Welcomed board addition

Posted by Ciaran Cummins on 17th Mar 2021

Don’t known why I waited so long to upgrade to this and other modular power supply parts. No more need for multiple plugs running different pedals and cheap cables breaking every few months. After installing this power supply along with isolators a distributor among other items my board is sounding better, less to no hum and no signal loss. Very happy with this upgrade!

Best PSU I've Owned

Posted by Neill Tupman on 2nd Mar 2021

I've used a Diago Power Station for years now, and whilst this powered everything I needed very quietly, it was still a daisychain, and was probably sucking tone somewhere. I've just wired up my new board using the Generator, Distributor, 3 isolators and a Timelord - through headphones my clean guitar tone sounds loads better! I need to try this through loud amps in a room when we're allowed to rehearse again (Lockdown 3.0 in UK, at time of writing!)

Gigrig Base Pack 1

Posted by Stuart Orren on 28th Feb 2021

After adding a Humdinger and an Isolator to my rig some time ago, I bit the bullet and ordered the base pack 1 and a second isolator to run wet/dry/wet with stereo wet. Now completely silent with all three amps running. More punch, clarity and note definition with all the pedals. Thoroughly recommended.

Power Base Pack 1

Posted by Garry Jones on 13th Feb 2021

After watching The Pedal Show Video about VICP (Voltage, Isolation, Current & Polarity), I became intrigued regarding isolating my pedals, and powering them with clean, regulated power.

Before buying this I was powering my pedals inside a Boss BCB-60, which sounded fine to me, but was very limited in room to expand. Opposed to the The Gigrig setup, the BCB-60 powers all the pedals from a 1A power supply, providing 7x 9v on a daisy chain.

I purchased the Power Base Pack 1 along with a couple of isolators. I wasn't prepared for how much better sounding my pedals seem. The clarity in the signal can't be overstated.

I know it's expensive, but most of our pedals are expensive. Why spend all this money going down the individual pedal route, opposed to multi fx, then cheap out when it comes to powering them?

If you want your pedals to sound their best, go to YouTube, watch The Pedal Show V.I.C.P episode, then come back and purchase this along with however many isolators you need.

The power brick is really solid, and the power supply cable is a decent length. The distributor feels a bit flimsy, like a cheap toy. For how much these things cost a specific tool for pressing in the clips, and levering them out would've been good, but the end result is brilliant nonetheless.

Generator

Posted by Adam on 28th Jan 2021

Came excellently packed and works excellently and really gets the best out of the pedals. It's built sturdy and feels quality.

Top quality stuff, you can hear the difference straight away, and so flexible if, like me, you change your pedalboard completely twice a week.

Power Base Pack 1

Posted by Dave on 21st Oct 2020

This is a really neat piece of kit. Its nice and light, very well built. It was a piece of cake to fit to the board and it comes with all the leads you need. I know sound is subjective but the difference in my pedal sound is very noticeable. It sounds like the boards had some extra sauce added. Gig Rig service and communications were top notch. The gear arrived via a courier and was well packed. Overall I'm really pleased with the kit and would highly recommend it. The next thing I'll pick up from Gig Rig is the Gucci interconnect jacks so I can customise the Board further. Nothing to not like here Guy's, Sanata is on his way soon so get one booked on the pressy list.

5000ma of noise free power!

Posted by James Snell on 15th Oct 2020

More power than you’ll ever need , anywhere in the world (if we are ever allowed). All delivered to a distributor and isolator for noise free peace of mind.

Definitely worth the small premium you pay and as future proof as it gets so I can add to and change my board as often as I like with NO concerns about power and power outputs. Perfect.
