I’d probably go 4.5/5 if I could, but overall it’s a great buy.
I wanted to replace the power strip I had on this guitar pedalboard because it had a stupid short cord, I clicked around for way too long and am very glad I landed on this one with the 10’ cord.
The metal enclosure seems super solid and big upgrade from the usual plastic for something that’s going to get knocked around a bunch, so that’s great.
Being properly mountable is a huge bonus for my use case, but would also be great for a permanent install on a desk or entertainment center or whatnot.
The format is a bit unusual with plugs on three sides – I really like this because it makes it smaller, for more efficient use of tight spaces. Would not be ideal if you have several wall warts to worry about, though. It’s super awesome for this setup as I can I hide the power brick underneath and have exposed plugs out front for anything else I need to plug in on the fly.
Two downsides I see –
The more minor one is that the power cable is sort of a flat ribbon style, I’m not 100% how confident it will hold up well to abuse and it won’t coil up easily for transport. Not a big problem, I expect it will be fine, but I’d have preferred more of a regular extension cord style.
My only actual concern that I would ding half a star for is the on off switch. It feels very insubstantial and not like it clicks solidly into place in the on or off position. I’ll be turning this pedalboard on and off exclusively with that switch so it will get a lot of use and I need it not to get finicky, I would have definitely preferred a better switch, but so far so good. I’ll try to remember to update my review if it ends up giving me trouble.
