CraigGT Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 The black box behind the BigSky is a little gadget I put together last night (planning it took a bit longer). Mains comes in the back, there's a mains outlet on the left which goes out to power the Helix and it also supplies over 1 amp of 9 volt dc to power the two Strymons. So it only takes a single mains lead now as opposed to a mains lead and two wall warts! I'm quite pleased with that. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VirtualGuitars Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Thanks, that comes from a lifetime working in telecoms :-) I figured. I work in AIG's data center network engineering team, so we are very particular on cable management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well this is the important bit Rysie, the rest is just a fused IEC inlet and an output socket. https://www.rapidonline.com/vigortronix-vtx-214-010-109-10w-ac-dc-power-supply-single-output-9v-84-2195 Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmp22684 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 How good are the reverbs in the Helix? Good enough to invest almost $500 in a separate unit. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rzumwalt Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Another nod to the amazing cable routing and precision pedal placement on your board. Also quite impressed by how clean your power hub is for a homemade device. You can tell anything I made myself by the jagged hacksaw and dremmel tool marring along all the edges, residue along the seams from over use of adhesive to compensate for using the wrong kind of adhesive for the material, mismatched zip ties all over the thing because I gave up with the adhesive, and at least one or two stray wires sticking out of it that I claim are for "future upgrades."
