Thanks for watching everyone! And congrats to @unfree.radical for winning the Step Up drawing. Also, I've gotten these 2 questions a lot in the comments: 1) "How long will the power bank last?" That all depends on the power bank. The higher the mAh (Milliamp Hours), the longer the battery will last. So it all depends on the gear you are using and how long the power bank can hold a charge for. 2) I've gotten questions about the tips if it will fit certain devices. MyVolts responded and said: "We re-engineered the DC tips with an internal spring, so it will fit both the HX Stomp (5.5/2.5mm) and standard pedals (5.5/2.1mm)" Very cool! Hope that helps!
Hey Scott. We re-engineered the DC tips with an internal spring, so it will fit both the HX Stomp (5.5/2.5mm) and standard pedals (5.5/2.1mm). Glad you found it works well for both!
Thanks Scott for the informative video. I always thought that the Stomp took much more power than it really does. These cables and adaptors are great solutions for portability. I'm so excited, I might just drive 88 MPH tomorrow on the way to work!
88 MPH. Using the ripcord to power my HX stomp and it is amazing. Game changer. I actually also use a USB to USB C adapter, which has been working, so really excited to see a supported USB C version come out.
88 MPH. So I’ve been using power banks forever but this is a great lesson in how to take advantage of MyVolts harnessing usb c to power bigger units. Thanks Scott. 🙂
Interesting.. so the HX Stomp does not need the entire 27 watts of power the PS provide. .. probably I can use those cheapy 5v USB to 9v DC to power it (but sometimes they kinda hit or miss..). Mission Engineering also makes usb C to DC converters using the PD protocol. They are a lot more expensive, but also have isolated and multiple 9v outputs... 88 mph 😎
Great, Scott! I need to power my HX-Stomp at 88 MPH, too, but I have a question: The HX Stomp has a 2.5mm center negative pin and the step up has 2.1mm. How does this work?
On MyVolts website from what I read it says 2.1mm/2.5mm, so I guessed it would for both. I was reading comments just to maybe learn something else from the questions… jijiji
thats a great option, as i use a powerbank to power my pedalboard. The cable telling you the draw would be so helpful! 88 MPH for the win! thanks Scott
Scott, today I purchased the myVolts Ripcord USB to 15V DC Power Cable from Amazon and it charges up my Shure GLXD24+ Dual Band Pro Digital Wireless Microphone System, thanks for your recommendation!
This looks like a brilliant device! I know the quad cortex is 12 V at 3 A I believe it’s negative pin. I’m hoping that this would be a great backup as I don’t have one yet. Thanks for introducing me to this product. Oh and 88 MPH
Fantastic video as always. I'm wondering if that powerbank you're using in the video can power the HX Stomp with its built-in usb C via the MyVolts Step Up.
I recently puchaced a lot of cheap PD converters at aliexpress to do exactly this. THe good thing of the Barebones circuit is that you can choose the output voltage at will and you have the PD versions and the QC versions. I wonder if the myvolt are more stable. 88 MPH (Sorry I am bad at creating funny phrases to put alongside the magic phrase)
Stepping up 5v to 9v while still delivering 3A is like going from "55 MPH" to "88 MPH" - and I am still amazed at how SMALL things are getting these days!
Very cool. Glad you reviewed this. I hav the RipCord and it works really well. BTW you have to drive "88 MPH" to generate 4.2 GigaWatts in the Delorian
Perfect... I use the Pod Go was looking into portable power for it. I use the Volto on a mini pedal board which didn't work on the Pod Go... Duh... now I know why. Thanks for another eye opener video and help. I'll be running "88 MPH" to order this after the drawing... Plus share this with others I know will be interested...
I need to travel in time at 88mph because I remember I bought a center positive Ripcord to power my HX stomp but now that I look at its Original Power supply cable it reads it’s center negative, now I’m confused…
Thank you for the video. I love the idea of powering everything with batteries. I want to unchain us all from the outlet and run at 88 MPH towards this bright future.
This is the first I've seen of this type of device. Thanks for sharing. I hope the delivery drivers don't deliver it going 88 MPH in my neighborhood! 😀
It’s cool but I don’t see a lot of benefit in a live setting. Once you get the power brick hooked up to it, it takes up the same amount of stage space as power transformer and cable on a normal power supply. You also now have to remember to bring the special cable, the power brick and remember to charge the brick before a show. It seems less reliable in my head and you’re only really eliminating one cable run.
