great video! I've watched it years ago when I started with pedals. Now again:) Now, there are current power plants, though, on the market with the same price. I bought this one and it fits below my Harley Benton Spaceship 50c without adjustments: Rockboard Power Block - Multi Power. For those who watch this video;)

Thanks for the info Petri, that's very nice to hear. Longer screws was such an easy thing for them to improve and it makes the pedalboard way more flexible because you can now easily fit bigger power supplies underneath it.

Im pretty much a newbie when it comes to this but does a power plant help with peforming live without plugging all your pedals in a power outlet?
@TheBedroomRocker1
8 ай бұрын
Thanks for the question. The power plant works like a centralized power supply for you pedals, but you still need to plug the power plant into a power outlet. You connect the power plant to all pedals in the board at home and then at the gig/rehearsal you just need one outlet connection to the power plant. It works similarly to a daisy chain, but the advantages of the power plant iso series are 1) they can provide way more current than a typical daisy chain power supply 2) the outputs to the pedals are isolated so less noise in your setup and 3) you have some variable voltage outputs in case you have pedals that require 12 or 18V. I hope that helps

Thanks for a very clear explaination. I'm sending mine back with the pedal power as it was advertised as being able to work the pedal board underneath. Not So. Unless you're willing to go get screws and Bedrom rocker bottle tops and a bigger drillbit and a drill you might end up as dissapointed as I have. How come these were not supplied? Unusual for Thomann to get an unhappy customer. Anyhow your explanation was clear, concise and to the point and I suggested to Thomann to have a look at it.

Thanks a lot for the comment! Yes, I really don't understand why they don't do these simple modifications out-of-the-box. I feel a lot of people buying the Spaceship 50c would also go for the Iso2-Pro power suppl as they're both budget options

Hello! Thanks for this vid. Can you tell me why you didn't plug the fuzz with the power plant? Using battery?
@TheBedroomRocker1

Hi Gilles, The Fulltone '69 Mk II Fuzz, like most germanium transistor pedals, requires a center-positive polarity rather than the standard center-negative polarity. To power it using the Powerplant ISO-2 Pro, I would need a polarity reverse cable. This should work without any problem, but many people also claim that germanium fuzzes sound their best using old school carbon zinc batteries and that is what I have been using. The circuit consumes very little current (actually most current goes for the LED indicator), so batteries last for months. Fuzz is almost a religion and the bible is likely the Analog Man's website. There's an entire section there talking about batteries there: www.analogman.com/fuzzface.htm I am planning to do a shoot-out video of this fuzz running on carbon zinc battery vs. alkaline battery vs. power supply to see if I actually notice any difference. Stay tuned if you want to see it. Cheers,

Hi Dimitri, I honestly do not know the screw size or model. I just removed the screws and took them to the hardware shop to find one with the same diameter but longer. In case you have not yet bought your board, it seems these are now shipped with longer screws (check the comment from Petri just below yours). Hope it helps! Keep on rockin'!

I did see a few comments and reviews talking about longer screws being shipped with the board, but I wanted to be sure so I contacted the Thomann customer service to ask about it but the person who replied to me said that they did not actually ship longer screws with the board, so I'm confused. I think I'll just get it anyway and hope that the longer screws are actually in there, and if not, the mod doesn't look that hard. Thanks again for making this video!

Fala Eder! Obrigado pelo comentário! Eu sigo usando a minha fonte Harley Benton ISO-2 Pro depois de uns 2-2.5 anos e nunca tive nenhum problema, então eu recomendo sim! Desde que eu fiz este vídeo, a Harley Benton lançou uma nova fonte ISO-5 Pro (www.thomann.de/intl/harley_benton_powerplant_iso_5_pro.htm?partner_id=60170), que tem 5 saídas (3@9V + 2@9/12/18V) e é um pouco menor, justamente pra caber embaixo destas pedalboards planas. Se você precisar de mais do que 5 saídas, eu recomendaria você comprar a ISO-2 Pro e ver se cabe. Se não couber, remova os parafusos da pedalboard, vá a uma loja de construção e compre parafusos mais longos de mesma rosca e diâmetro... assim você pode ajustar a altura da pedalboard com os parafusos e deixar mais espaço pra fonte caber embaixo. Você pode inclusive comprar as duas fontes e ver qual cabe e fica melhor pra sua pedalboard, e depois retorne a outra... você sempre tem 30 dias para retornar os produtos comprados na Thomann. Boa sorte aí!

@@TheBedroomRocker1 According to a German userreviews on the Thomann site, it seems like they added longer screws and washers to the product now. Now I've seen it mentioned somewhere in the comments under your video too, so this might be the case. Something I'd like to ask you... is the powercable really that bad? I see in your video that it's really quite thin. Some Thomann users said it starts to crumble very fast. Watching your video, it really seems like the power supply cable is the weak point and I wonder if we could purchase and use a different one? I wonder what kind of cable it has to be. Honestly, the power cable looks like you could burn a house down with it lol. It doesn't look safe at all.
@TheBedroomRocker1

@@VideosVonDennis To be honest it does look very fragile, but I've been careful with mine and it is still working perfectly after more than 2 years. It also bothers me that the cable is short, so you need to be close to a power socket on stage. I would try it before considering to buy a different one. In any case, it has a regular DC connection and provides 2A at 12V, so any other 12V power supply that can deliver more than 2A will work fine. An interesting alternative could be the new HB PowerPlant PowerBank+ for 87 EUR. It has a large battery in it and can output 2A at 12V to feed the ISO-2 Pro. You can charge beforehand and then be free from sockets on stages, but you can also charge it while playing. However, there are no reviews at Thomann's website so far, so it would be a bet...

I used a wider drill bit instead :) Thomann sells the feet used on the other boards (40, 60, etc) I used a bigger drill bit and made the holes wider (like when installing CTS pots on import guitars) then just screwed on the feet and job done - bonus, you can then adjust the height of the board as you wish
