Which line strip to mount on pac seat?

[Terry Sneed]

Will any good heavey duty line strip work, to mount on my pac seat? I really need an 8 plug strip, because of the big power supply plugs on my volume pedal and effects.

Hi Terry,
I would recommend a real good Surge Protector...This could save your amp and other critical equipment in case of a voltage spike...Get one that tells you how many JOULES protection it has...The higher the joule rating, the better the protection...And of course, the more money it costs..

Appreciate the advice Gary. I'll get a good surge protector with a lot of joules. Whatever that is

Yes, get a "good quality" surge protector type strip. I don't know what kind of seat you have and where you can mount it but the Steeler's Choice seats are cutout in the bottom and may even have the legs moved to accomodate it.

That is an issue with the seat builders that have the power strip option. They should be using surge protector types (and not the $10 surge protectors) with all the newer electronic equipment we use.

I have a Furman power strip that I use (not mounted to seat) for my equipment.

Terry..There are power strips available that have wider spacing between some of the sockets to accomodate wallwarts.

Terry:

Do as suggested above. Just be sure to make it surge protector, not just a power strip. Great advice from Jack, as always.

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll look for a surge protector with the wider spacing between outlets.
I think I could get by with a 6 outlet with that kind. Thanks again

You can buy very short (6") extension cords from Radio Shack. Use these on the wall wart and then plug them into your strip. With these you can use all the plugs on the strip. I think they come in a package of three.

Wal-Mart and Harbor Freight sells a 3 into 1 molded rubber plug that may work for what you need. Look to be sure the orientation is the right direction for what you need.