Great video Scott. Your explanations were very clear and concise. I can't tell you how many times I've explained how this all works to my friends or folks on TGP. I've been using battery power for years. I started with rechargeable AA Eneloop batteries in a battery holder. Then, I moved on to USB A power banks (before PD was a thing) and a DIY voltage converter box. These days I use only PD power banks and a PD trigger board spliced onto the end of a DC power cable. I also use TheGigRig Isolators and Distributors to provide this battery power to my entire board (servicing more than one pedal). Two things of note: (1) Not every PD power bank supports every voltage (9v is almost always supported), and (2) if your battery dies or you forget to charge it, you can simply replace the battery with an appropriate PD charging brick. That tiny brick serves as a backup plan that will take hardly any roon in your gigbag. And at home, instead of using/charging/using a power bank, just plug in using that little brick for unlimited play time. Battery power combined with wireless guitar systems are so liberating, I actually look at power requirements for any pedals I might buy to make sure they won't cause me to have to plug into the wall - that would be catastrophic :)
I think you're using QC and PD interchangeably...They are not the same thing PD, or Power Delivery, is on the USB-C Standard where QC, or Quick Charge, is a proprietary protocol from Qualcomm intended to work on some Snapdragon cpus in mobile phones. It's PD the one you want to check for. Is this thing anything more than a simple PD trigger with a barrel plug attached to it? Does it do any other "magic" like cleaning out any noise that the switching on the battery bank might be introducing? I have tried usb-c on the Helix before and I did notice noise being introduced which is not present when using the wall adapter... Can you check if you notice that as well?
They are different, but either protocol will work with the Step Up. You wouldn’t be able to use this on the full Helix because that takes an IEC cable. The Stomp is different. But you can reach out and ask them directly, they are very helpful 👍
@ferna186 yes, reading the description, it's just a microcontroller that asks for 9V from the controller and passes it through. No actual "step-up" conversion is done, in electronic terms. So the output will be as noisy as the powerbank or charger output, which is essentially hit or miss, I don't think many chargers optimize for noise.
@@ScottUhlMusic Yeah sorry I meant the HX, not the full Helix. I tried several different powerbanks and usbc adapters and all of them introduced some noise that you can hear on the speakers or headphones. some more than others, but clearly a noise that it isn't present with the wall adapter... So that's why I was curious to see if this adapter performs some cleaning or if it's just a pd trigger.
@@aleksandergrzybowski8899 That's kind of a bummer if that's the case... The triggers are available for very cheap on amazon. They require some assembly and some very basic soldering skills, sure, but are at the very least extremely cheap. The problem is, like you said, chargers are not designed to be used with audio equipment as such so they more than likely introduce some noise and cleaning that does require some actual electronics knowledge.
The step up adapter and cable are exactly the tech I’ve been searching for my pedals. Take them to 88 MPH and beyond! Thanks for the great explanation on this gear! You do such a great job of making it understandable for the novices like me.
Thanks for another fine video! I appreciate the attention to detail on the content and how quickly you get to the point, over and over again on each new point. It makes the video flow so much better, keeps the video shorter and doesn't waste time. I'll be moving at 88 MPH to get one of these
Thank you, I appreciate that! Occasionally I’ll get a comment saying that I go too fast, but I personally cannot stand super slow tutorial videos. So I’m glad to see you and other appreciate the flow of the videos 🤘
Hey Scott, Phenyx Pro sent me their PTU-1U system to try out. It is labeled on the back as DC 12-16V @800mA center +. Would the Step Up 12V+ work or would I need the 15V+ which is out now?
Thanks for all the info you share on your videos! The step up looks amazing as same other products that MyVolts is releasing! It’s great that they work at 88 MPH !
Can’t wait for the 15v. I currently use ripcords to power up 2 slxd dual receivers. I also use a mission engineering 529m to power a Soundcraft ui16 at 18v. Hopefully they release a 18v version.

