Guitarists and bassists often share a healthy obsession with effects pedals, and many collect them in abundance. When multiple pedals are used at the same time, however, a single power supply makes sense: Enter the Xvive V19 Micro Power Supply. This innovative unit provides eight independent power outputs, thus offering sufficient flexibility for most setups. The Xvive V19 Micro Power Supply is also attractively priced, making it an ideal choice for beginners foraying into the world of bass and guitar effects for the first time.
Housed in a slick and sturdy metal casing, the Xvive V19 Micro Power Supply takes up very little space, and can easily fit on or under a pedalboard. As mentioned above, it features eight independent outputs: Seven provide 9V at up to 300mA each, which is ideal for most analogue pedals, and the single 18V output provides 150mA. Individual LEDs display the activity on each output - and in the event of a failure on one of the outputs, the others will still continue working. The scope of delivery also includes a power adapter as well as all of the necessary cables.
When musicians develop a taste for effects pedals, their collections tend to grow rather quickly. That being the case, it is never a bad idea to invest in a power supply with a generous number of outputs from the start. The Xvive V19 Micro Power Supply's eight outputs give musicians sufficient scope for future expansion, and will suit ambitious beginners and seasoned performers alike. Players who don't have a whole lot of real estate to play around with on their pedalboard will also certainly appreciate the compact, space-saving design of the Xvive V19 Micro Power Supply.
Xvive Audio officially entered the market in 2012 with its compact U2 wireless guitar system. Since then, the company has also been involved in the development of wireless microphone technology. Its catalogue also includes effects pedals, such as the Signature Series, which were developed in partnership with guitarist Thomas Blug. The products are designed by an American team, based in Pasadena, California, which is composed of musicians and engineers and draws on decades of professional experience. Its lead designer, Howard Davies, was previously employed at Electro Harmonix and Pigtronix, among others. Xvive Audio's goal is to create products that deliver exceptional sound and build quality, while remaining affordable for any musician.
