Temple Audio Rocks
The best way to power up your board. unreal how easy this is and works for years. thanks
Temple audio Power cable
This company has a lot of things streamlined to make your pedalboard very modular and easy to customize. It's not cheap but it works well. Their board are reasonably priced but when you get it all done it can get up therein $s. Sweetwater is always helpful if you need a consult!
Almost Perfect
As you can see in many other reviews- the mounting hardware is pretty bad. The actual plugs and switch are fantastic. I have 3 and one is 10 years old and has had a lot of beer and water spilled on it. Works fine.
Yes please.
Oh yeah, it's all coming together.
Works Well, But Not As-Is
Does what it's supposed to, but only after drilling through the board and using M3 bolts and nuts to hold the module in place. The stock machine screws only thread into like 1/16" of the board, and it just is not sturdy. This sadly is the case for all Temple board mods. An unfortunate design flaw
Awesome Quality Best on the market.
I made a custom wood board and was wanting to see how easy it would be to attach this to it. After tracing the outline and routing the cut out, it worked perfectly!
Temple Rules!!
I haven't hidden the fact that I think the Temple system is the absolute best pedalboard. I own two of them. It's because of their module concept and this is another excellent example of why you should head down this route if you haven't already. It's the ONLY pedalboard brand I will ever use.
Temple + CIOKS = GREATNESS!!
Great product.
Exactly what I wanted it to be. Super easy to install. Just unscrew the two feet screws and the two rail screws. Pop the colored side off the board and install the iec module. Then just pop the side back on and screw it together. Took less than 5 minutes. Screwed right in and is holding strong. No wiggle room. Tested and pedalboard fired right up.
Great but takes a little work to get installed
I read the reviews about how hard it is to install so I just removed the carry handle on the top and the entire side panel before I installed it. Once the side was off it installed pretty easily with the provided screwdriver. I found a right-angle power cable online that keeps everything nice and neat. It's great to be able to turn the entire board off now without having to remove a bunch of power cables from each pedal.
Finally switched power with mounting fix
This is a fantastic product that finally gives you a way to power off your entire board via a switch on the main power input. The problem with this product along with all of their products (I imagine) is the mounting solution with the short screws. The following was my fix and it worked but proceeded at your own risk, lol. This unit's mounting plate is hard plastic with a metal backing plate. I took a semi coarse file and removed about half the thickness of the hard plastic on both sides, right around where the countersink ends. I did remove the entire side plate from the board to securely mount the cord. I used a dab of loctite on the supplied silver screws and the end result was a firm sturdy mounted IEC main power switch.
Included screwdriver does not work
The screwdriver I was given does not fit the screws.
Thankfully, I have a set of tiny screwdrivers and was able to get it mounted with one of those.
screws too short and included screwdriver is useless
While I love the concept, the screws are too short. You'll be lucky to get one revolution. I can't see this screw holding long-term. And, with such a tiny screw, they couldn't supply a magnetized one? It's nice that there is an included long and thin screwdriver. Too bad the head is too fat to fit the included screws. Once I deal with the screw issue, I'm sure this will be a five star product and an improvement to my board, but this shouldn't have to be so hard. Be aware that you are going to have to remove the side panel to install this, and this requires an L-shaped screwdriver. My ultra low profile offset screwdrivers didn't fit for removing the side.
Great, but a little pricey
High quality and mounts well. Does exactly what it should do but a little pricey.
Temple Audio IEC MIcro Module
Module works flawlessly. A nice addition to my board. Although board required partial disassembly to install because mounting screws are very small.
Solid Unit, careful with install
Does what it is supposed to, however install can be a little tricky. I have a Duo24 and you really can't get both screws in, which you 100% want, without removing one of the side panels. Also save the screws from the punch out and use those rather than the ones that come with this. I've seen several reviews talking about how the screws and holes didn't quite want to match up or thread and that was the case with mine. Make sure you use a screw bit that fits the screws well so you don't strip the heads out on them. If you're patient and take your time with it you'll be fine and you'll have a solid addition to your board.