Any tips for powering multiple devices?
@@tangobasso yup! Check out their new product launching on Kickstarter (just added the link in the description of this video)
I’m watching this video at 88 MPH
Great channel! I have learned a lot about product setup of my HX Stomp and wireless. Thank you. 88 MPH
As always - very nice video with useful tips! My HX Stomp will soon speed up to 88 MPH 😊
Thanks Scott, definitely interested in getting this piece of 88 MPH gear for my Pod Go.
Power tool companies also make USB hubs that are powered off of their batteries, meaning you can have long-lasting cartridge battery system.
Love your channel Scott. Really helpful information, 88 MPH!
Thanks Scott for the informative video. I always thought that the Stomp took much more power than it really does. These cables and adaptors are great solutions for portability. I'm so excited, I might just drive 88 MPH tomorrow on the way to work!
Great Review, your channel is great for musicians!!! Keep up the great work. and Thanks
Thank you!
88MPH is just the speed ticket I need for my outdoor rig. Brilliant review Scott thanks.
thank you for the video, with this device, I could play my gear even at 88 MPH. keep up the good work, it is always helpful.
You are the best with music gadgets! Thank you

Most devices don’t need the full amount of watts needed from the power supply, but just make sure it doesn’t go UNDER the amount you need 🤘
Pod Go has the same thing going on - the PSU can provide 3 amps, but the actual usage, as measured by some community member, is more like 1.3 amps.
88 MPH. I love my myvolts stuff.
Great, Scott! I need to power my HX-Stomp at 88 MPH, too, but I have a question:
The HX Stomp has a 2.5mm center negative pin and the step up has 2.1mm.

I am in Toronto and we are experiencing Windstorms of “88 MPH” & i’m holding onto my hat.
88 MPH, baby, is the speed I drive
You tell me it's alright,
you don't mind a little pain
You say you just want some, power from USB

Pretty sure Doc’s Bird of Prey ended up exceeding 88 MPH when it traveled back in time to 1986, but hell… what do I know
This is nice upgrade to my current USB-A to pedal 9V center negative cables. 88 MPH
I plugged in my 1.21GW USB c cable into my flux capacitor to go 88 MPH
"88 MPH" is the speed I need. Thanx for the informative video, Scott. Awesome as always
88 MPH I have used power banks for some time but this voltage upstep looks great. I will definitely investigate.

Great review. I've recently gone over to an amp sim combined effects pedal so this product would be perfect! 88 MPH
I love this. I will be buying several of the these "88 MPH" Step Ups for all my electronics.
88 MPH, I have already tried to do this without success xd maybe I need the MyVolt connector to do it correctly. Thanks for your videos!
I don`t understand so much about powersupply`s , but Scott in 88 MPH makes it so much easier to understand :)
Sounds like a cool device. Definitely gonna pick up a few. Can I use this to charge my Tesla so it will go 88 MPH?
"88 MPH" Very helpful. Never heard of MyVolts. Thanks!
"88 MPH" SLOW DOWN speeding tickets cost more than a HX stomp these days
I don't know exactly how fast 88 MPH is, but the step up thing is cool and your video is great as always!

Great Video! USB-C will rule them all 🤣 As a 88 MPH or even more! Thanks Scott!
I just upgraded my phone to the new iPhone…. And now I just want only usb c everywhere now haha
Most people don't know the reason why it's 88 MPH in "Back To The Future" is because it's basically "double infinity" sideways :)
