I'm on my 3rd HX Stomp XL power supply in one year. They cost me $63.00 each with tax.
The thin wire frays where it enters the AC box due to the proximity of that cylinder that's about the size of a C battery.
My 25 year old POD power supply is still perfect, as is my 16 year old my m9 power supply, but I don't think those are compatible with the Stomp XL. I don't think the good folks at Line 6 were on "Top of their game" with this issue, which is an problem for other players according to the reviews. If anyone has a "fix" for this, please let me know. I guess the stomp is fine for desktop use only, but I thought I could use it successfully in professional studio and live performances. Maybe the Line 6 folks will address this in the future with a more professional power supply.