Good idea, bad execution
I love the modularity that temple audio boards affords, and I have to say that every other module I have bought from them works well, this one has a big flaw - the actual mounting design. So this is designed to fit into a micro module in a temple audio board, however if that micro module is placed towards the back of the board you will not be able to place both screws in. The IEC module is too fat. You will not have enough space on one side to fit a screw and screwdriver. Another minor issue is the length of the screw itself. It's just barely long enough for the socket. You'll have to come up with another method to secure the module if you don't want it to come loose.
A must have for a pro quality board
I have a temple audio duo 24 and a voodoo labs power supply and this module is a perfect fit. I originally had removed the module cover and ran the iec cord through it! Talk about a hillbilly. I had to get this unit and I'm glad I did. This makes it a pro quality job that us amateurs can achieve!
Very nice option and application
Very easy to install. I still don't know why Temple Audio doesn't put a little manual to explain the possibilities! This gear is great stuff and they should blow their own horn a little bit. That said it is pretty easy for any gear head to figure it out, it is a process that takes time and patience. Itsworth it when you're done and playing through it all. Fun times from purchase to playing.
Great switch, does the job, finicky mounting
I got it installed in under 5 minutes, so it isn't hard, but it's not a great experience. I ended up using the included extra long screw driver, pushed the screw threw the mounting hole toward the back of the board (the one you can't see), and hoped I had it lined up as I placed the unit into the frame of the pedalboard. It only took me a few tries, but I don't feel super confident in the mounting screws in terms of ruggedness.
Pedal board cable
2 screws to secure to the pedal board. Not difficult to install.
Temple Audio
Good addition to manage your power cable on the Temple board.
Must have for Temple boards
I really think Temple should include these and the 4-Way Jack Patch on all boards but I realize not everyone has the same devices. In my case, I was connecting the power cable 3-4" inches directly into power supply under a fairly loaded board, not ideal. So now it connects easily and looks more professional.
Good quality
I had no problem screwing it to my board with the supplied screwdriver and I have big hands. Take your time and it's not that difficult. My only complaint is I wish the cord was about 6 inches longer.
Over priced but good quality
This is a great addition to a Temple Audio board. Perfect power supply feed and the switch is cool. This is over priced but the quality and fit are very good. You MUST remove the side panel to install this without going insane - trust me! Would purchase again 10/10.
Great for Temple Boards
Best way ever to get external power to your pedal power supplies. I have two mounted under my board. Plugged a Y connector into this and each end to my power sources. This thing also has a switch too so after you plug a source into it, flip the switch and your board will light up.
Screws aren’t long enough
The included screws aren't long enough to mount onto the board.
Expensive but handy
It's expensive, but it's well designed and the switch is definitely very handy.
The screws are very light duty so I'm worried that repeated unplugging/plugging will cause problems, thankfully I keep it at home so I won't have to worry about hard use.
Temple IEC Module
Using on my Table DUO34 board in conjunction with an IEC power strip to power 11 pedals. Works great and was very easy to install.
Nearly perfect solution to connecting Mains to power module
I like the product BUT - it needs a mounting bracket so I can use it on my Pedaltrain board. Without the mounting bracket it is flawed.
Works perfect
Makes my board look good and tighty
Does it’s job but also looks dope
This thing is as advertised and makes the my pedalboard look even better. Love the Temple boards and their awesome customization options.
Pricey but worth it!
I was going to build one of these for less money, but decided to buy it because every other Temple Audio product I've purchased has been top notch. This was perfect for getting power to my Duo 24's CIOKS DC-7 power supply.
Word to the wise: To install this in your Temple Audio board, remove whatever side of the board you're installing this is in so you'll have unfettered access to the rear screw. Otherwise, you'll need be inventing new curse words!
Love Temple audio
I now think Temple audio's pedal boards are the best thought out pedal board systems on the market. The power module is a great accessory to make a clean pedal board.
AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE
Received the cable and switch was broken and couldn't turn it off by the power switch. While it was connected it worked fantastic. Contacted company and waiting on replacement. This company has the most AMAZING customer service I have ever encountered! TJ Deller and Jake Schmidtendorff contacted me back in less than an hour and had a replacement sent out right away! This company and it's employees truly care about their customers!
Almost perfect
Functions beautifully. Great usability upgrade. They don't make a version with a standard 110 female end so a standard 1Spot power supply can be used. So, I had to cut the plug off and install a new one. Not a big deal, but another few bucks on top of the already high cost.
Pedal power.
Perfect for the final touch when routing power through the Temple board to the power supply.
Has a switch for turning power on and off without unplugging from the main power supply. Also has an additional noise suppression circuit built in.
Definitely a must for a professional functioning board.
Good for stationary boards
My Board doesn't move from place to place too often, so it's really nice to be able to just hit the switch to turn it off. I have my power unit mounted under the board, so this makes it easier to connect/disconnect the power from the side of the board rather than from the unit it. Only con is the price. I guess that depends on how you value convenience.
Doesn't work if screws are painted shut
Don't buy a Templeboard. Their online video instructions are deceptive, as in reality, the ports on their boards are PAINTED SHUT! The supplied screwdriver will only round out the screws. Waste of time and money.
If you have a Temple Audio board get this
This makes getting my pedal board situated so much easier. I really like the on/off switch, because my pedal board stays in my room and some lights flash even when the pedal is turned off. If you have a Temple Audio board, do yourself a favor and get this.
I rated 4 stars because the screws look a little sketchy. I'm worried that by pushing on it over and over inserting the power cable that they'll just push out. They need longer screws, not much thread actually grabs. Lastly it's not easy to install unless you take the side plate off of the board.
Temple Audio pedal board. IEC A/C mains
Great product and super easy to install. I switched over to Temple Audio pedalboards, I had a love , hate relationship with Velcro... lol. And Sweetwater is the best, I've bought high line amps and effects from them for years. Top notch service and super fast delivery. I'd buy guitars from them to, but I use mostly vintage guitars... Johnny Rocks
Works, but mounting hardware subpar
I've had it about a year now. Gentle home use, but the screws that hold this in have already failed. The plug/switch still work, but it gets pushed under the board with even a small amount of pressure. I was able to rethread one of the screws, but the second seems like the threads are stripped.
For what this cost, it really should include longer screws for mounting to the board. There's only enough room for a couple of threads to grab.
Great addition to an already great pedal board
This is a must have if you are planning on using this board. Well worth the additional price as it couldn't be easier to set up your power supply underneath. It's especially nice if you have everything in your home studio, you don't need to unplug it every time you're done playing, just hit the switch. Temple has a great video for install, I suggest taking the side mount off entirely for any installations, it is much easier.
Micro Module
Solid construction
Just what I needed.
This is a really nice addition to my pedal board. I like not having to reach under the board or behind a bunch of stuff to unplug the power supply when not in use. My only complaint with this is how difficult it is to get the plug screwed into the board. You have to put the screw in first, then hope you hold it at exactly the right angle while you finagle the thing into place. Took me about 20 minutes and alot of frustration to finally get the screw in by the front of the pedal board. I tried the other way first, but then I couldn't even get to the front screw. Overall, as long as this holds up I won't have any issues with it and recommend it to anyone with a Temple Audio board.
Nice feature for TempleAudio Pedalboards
Aside from being a little tight, space-wise, for installing on the TempleAudio Pedalboards, this is a really awesome feature. I haven’t put up to any extended live-show tests yet, but it seems very durable in the studio. I like the on/off switch as well. *I eventually wound up removing one side bracket of the board to install this. It’s not too big of a deal, so I didn’t knock any stars off.
Temple Audio IEC AC
Works great. A must for pro pedal boards
Easy
This makes life so much easier. A little difficult to install without taking the front plate of the temple board off, but it wasn't terrible at the same time.
