When you just have to share power for many pedals

Anonymous 01.12.2014

The cable is ok quality. Does it's job.
Sometimes there are not enough sockets in powersource, so have to share power.
However you should also consider some side effects.
Some pedals bleed effect a litlle thru power cable.. For exampe you could hear a tiny pit of flanger going on even tho that pedal is not on, but power-cable-connceted analog delay pedal is on. That is one reason people like to use isolated powersource outputs or batteries.
Then pedals require different amount of power. If you have chained pedals requiring lots of power and your powersource output can't put it up, your pedals might light up like its on, but there is no sound.

Very good cable.

0209 19.02.2014

With this cable up to five pedals can be used with one power supply. With two of these in series up to nine pedals and so on. But make sure your power supply has enough power for so many pedals. Just add the mA specifications on your pedals and compare with the one on the power supply. When using a good power supply, the sound is not affected, i.e. there is no increase of hum or buzz etc.
Since there is no need for batteries anymore, this item saves money. Moreover this is very helpful, to build a well organized pedal board. The cable is long enough, such that the pedals don't have to be to close and you can get rid of some big power supplies and extension blocks, blocking space on the board.

It works, but questionable construction and material choices

Han-earl Park 18.08.2025

It does what it's supposed to do (i.e. transmit low-current, low-voltage DC power over short distances).

Even at this low price, however, I think the construction and material choices leave a lot to be desired. Rather than using individually insulated two-conductor cable, the DC5 uses a single-core shielded cable. Not a bad choice in itself, but this prticular cable has a very, very thin core (with maybe 8 copper strands), and the core is connected to the negative side (assuming Boss-style center negative wiring).

As I said, it does work, but I'd recommend trying something else first.

it do deliver.

BjornIP 02.08.2021

I really went for an other product, but Thomann didn't have it in stock so i went with this as a panic buy. First off all I only wanted to daisy chain 4 pedals, so with this I have an extra plug I don't need. Secondly it is way to long wires between the plugs. But it feels and looks like a quality product so I guess I just settle for it.
