Hello and help
This is aguitar related, hopefully it's OK to post here....I know you
folks will know the answer. I have a Headrush gigboard on the way....I already know I will need a new power adapter for it. The manual says: Input Voltage 19 VDC, 3.42 A, center-positive Is this enough info that maybe you can point me to what I may need (I am in US). Thanks so much!

It's used, and I got it for a VERY low price....and if it does not work it's fully returnable. Please check out my music: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/defa...bandID=1430296 |

It's funny, I saw the exact same one as the first link on EBay....but that had some of the number blurred (it looked like on purpose)....so I wasn't sure I could trust it.

Please check out my music: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/defa...bandID=1430296 None of those appear to be able to supply 3.4 Amps (which does seem rather a lot). Maybe the expensive one will, but it doesn't specify in the listing. Also you need to be sure you have the right DC connector. If there is a 2.5mm plug into a 2.1mm socket there will be a poor connection, and possibly even a burn-out of the plug/socket. To check, get a 2.1mm plug and if it fits then that's what it is. If it doesn't fit you'll need a 2.5mm plug. I would be a bit doubtful about using one of those PSUs with an array of connectors that clip onto a universal adaptor on the lead - is that high current is for real and not a typo. Maybe best get a real replacement Headrush PSU ? geoff |

They all claim to be 'compatible with the Headrush thang', though none have a listed current rating in the specs. Two with a current rating visible on the device label in the *picture* say 1.6A, which last time I went to school was not 3.42 amps. Given all this lack of concise information, and only general claims which would appear somewhere from rather vague to demonstrably incorrect, I would not be confident that the DC plug would have the correct diameter pin either. Maybe best get a real replacement Headrush PSU ? ** Be a safer bet than any cheap substitute.

Hello and help
Thanks all! I am looking into a new one from Headrush, but I do not
even have the unit yet....so I will wait awhile and do some research in the meantime. If all is good, I'd probably buy a new Headrush OEM unit....though I'll wait and see. Thanks again! Please check out my music: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/defa...bandID=1430296 |

Hello and help
So I got my gigboard. No problems, it works great. Turns out the
seller did not really speak nglish and explained it to me wrong. I simply needed a travel adapter because the adapter included had a European plug, so I just needed to adapt it to USA and all was fine. Thanks again. Please check out my music: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/defa...bandID=1430296 |

Adaptors are a weak point and sometimes come loose when you least expect or want them to. geoff |

Right now I only play at home so it is not an issue, but if I decide to play out, it will definitely a have a good new power supply cord. They are certainkly cheap enough, under $20.
