The portability options are cool but man, $155 for only 5 outputs and 12/18V options seems steep when you can get a reputable supply and an extension cable for much less.
I hear you. The components to make these are pretty expensive verses usual power supply components, because we are upscaling from 5v to 9v internally (hence 529) and we make everything here in California using only the best quality components- all extra costs but worth. We are all guitarists on the design and build teams and design and build with guitarists in mind. The 529 only weighs 3oz and will velcro onto the underneath of your board- no drilling or brackets needed :-) The main advantage in my opinion is no risk of mains hum etc when used with battery or USB and you can put your board wherever you like on stage when using a battery.
Paul Shedden it only 9.9 watts of power at 9 volts. that thing cost more than parts I bought to my 20 watt amp project. yes going to 5 to 9v does add cost because of power switching circuit. I just do not see how it can cost so very much for what it does.
That's an insane price for what is essentially a really low power boost converter and power conditioner, if there's a demand for this then there must be plenty of other cheaper options available.
You know you can just daisy chain a bunch of pedals with the volto right? I have 6 pedals off one output with no issues. As long as it's under like 2000mA or something. There's no AC connected so no ground loop is possible.
Yes you can, but usually this does cause noise in the signal chain especially with digital pedals (that have no or bad filters), which then affect all other pedals daisy chained. So I'm glad you have been lucky with yours. When the Volto stops recharging (all batteries do eventually), you have to throw it away. With the 529 you buy a new inexpensive 5v battery or use an alternative USB power source.
I used to have a diy pedal that transforms 5v usb to 9v to use it with pedals, but that was like 5 year ago, the thing is that at that time, most mobile chargers were like 1A tops and very VERY noisy. Nowadays we have way better fast chargers quality with very good noise isolation.
Oooooooo! Is that an XT-2?!??!? Are we getting a demo? Love to see if you find any usable tones because I own one and I use it after a fuzz to tone shape it and add mids.
Get a boxking! More outlets 9v through 24v 10 in total And you'll be able to run all your pedals without being hooked up to the wall or anything else for that matter, and if you forget to charge it you can always charge it while you play. And if I'm not mistaken it's cheaper than the mission engineering. Got my box King and cables to power the entire thing for 88 bucks, one of the best Investments I've ever made
I wonder if there is any humming coming from this device? In the "old, regular, before-USB"-world, some power supplies insert an annoying inconsistency regarding power delivery, resulting in unwanted noise sideffects. If not, this small thing is really genious!
Heya, I've made a pedalboard running on a 5000mah powerbank and 9v converter. It actually eliminated static altogether, and battery powered is almost always going to be cleaner than your houses circuit.
It's taken a while because usb 3.0 allows power through it. Wjile 2.0 doesnt. So devices needed to have those ports and protocols built onto the motherboards. Like laptops. :)
Just get a 5v to 9v converter and any hi powered powered rechargeable power block. Very cheap and last for gig after gig. Been doing it that way for years. Less cables and no noise!
The difference with the 529 is the outputs are isolated, and I don't think they are on the Murig. Things like the murig and other similar very low cost supplies are not usually isolated, as that is where the cost is. Watch out, because many low cost supplies on places like Amazon and Ebay say they are isolated but they are not. For many people it doesn't matter, but if you have digital pedals it can be a real noise issue.
holla ryan.. may i ask ur opinion about fret? i have a PRS SE 245 and i think it was a time for refretting.. what series of jescar fret that fit to my guitar? i want to change fret to jescar, but seriously confused cause jescar have many series 😐
@ryanbruce been wondering for a very long time what amp setting you use for your intro if you could be so kind and share with them to me please thanks big fan.
Yes, you can daisy chain them via the USB to run two supplies from one source. The only caveat is that the two 500mA outputs will be in parallel in this case (daisy chained). The 150mA will always be isolated.
The small iPhone charger is 5W, the large one is 12W. The large one will power the 529 to it's maximum capacity. The small once you will be limited to 1A.

i get the studio use, dont have to fiddle around with your pedal board to do pedal demos just leave this plugged in to your desktop and you are good to go. However, i see no logical reason to use this live?

I'd guess it's so you have the option to power your board if you want to play outdoors somewhere else where power can be an issue. It can also be useful if you're touring in another country where the wall jack is different and especially in areas where electricity can be really finicky.
Weighing only 3oz and attached with velcro, we were mainly aiming at small/medium boards/studio use and thinking about solving the many problems guitarists face when playing live with traditional power supplies e.g. power outlet location, bad power supply/mains hum, running power cables along side audio cables etc. The chances of the battery dying is low. We got over 20 hours running 5 pedals (non digital) and 8 hours with 4 plus one digital (Strymon). with 5v batteries being so cheap, you can afford to have a spare or use your smartphone back up battery if the worse did happen.

Oh Dear Lord of heck, I'm gonna buy one in a minute. It blows my mind. Thank you lovely Fuffy

There is a ton of cheaper options. Some go as low as $25 and there's even cheaper ones that can power only a single pedal.
I love the bass in your intros!
Where is the new rate or roast my rig!?!?!

Fats necks or slim necks, which would u prefer?
Probably slim for shred but fat for the beefy rock
I went with the Joyo 5 rechargeable battery. 3 outputs of 500, 4 outputs of 100, and 1 variable output from 9v, 12v, 18v.
Is the joyo5 fully isolated bro? Much noise with running digital pedals?
Oooooooo! Is that an XT-2?!??!? Are we getting a demo? Love to see if you find any usable tones because I own one and I use it after a fuzz to tone shape it and add mids.

Hey fluff i was wondering if you could review the ibanez Gio series
they are low end guitars and no one has really done a proper review on them.
Can you use a powered usb hub to route multiple usb midi gear (i.e. audio interface midi controller midi keyboard sound pad)
i use one thats basically the same thing made by mugig, theyre like $20 on amazon

Apparently the reason its called 529 - It converts 5v power to 9v hence 5 to 9 = 529

I noticed it has a USB out. Can you daisy chain them to get more connections?
depends of how much mA that output has, but ... if you buy another one, why not run it with its own power adapter or battery?

USB passthrough just in case you only have 1 port to work with
You said isolated. But is it Quiet?
We designed it deliberately to have the lowest noise ceiling out there currently :-)

Does an iPhone charger block give enough power for that to run 5 pedals?
The small iPhone charger is 5W, the large one is 12W. The large one will power the 529 to it's maximum capacity. The small once you will be limited to 1A.
Infinite powaaaa!!!
Boss XT-2 Xtortion pedal sighting
Cheaper alternative please?
Just make sure your source has enough ampage.
These have been around for years. There's even an ultra cheap option which lets power 4 pedals via usb or battery and costs only $25.
More 500 mA outputs would be nice. My mooer pedals can' t run on 150 mA.
You can use 2 of the 150mA outs using a y power cable and get 300mA. So you could run 2 x 300mA and 1 x 500mA
@@paulshedden1404 That's a nice hack. I'm going to remember that. Thanks!
