Converter to enable a pedal power supply to run from a USB source

- Trevor Curven

Whether you're running just a few pedals or have a mega 'board in action, a decent mains-powered pedal power supply with multiple outputs is essential - just plug it into the wall socket and you're good to go.

However, there may be occasions when you can't easily plug it into the wall socket and, that's where Walrus Audio's latest widget, the Canvas Power USB, comes into play. This compact converter box enables certain standard pedal power supplies to run from USB power delivery, which could be supplied by a laptop charger, high-powered phone chargers or, for truly portable operation, by a USB PD (Power Delivery) battery pack.
