Engine room power supplies
With the increasing demand for higher power pedals, guitarists and bass players' choices are quite limited these days when it comes to pedal power supplies. With our pedalboards ever growing, we need power supplies to keep up with the demand of higher current and higher draw pedals. Fortunately, Fender has now joined the pedal power supply game with its range of engine room power supplies. You have three new options: a 5 Output, an 8 Output and a 12 Output power supply all with completely isolated 500 milliamp outputs.
The cool thing about these pedal power supplies is that they give you completely clean power and can handle high draw pedals such as the Fender MTG tube pedals, Line 6 effects pedals range and even the likes of Strymon.
The 8 and 12 options each of two switchable voltages, USB-A plus USB-C input so you can charge an Acoustasonic guitar or even your phone. The good thing about these power supplies is that they're also fairly budget-friendly compared to others on the market. You won't regret upgrading to a power supply of this calibre.
