outputs I had my multi-effects and my Drop died in the middle of the set list. I quickly plugged them into the remaining two outputs that had fresh batteries. It's a great idea of a product, but be prepared to go through tons of batteries. If you have a set list longer than 30 minutes you're kinda screwed, and if you're using all 4 outputs, you're definitely screwed. Buy a wall powered power supply. Don't risk compromising your show

Disappointed

Batteries don't last long and very few pedals work with it. It winds up Being a backup battery storage case.
