A Power Solution Designed for Today's Pedalboards
More and more musicians are looking for practical and lightweight solutions to power their effects, especially thanks to the almost universal presence of USB ports (chargers, power banks, computers). The Power Tap Portable fits this logic: converting a 5 VDC USB power supply into 9 VDC for your pedals, without multiplying power bricks.Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
This USB power transformer is made for guitarists and bassists who want a simple, mobile, and quick-to-set-up configuration. It is particularly suitable for small setups, rehearsals, mobile sessions, or as a backup solution in a gig bag.USB to 9 VDC Conversion: Simple, Efficient, Secure
The principle is straightforward: you plug the input into a 5 VDC USB source, then get a 9 VDC power supply adapted to pedals. The center-negative polarity corresponds to the most widespread wiring on effects pedals. The short-circuit protection helps secure daily use.Technical specifications
