Today I received my very swanky and cool FAME DCT-200 power supply. Had this on backorder for ages now. You may recall my earlier post on the subject… Its basically a mishmash of the best PSUs out there, but a Chinese knockoff (gotta love ’em!)
It has 8 x 9vDC outlets:
1 – 4: 9v, 100mA
5 – 6: 9v, 250mA
7 – 8: 9v, 100mA – with adjuster to wind down to 4v for battery sag effects – great for fuzzes.
It also has DIP switches. For 7 and 8, it turns on the “sag” potentiometers.
For 1-4, it gives 12.3v, 60mA
For 5-6, it gives 14.5v/12v, 50mA/200mA respectively. Not too shabby!
Total mA is 1600 to boot.
It also has 1 x 12vDC,250mA, and 1 x 12vAC, 250mA so it can power my Line6 DL-4 big green beastie.
Sadly I dont think any of these works with my Digitech XP which is AC only, and I darent risk going over 9v incase I fry it. So I cant do away with the powerstrip and wallwarts completely.
It comes complete with 2 lots of 8 (16) standard cords (black), a couple of 2.5mm cords (blue), a couple jack cords for old EHX effects, a polarity reverser adaptor, and a couple red ones I havent figured out yet, and probably dont need…
Anyway, all that for Euro 59 delivered. I cant think of a better buy.
Oh and one other thing…haha….YES, the outputs are all isolated and protected. Beat that!
Any negatives? Yes – its massive, yellow, and has a tribal image on it. I might refin it in the future.
So this is what my board looked like earlier this evening:
This is what it looks like now:
Managed to squeeze a couple more effects in, relegated the Digidelay in favour of my EchoBase. Quite liking this set up, covers a lot of bases as they say.
Here is a little GIF I made for a laugh of the process:
